FOREWORD
This issue is the annual Proceedings number of The Maryland Pharmacist, the official organ of the Maryland Pharmaceutical As- sociation, published as the record of the activities of the Association for the Association year 1964-65.
The reports of officers and committees indicate in a small degree the great contribution, often at personal sacrifice, of many conscien- tious members who give freely of their time, efforts and resources for the benefit of all in pharmacy and those pharmacy serves.
This issue provides a report of the proceedings at the 83rd Con- vention of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association held at the Hotel Dennis, Atlantic City, New Jersey, June 28, 29, 30 - July 1, 1965.
For the first time, a joint session was held with another state pharmaceutical association. The Convention opened with a joint meeting with the New Jersey Pharmaceutical Association. An en- lightening panel presentation and stimulating guest speakers provid- ed informative programs.
The recreational and entertainment features were outstanding, including programs at a night club and special programs for the ladies. TAMPA presented an unusually delightful and entertaining show, which was a Convention highlight.
This issue, in addition, contains valuable information and ref- erence material, such as the roster of registered pharmacists, the membership rolls of the Association and of T.A.M.P.A.
The reports of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and the Maryland Board of Pharmacy and regulations governing the filling of oral narcotic prescriptions are important features available in no other publication. You will find it useful to keep the Proceedings Issue for reference.
The Proceedings Issue reflects part of the broad scope of interest, activities and services encompassed by the Maryland Phar- maceutical Association, the pharmacists of Maryland and those allied with the practice of pharmacy. It indicates that the phar- macists of Maryland approach the practice of pharmacy as a pro- fession, whether engaged in community practice, hospital pharmacy, education, manufacturing, distribution, enforcement or otherwise.
Through his professional association the pharmacist works with his colleagues to advance the profession of pharmacy so that it may be in a position to better serve the public interest which must always be paramount.
If this issue succeeds in an effort to provide some insight to both the membership and the subscribers of the ‘‘state of pharmacy” in Maryland and the essential role of pharmacists as members of the health team, the time and effort entailed in publication have been worthwhile.

6 The Maryland Pharmacist
of the Eighty-Third Annual Meeting of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association Held at HOTEL DENNIS Atlantic City, New Jersey
June 28, 29, 30, July 1, 1965
FIRST SESSION Monday, June 28
The opening part of the First Session of the 83rd Annual Meet- ing was held jointly with the New Jersey State Pharmaceutical As- sociation in the Convention Hall of the Deauville Hotel.
The Joint Session, the first held by the Maryland Pharmaceuti- cal Association with a pharmaceutical association of another state, was called to order at 12:00 by Abraham Rubin, President of the N.J.S.P.A. Mr. Rubin turned the gaval over to Solomon Weiner, M.P.A. President, who opened the proceedings as follows:
“Today is a significant meeting for our two associations. It is not often that two state associations join together at an annual convention.
It is also an historic occasion in that the presidents of our two great national organizations share such a joint platform.
For me it is a great honor to preside on such an occasion. I am delighted to bring the greetings from the officers and members of the state professional society of Maryland pharmacists - the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association.
Maryland has a tradition of producing outstanding leaders in pharmacy. We have provided such men as Caspari, E. F. Kelly, Dunning and Swain. You, therefore, exhibited great wisdom in com- ing to Maryland for your association secretary, Alvin Geser. We are not surprised, therefore, to find that he is performing an out- standing job for the pharmacists of New Jersey.
It is my privilege now to introduce to you our first speaker, Grover C. Bowles, the president of the 112 year old American Phar- maceutical Association, the national professional society of all phar- macists.”
The Maryland Pharmacist
The address of Mr. Bowles was published in the July 1965 issue of The Maryland Pharmacist. President Weiner then introduced Leonard J. Dueker, President of the National Association of Retail Druggists.
Mr. Dueker’s speech may be found in the December 1965 issue of The Maryland Pharmacist.
The Joint Session was concluded with the audience participating in a question and answer period with presidents Bowles and Dueker.
The members of the M.P.A. then proceeded to the Garden Lounge of the Hotel Dennis, where President Weiner called the Convention to order at 2:30 P.M.
After extending a welcome to all in attendance, Mr. Weiner called on the following who brought greetings from their respective organizations: Irving I. Cohen, Immediate Past-President and Chair- man of the Executive Committee, Baltimore Metropolitan Phar- maceutical Association; Mary Connelly, Secretary, Maryland Associa- tion of Hospital Pharmacists; Samuel Wertheimer, Immediate Past President of the Allegany- Garrett Counties Pharmaceutical As- sociation; Richard D. Parker, President, Prince Georges-Montgomery County Pharmaceutical Association Alfred E. Callahan, President, Travelers Auxiliary, Maryland Pharmaceutical Association.
Executive Secretary Nathan I. Gruz read a letter from A. A. M. (Archie) Dewing of Centreville, 1938 M.P.A. President, who express- ed regrets at his inability to be present.
After a welcome from Mr. John M. Snyder, Director of Sales, Hotel Dennis, President Weiner then called upon committee chair- men and others for their reports.

Speaker and Panelists were:
Dr. E. P. Williamson - Pharmacy Liaison Subcommittee, Medical & Chirurgical Faculty.
Dr. B. Martin Middleton - Medical & Chirurgical Legislative Committee.
Mr. Jack Sargeant - Executive Secretary, Medical & Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland.
3. Convention.
The program in your hand covers the activities. However, it is well to note that the Chairman of the Social Committee appoints an all encompassing committee for the Convention only.
This committee has complete representation from MPA, TAMPA and LAMPA. There was one general meeting called - subcommittees appointed and each group given an assign- ment. This resulted in many smaller meetings and at least 3 trips to Atlantic City for discussion with Mr. Jack Snyder, the Director of Sales of the Dennis. It is the sincere hope of your convention committee that their efforts be rewarded by presenting to you a fine and complete convention.

REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE Sam A. Goldstein, Chairman
Delivered by Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr.
No major work was undertaken in the Kelly Memorial Building during the past year. Minor repairs were necessitated and additional shelving installed.
It is expected that arrangements will be completed for the in- stallation of the B. Olive Cole Museum in the foyer of the Kelly Memorial Building. There are plans for changes in the office area necessitated by the establishment of the Museum and for greater working efficiency.
The building is in sound condition and is admired as one of the outstanding state association buildings.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY COMMITTEE
Irving 1. Cohen, Chairman
The School of Pharmacy Committee spent a full and busy year working on the two major projects — the Robert L. Swain Model Pharmacy and the B. Olive Cole Museum, as well as holding an important meeting with the representatives of the various under- graduate classes of the School of Pharmacy.
As to the Model Pharmacy, this project has expended far beyond our expectations. The Henry B. Gilpin Co. has joined with us to furnish a truly model pharmacy—the cost of which at the present time will exceed $20,000. This costly project would not have been possible without the cooperation and assistance of Mr. L. Scott Grauel of the Henry B. Gilpin Co., who not only has gone along with every recommendation of the School of Pharmacy Committee, but has agreed to help raise the necessary fund to im- plement the Pharmacy as well as Museum. It has been a very long time and, while I cannot promise you for sure, I believe a model pharmacy will be installed by October Ist.
The B. Olive Cole Museum is a reality. At this time phase I of the Cole Museum is under construction and your committee is working diligently to raise funds for phase II and phase 1B OE Phase I is the installation of the upper part of the Museum in the room known as the Kelly Room. Phase II represents a 100% remodeling of the downsiairs meeting room and installation of museum cases. Phase III is the installation of an old fashioned pharmacy. Phase II and III will be known as the L. Manuel Hendler section of the B. Olive Cole Museum. The entire project will represent for physical plant approximately $20,000. The Kelly section cost is approximately $3,800. The lower two sections will cost about $17,000.
I hope this year will see the dedication of both projects.
Our relations with the School] of Pharmacy remain excellent. Cooperation, friendly advice and assistance are always forthcoming. Enrollment will be somewhat over 100 students for the three professional years in Baltimore.
A very interesting meeting was held with student representa- tives where the matter of pre-registration working experience was broadly discussed. The feeling among the students is that changes in the mode and method of securing experience be investigated and evaluated. The present system has been in vogue for a long time and perhaps should be revised.
The Pharmacy School Committee plans to meet with the Secretary of the Board of Pharmacy, Frank Balassone, to dis- cuss these matters. For several years a system of preceptorship has been talked about, but nothing concrete has come about. I feel the installation of the Model Pharmacy will in some manner help toward this end, although it is not the answer to the problem.
The Maryland Pharmacist 13
I wish to extend my thanks to the members of my committee, as well aS Dean Noel E.. Foss of the School of Pharmacy, who has extended us his complete cooperation and invaluable assistance. I also wish to extend my thanks to the able trio at the School of Pharmacy — Dr. Ralph Shangraw, Dr. Peter Lamy and Dean Leavitt — for their contributions to the Model Pharmacy project, as well as our own Secretary Nathan Gruz, who has worked so diligently on behalf of our combined projects. His faith, interest and cooperation toward achieving our goals was a source of comfort when things arose to complicate and frustrate our efforts.
REPORT OF THE PROFESSIONAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE Stephen J. Provenza, Chairman
As in previous years, Our committee cooperated with Dr. A. A. Silver, Chairman of the Diabetes Committee of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty and also President of the Maryland Diabetes Association, in promoting National Diabetes Detection Week. In Baltimore an elaborate detection center was established at the Fifth Regiment Armory where diabetic diagnostic procedures were made available to approximately 5,000 patients. Letters were sent to the churches of Baltimore inviting their congregations to come to the Armory for this health event. Scores of volunteer workers and medical technicians from the hospitals in the Baltimore area participated in this project which lasted from Monday through Thursday. Our Association together with the Baltimore Metropoli- tan Pharmaceutical Association presented an exhibit featuring diabetic supplies. Our committee aided in the procurement of medical supplies and publicity in this diabetic detection drive.
In May of this year, the Maryland State Dental Association held its convention at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Our Association was given space for an exhibit which featured the “Accepted Dental Remedies” published by the American Dental Association. The theme was “Consult Your Pharmacist for Drug Information.” Ap- plication blanks for federal narcotic permits were distributed to those dentists interested. As in former years attention was called to the role of the pharmacist who can prepare many formulas of preparations useful in the dental office at an appreciable saving in cost and more conveniently than through dental supply houses.
At the Alcazar in Baltimore, the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty held its annual meeting on April 21, 22 and 23. Our ex- hibit sponsored jointly with the Baltimore Metropolitan Phar- maceutical Association, featured the pharmacist’s library. Memo books were distributed and also federal narcotic regulations fur- nished by the Federal Narcotic Bureau in Baltimore. Approximately 1,000 members, nurses, medical secretaries and internes registered for this meeting. A health evaluation testing center was made available that included chest x-rays, electrocardiograms, urinalysis, four blood chemistries, a tonometer test for glaucoma, blood pres-

sure determinations and other tests. The annual meeting to be held in Baltimore for 1966 is to include a cruise to Bermuda. Phar- macists interested in this cruise may get further information from the Faculty Headquarters at 1211 Cathedral Street.
Physicians have asked the Baltimore Institute and Villa Jolie where medical secretaries are trained that lectures on drug regula- tions, pharmaceutical and medical terminology, besides elementary pharmacology, would make them more valuable. Your Chairman and Jerome L. Fine appeared before these groups of future medical secretaries and discussed these subjects with the aid of a projector with appropriate colored slides.
With chloramphenical (Chloromycetin) , Chloroquine (Aralen), and tranyleypromine (Parnate) causing headlines in the lay, medical and pharmaceutical press the, FDA has turned its attention to physicians and whether they follow labeling instructions in pre- scribing drugs. According to an article in the May 10 issue of the AM.A. Journal written by Dr. D. H. Mills, what is lacking is a complete, reliable and drug compendium. The A.M.A. is to change the title of their publication — “New and Nonofficial Drugs’ — to — “New Drugs.” Whether it fulfills the need in the prescribing of potentially hazardous drugs remains to be seen. At the present time some state courts have held physicians responsible for drug reactions from statements made in the brochures enclosed in drug packages by pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The liaison committee of our Association and the Medical & Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland held regular meetings during the year resulting in a symposium held at our Spring Regional Meet- ing at the Washingtonian Motel. The topic undertaken was “Phy- sician-Pharmacists Relationships.” As a result, two subcommittees were appointed by Victor H. Morgenroth to—
First, write two editorials of approximately 5,000 words to appear in the Baltimore Sun discussing Pharmacy and Medicine.
Second, develop a preliminary report on a mutual code of understanding between Pharmacy and Medicine.
In conclusion, I wish to offer my personal thanks to the follow- ing list for their cooperation and initiative: George Stiffman, Jerry Fine, Max Ansell, Aaron Libowitz, Charles E. Spigelmire, Solomon Weiner, Samuel Sheller, Jerome Mask, Ray Morstein and Morris Bookoff.
Thank you for your attention and if there are any questions or comments, I shall be glad to hear them.
REPORT OF LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE Jerome Mask, Chairman The main function of the Legislative Committee, that of develop-
ing proposals to make needed revisions in our pharmacy laws, was taken over by our Steering Committee composed of representatives
The Maryland Pharmacist 15
of the Board of Pharmacy, Board of Health, MPA and various local associations, chaired by Mr. Balassone.
The Steering Committee, after many hours in many meetings, submitted proposals for changes in our pharmacy laws to the Executive Committee. To endorse the proposals in detail, these pro- posals were presented to the local associations and copies were sent to each member of the MPA. The Executive Committee of the BMPA, the general members and membership of the Eastern Shore Pharmaceutical Society and the Allegany-Garrett County Pharmaceu- tical Association, and with some reservations the Prince Georges- Montgomery Counties Pharmaceutical Association endorsed the pro- posals. Because a quorum was not present at a special meeting called by the MPA for the purpose of obtaining endorsement of these pro- posals, no official vote was taken. However, a large majority of those present and because of no opposition from those not present, the Executive Committee adopted these proposals as its 1965 Legislative program.
The program was submitted to the Maryland Legislature, but the bill was not approved in committee. It is my understanding that the opposition came from within the ranks of pharmacy rather than from sources outside of pharmacy. At a meeting subsequent to this defeat, the Legislative Committee reaffffirmed its endorsement of the aims of the 1965 Legislative program. We determined to seek information that would enable us to modify this proposal, eliminating the objec- tions within pharmacy while keeping the aims and goals of the program intact.
The Legislative Committee was also active in the other areas of legislation. We presented to the Executive Committee views on Medi- care. We were active in obtaining exemptions for pharmacists in min- imum wage requirements. We were active in defeating a Fair Trade repealer. Although not directly a function of the Legislative Com- mittee, we were active in working for increased fees for prescrip- tions filled by the Medical Care obtained this year. We were also instrumental in making it mandatory for a pharmacist to be in- cluded as a member of the Advisory Committee for Hospital Licens- ing.
As Chairman of this committee, I accompanied Secretary Gruz on numerous occasions to Annapolis to contact delegates and state senators. I feel we made some progress in creating a personal rela- tionship with various legislators. I suggest we try to cultivate this relationship. I further suggest that when we hold a function or an affair we invite as guests the legislators in the area where such func- tion or affair is held.
I sincerely hope that next year the Legislative Committee will be able to report more success in its legislative program.

REPORT OF PHARMACY WEEK COMMITTEE Morris L. Cooper, Chairman

The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association sponsors the National Pharmacy Week Competition, which reveals an upward trend in participation and depth of appreciation of professional window dis- plays. It apparently confirms the soundness of the concept of tying the pharmacist more closely to work on major health problems, from
the viewpoint of either public service or public relations.
It is hoped that these carefully selected group of window dis- plays may serve as an incentive to greater use of this type of pro- fessional publicity, thereby increasing respect for a calling that deserves more credit than it receives for its contribution to public health.
The Pharmacy Week Committee of the Maryland Pharmaceuti- cal Association had several meetings during the year, where plans for professional window displays to be installed during National Pharmacy Week and Poison Prevention Week, were formulated. The committee designed and made available window display kits for these two events.
Television and Radio Announcements of National Pharmacy Week were publicized with the able help of Mr. Charles Spigelmire through Stations WWIN, WAYE, WBAL, WITH, WCBM, WMAR- TV and WCAO.
An official proclamation by Governor J. Millard Tawes and Mayor Theodore R. McKeldin proclaimed National Pharmacy Week from October 4th to October 11th. National Pharmacy Week was also publicized thru the BMP.A. News Letter, Calvert Bulletin, Loewy Letter and Gilpin Tips.
The National Pharmacy Week theme this year was,
“Your Pharmacist, serving you more—serving you better”
During this week seventy-nine professional kits were sold and displayed throughout Baltimore City and the State of Maryland.
The decision of the judges were as follows:
1st Prize—Morris L. Cooper, Cooper Drug Store, Park and North
Avenues.
2nd Prize—Aaron Libowitz, Libby’s Rexall Drug Store, 4901 Belair Road.
3rd Prize—John Thomas, Thomas and Thompson, Baltimore and Light Sts. The Judges were: Miss Howard Hubbard, Chief of Public Relations, Enoch Pratt Free Library. Mrs. C. Fenton Harrison, Chairman Public Education, Maryland Division, American Cancer Society.
Dr. Benjamin F. Allen, Associate Professor of Pharmacy, Uni- versity of Maryland School of Pharmacy.

During Poison Prevention Week, March 21-27, 76 professional kits were sold and installed throughout the city and state.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all the members of this committee for their generous support and assistance.
REPORT OF MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
Milton A, Friedman, Chairman
The Membership Committee has met on several occasions during the year and has carried on an extensive program of contacting de- linquent and prospective new members. The Secretary has rendered invaluable assistance in his follow-up work in contacting all such members or prospective members.
The change-over of membership classification last year so that all licensed pharmacists were eligible only for active membership, we believe has worked to the advantage of the Association, even though some associate members dropped out.
We feel that it will be necessary to organize the Membership Committee into groups or sections, one for each geographic area, with Vice-chairmen for each large subdivision. Under each Vice- chairman there should be specific members who will take on the responsibility for specific areas of the State, so that full and effec- tive coverage would be available for canvassing every potential new member, and every possible delinquent member. In this way, mem- bership totals would be increased and delinquencies would be mini- mized. This proposal needs serious study.
Another suggestion which we wish to make stems from the organization of our comparable sister organizations in medicine, law, dentistry, etc. The city and county societies should be component parts of the state organization, so that membership in any city or county society would automatically mean membership in the state association. We realize that some county or city societies might oppose their supposed loss of autonomy, but this has not occurred in the comparable groups named above, and Pharmacy would be strengthened throughout the State if such an arrangement were in effect.
Under the arrangement proposed above, the unit billing system which has already been initiated would serve both the state and the component society, and the membership roster of each would be in- creased. Under the arrangement, a section of The Maryland Pharma- cist would be devoted to each component society, similar to the arrangement of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty Maryland State Medical Journal. In this way, much duplication of mailings would be avoided, and each component society’s members would know what is going on throughout the State. This would increase interest and attendance at all meetings, and should increase the advertisements available to The Maryland Pharmacist.

assistance.
REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE Gordon A. Mouat, Chairman
The Finance Committee has had two meetings since its appoint- ment last summer. The first meeting was held on November 20, 1964 with three invited guests; Irving Cohen, President BMPA, Sam Goldstein, Chairman Finance Committee BMPA, and Dean Noel E. Foss.
Upon examining the 1963-64 Budget, it was found the antici- pated income was exceeded by about $1500.00, most of which was due to income derived from the 1964 Convention. Expenses were about $1300.00 less than anticipated which was due to having allocated $1500.00 to the Legislative Committee and their use was only $175.00. After reviewing the expenses and income from the past year and projecting same for this year, it was found necessary to raise the budget from $33,500.00 to $35,150.00. Most of this increase can be attributed to salaries. To offset this additional expense, it will be necessary to increase our active or affiliate membership by about 20, this figure should be readily available.
The attached balance sheet shows the figures from which the Committee worked and also its conclusions. This budget was accepted by the Executive Committee at its meeting on December 3, 1965. Also approved was a recommendation of procedure regarding Executive salary increases as suggested by the Finance Committee.
Other recommendations of the Finance Committee that were approved by the Executive Committee are as follows:
1. The endorsement of The Professional Credit Protective Bu- reau to solicit the membership in regards to bill collecting.
29. To guarantee funds up to $10,000.00 in addition to funds already in hand for the installation of a Model Pharmacy in the School of Pharmacy. In addition a total fund of $22,- 000.00 to be set for solicitation for a complete installation of a Model Pharmacy as well as the B. Olive Cole Museum and an Antique Pharmacy in the Kelly Building. Total $40,000.00.
A recommendation that the Pension Fund be activated was tabled by the Executive Committee pending receipt of proposals
The Maryland Pharmacist 19
from legal counsel since this could affect future executive salary increases.
The Finance Committee held its second meeting on April 27, 1965 to consider a request for an executive salary increase. Again the BMPA was represented by the following guests: Charles E. Spigel- mire, Sam A. Goldstein and Irving I. Cohen. After reviewing all available information regarding membership, bank balance, etc., it was decided the procedure regarding executive salary increases estab- lished in its previous meeting was not feasible and so notified the Executive Committee at its next meeting. The Finance Committee recommended that such request should be considered at a later date and the Executive Committee concurred.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE Charles E. Spigelmire, Chairman
If we are to survive as a profession in this day of attack from all sides, we must unite all parts of the profession.
Retail pharmacists must recognize the fact that they can expect no help from any source other than themselves. Retail pharmacists must also realize that the wishes of the public must be recognized.
I can assure each and every one of you that nobody is more cognizant of this situation than the members of your Public Rela- tions Committee. This is why, day after day, week after week, and month after month, your Public Relations Committee tries to instill in the minds of the consumers that the independent pharmacist is truly their best neighbor.
It tries to create an image of you with the public that makes you feel proud to be a pharmacist. It strives to develop an air of permanency and stability for the pharmacy in the community.
We have used radio, television, newspapers and public appear- ances to impress the public with the pharmacist’s importance to their health and welfare.
In a sincere effort to help your customers obtain a comprehensive and intelligent explanation of the many health subjects they are interested in, your Association is again offering you a splendid opportunity to create a complete and diversified Health Information Center in your stores. Through the tireless efforts of our Secretary Nathan Gruz, we have been able to obtain a custom-made pamphlet rack which will hold about twenty different pamphlets. This beauti- ful rack may be obtained from the Association for $15.00. This compares with a pamphlet rack we formerly obtained from out of town and cost $25.00. I may also advise you this rack will be de- livered to your store.
A book containing a most complete list of health pamphlets may be obtained from the Maryland State Department of Health for $1.00. This book contains numerous pamphlets, prepared by the Maryland State Department of Health, which you may obtain to fill your Health Information Rack, and at the same time supply a source of information for which your customers will thank you many times, and express their appreciation by increased patronage in your store. This Health Information Center seems to have the mag- netic power to draw more people to your drug and prescription departments than any of the present forms of store advertising.
The success of the Health Information Center depends upon you. You must keep it filled with pamphlets. You must keep it neat and clean and you must place it in prominent spot in your store.
During the past year the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association participated in a joint cancer educational program with the Mary- land Division of the American Cancer Society. This program was motivated and the program developed by our dynamic Secretary
22 The Maryland Pharmacist
Nathan Gruz. This was the first joint program of this type any- where in the United States. This joint program of cancer education was produced with the primary objective of giving you, the inde- pendent pharmacist, another opportunity to bring more customers into your stores in quest of the pamphlets which were distributed to our stores throughout the year at two month intervals. Your Public Relations Committee feels this educational program served its purpose well because by pamphlets, radio and television, it directed many additional customers into your stores. We tried very hard with this cancer educational program to create a superb pro- fessional image for you, the professional pharmacist, and the phar- macy.
During the past year the members of your Public Relations Committee were asked to make numerous telephone calls in a sincere effort to arouse interest in this Association’s various activities and important events. The committee members made these telephone calls at their own expense and on their time off. Just two thoughts motivated their efforts. First to make our Association stronger, and secondly to make pharmacy a finer profession. Your Public Rela- tions Committee has always been most happy to cooperate with and assist any other committee of the Association which was presenting a special program during the year.
An outstanding illustration of this cooperation was the help your Public Relations Committee contributed during Poison Preven- tion Week. The basic thought for this activity was, “In Union There Is Strength.’ Your Public Relations Committee spent much time organizing a group of health organizations to participate in Poison Prevention Week. As a result we had the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association, the Baltimore Safety Council, the Baltimore City Health Depart- ment, and the Maryland Academy of Pediatrics donate their time. Their ideas and their advice helped us to conduct one of the most successful Poison Prevention Weeks since the inception of this public safety activity. Our good friends, the wholesalers, were most cooperative in distributing to our pharmacies a safety flyer which told your customers about the hazards of the careless handilng of aspirin.
In addition to this, there was important newspaper publicity which told your customers that you were sincerely interested in their health and welfare. Special radio and television porgrams during Poison Prevention Week continuously told the public that you were their friend in the corner pharmacy, who was always ready to aid them whenever they needed help. In a hard hitting effort to bring the intimate personal touch to Poison Prevention Week, members of your Public Relations Committee made personal appearances and talks before various groups. The title of their talk was “The Problem of Accidental Poisoning In The Home”. The men who made these talks were Jerome Fine, Bernard Lachman, Stephen Provenza, Nathan Gruz and your Chairman.
The Maryland Pharmacist 23
Sunday after Sunday during the past year at 10:30 P.M. our Association had the benefit of a fifteen minute radio broadcast over radio station W.C.A.O. in Baltimore. While the broadcast emanates in Baltimore, it is intended for the entire state of Mary- land. The program is identified by the theme “Hi Neighbor” and, as usual, is dedicated to you, the public’s ‘““‘Best Neighbor.’’ On these programs we try to discuss and explain every phase, every facet and every problem of pharmacy. It has always been the thinking of your Public Relations Committee that the more groups and organizations we could favor and recognize with radio publicity during the year, the wider and more appreciative would be the public recognition of the pharmacist. We felt this friendly gesture on our part would pay you the pharmacist valuable dividends. Our basic thinking was primarily that all of these groups have many followers and friends who would be most interested in patronizing the people that helped them in their hour of need. We will all agree that the most valuable form of publicity is the word of mouth variety. We felt that by recognizing these various groups and or- ganizations, a chain reaction of favorable publicity will be de- veloped for you, the pharmacist. I should like to explain to you how this form of cooperative publicity works, with a few examples.
All of you are fully aware that our senior citizens are keenly interested in the Medical Assistance for the Aged program. On one of our programs we had Dr. J. Wilfrid Davis, Assistant Com- missioner of Health for Medical Care, and Mr. Gordon Mouat discuss this program in great detail. They explained the M.A.A. program in great detail. They explained who was eligible for M.A.A. They illustrated what benefits were offered under the M.A.A. pro- gram. They gave a clear cut picture of the important part you the pharmacist play in this activity.
Have any of you ever seen a small child suffering with tetanus, commonly known as lockjaw? If you have, you would have been deeply impressed with our program on “Tetanus Prophylaxis.” On this program we presented Dr. Robert E. Martin, Chairman of the subcommittee on tetanus immunization of the Medical and Chirur- gical Faculty of the State of Maryland. Dr. Martin gave a brilliant dissertation on the disease tetanus, how to avoid it, how to treat it, and the drugs used to control it. Dr. Martin also told the radio audience of the drugs and serums used in the treatment of tetanus and that all of these could be obtained in your modern prescription departments.
One of the most interesting, human interest programs was one we did on alcoholism. On this program we presented Mr. Wilson Gibbs, Executive Director of the Baltimore Area Council on Alcoholism, Incorporated. Mr. Gibbs explained in great detail the magnificent work being done by his group to cure and control the alcoholic by education. He also informed our customers they could obtain the medicines needed in this rehabilitation program from you the pharmacist.
24 The Maryland Pharmacist
One of our finest radio programs during the year was one which explained a mystery disease. We call this disease a mystery because we do not know what causes it, nor do we have a cure for it. The disease is known as Multiple Sclerosis. Our guest on this program was Mr. Michael V. Lardner, Public Relations Chairman of the Maryland Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis So- ciety. Mr. Lardner explained in great detail the amount of research being done on Multiple Sclerosis. The methods of treatment used in helping those suffering with Multiple Sclerosis. He outlined the part his organization plays in trying to control Multiple Sclerosis. He also told our listeners that all of the medicines used by the Multiple Sclerosis victim could be obtained in any of our pharmacies.
A magnificent salute to pharmacy and you the pharmacist was presented on our radio program during Pharmacy Week. This program was developed with the sole purpose of informing your customers of the tremendous interest the pharmacist always has in their safety and welfare. It told in great detail the educational background of the pharmacist, the work and expense involved in opening a pharmacy, the laws and regulations surrounding the practice of pharmacy. All of these factors combined give the public a magnificent picture of you, their best neighbor.
Another strong link in sincere public relations was welded dur- ing Diabetes Detection Week. During this week your Public Rela- tions Committee was most cooperative and generous with Dr. A. AS Silver, the Chairman of Diabetes Detection Week activities. During this week we donated our radio and television time in a sincere effort to make this life saving project a tremendous success. We prepared timely, interesting and instructive material to advise our many viewers and listeners that the pharmacist was always their best neighbor when medication for the treatment of diabetes was needed. We presented a dynamic program during Diabetes Detection Week featuring Dr. A. A. Silver and Stephen Provenza who gave a graphic description of the importance of diabetes detection to the diabetic.
Time and space do not permit me to describe each and every radio program presented on Station W.C.A.O. during the past year, because there were 52 of them, but I can tell you this, that as long as I am your Chairman, these programs will always say that the phar- macist is, has been, and always will be the public’s ‘““Best Neighbor.”
For their cooperation and advice and assistance, I would like to thank Mr. Bryon Millenson, Manager of Station W.C.A.O., and Mr. Charles Purcell, Public Service Director of Station W.C.A.O.
During the past year, your Speakers Bureau continued to func- tion under the experienced and aggressive leadership of its Chair- man, Victor H. Morgenroth, Jr. This Bureau offers the members of our Association a splendid opportunity to go forth and spread the gospel of pharmacy to the public. The publicity potential of this Bureau is unlimited but, up to the present time, we have barely scratched the surface. In the past year the following men spoke be-
The Maryland Pharmacist 25
fore various groups, societies and organizations in an effort to get the pharmacist additional favorable recognition: Victor H. Morgen- roth, Jr., Stephen Provenza, Jerome Fine, Aaron Libowitz, Nathan Gruz, Bernard Lachman and your Chairman.
We spoke through Baltimore, in Arbutus, in Belair and in Havre de Grace. We gave generously of our time and talent so that the people would recognize you as their best neighbor, and with the thought that it is better to light one candle than to curse the dark- ness.
Our work during the past year was not that of any one indi- vidual but rather the culmination of a cooperative effort of many, many wonderful people. It has had its problems and difficulties but the magnificent spirit exhibited by this committee made the heavy burden seem light. The brilliant results obtained in our work were due to the untiring efforts of everyone who gave unstintingly of their time and ability whenever they were called upon to help. For his assistance and help a word of praise is due my Co-Chairman, Bernard Lachman. For his ideas and encouragement I want to par- ticularly commend our Secretary Nathan Gruz. For their kindness and cooperation, I sincerely thank Mrs. Lillian Boyd and Mrs. Geraldine Boan.
Your Public Relations Committee can tell the people all of the many good things about pharmacy, not boastfully but proudly. Be- cause pharmacy is a profession of which the whole world can justly be proud. The people do not know unless we tell them. We can tell them by our actions in serving them each day in our stores. We can tell them as we talk to them. There is no need to glorify phar- macy. The honest story is enough, but we must do the telling. For if we do not, who will?
REPORT OF PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE B. F. Allen, Chairman Delivered by Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr.
The first number of the Maryland Pharmacist was published in October, 1925 as the official organ of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association. The purpose of this monthly journal is to improve con- tact among members of the Association and provide a ready and dependable medium of expression for the pharmaceutical profession as a whole. The publication has now adequately served for 40 years not only the professional but also the commercial aspects of phar- macy.
In a large manner this publication should be considered as belonging to the practicing pharmacists and should be so utilized by them as to make it a real force in their work.
The Chairman of the Committee has been pursuing a very active writing program in this journal since 1958. During this period over sixty-seven articles devoted to the art and science of pharmacy and cosmetics, as well as several non-technical topics were prepared
26 The Maryland Pharmacist
for publication. In contrast to the usual information, many of the so-called scientific articles were intended to fill the pharmacist in on chemical materials that were not very familiar to most health pro- fessionals.
One of the best measures of the quality of our pharmaceutical literature is the request for reprints of the publications. Since 1958 such requests have been received from the States of Alabama, Cali- fornia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington, as well as from Czechoslovakia, England, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Nether- lands, Poland, Spain and Turkey.
During the past year, the journal has been conducted on as high a plane as possible. Care has been taken to report happenings of any interest to the membership of the State Association.
Also during this time one committee meeting was held in Octo- ber at the Kelly Memorial Building with only two members in at- tendance. At this meeting Mr. Gruz revealed that the advertising rates were raised twice in recent years and another increase is now necessary. He also stated that the journalistic contributions to the publication continue to be a problem. Several improvements in the journal were also suggested. However, when drastic changes are involved, this usually means the creation of new jobs and increased costs.
Although the committee met only once during the year, the Chairman maintained close contact with the editor and was con- sulted on numerous occasions.
The Chairman reviewed a great number of State Pharmacy Journals during the year and it is not too much to say that our publication ranks with the best in this classification.
The Publications Committee during the past year consisted of B. F. Allen, Chairman; Paul Reznek, Co-Chairman; B. Olive Cole; Samuel Morris; Aaron Kadish; Dennis B. Smith; and Herman Kling.
REPORT OF PHARMACY COMMITTEE Morton J. Schnaper, Chairman James P. Cragg, Jr., Co-Chairman
Delivered by Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr.
The committee considered the matter of hospital out-patient practices. Discussions were held with hospital pharmacists to in- crease understanding of mutual problems. Representatives of the Maryland Association of Hospital Pharmacists met with the com- mittee. The issue of hospital pharmacy practices which might put community pharmacies at a professional disadvantage were re- viewed. The matter of authorization on hospital prescriptions for the dispensing of generic drugs was also discussed.
It is hoped that further meetings on these issues can be held in
order to eliminate practices which are not in the best interest of the entire profession of pharmacy.
The Maryland Pharmacist 27
REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE AND DISASTER SURVIVAL COMMITTEE Robers S. Sinker, Chairman
The Civil Defense Committee for year 1964 was generally not active. There were reports by the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharma- ceutical Association that the Baltimore Fire Department was active in Civil Defense. It is recommended that a central committee, like the Maryland Pharmaceutical Committee, on a state wide basis, be a coordinating group, with local groups and governmental agencies, with the purpose of grouping all the activities.
REPORT OF THE AUDITING COMMITTEE Charles E. Spige!mire, Chairman
The Auditing Committee met at the Kelly Memorial Building on June 24, 1965 to examine the books of the Maryland Pharma- ceutical Association, consisting of the Association General Fund Ac- count, The Maryland Pharmacist Account, The Pension Fund Ac- count, The John F. Wannenwetsch Scholarship Fund Account and the Kelly Memorial Fund Account.
Those present were Secretary Nathan Gruz, Treasurer Morris Lindenbaum and your Chairman.
The audit prepared by Arthur Young & Company, Certified Public Accountants, was reviewed and discussed. All Association accounts were found to be in order according to the audit.
The contents of the Association safe deposit box in the Mer- cantile Safe Deposit and Trust Company were checked previously by Mr. Leonard Rohme, representing the firm of Arthur Young & Company, Secretary Nathan Gruz, and your Chairman. We found all the bonds and securities to be present as claimed in our auditor’s report.
REPORT OF ROBERT L. SWAIN SEMINAR COMMITTEE Irving 1. Cohen, Chairman
The 5th Robert L. Swain Pharmacy Seminar, co-sponsored by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, was held in the University of Mary- land Health Sciences Library Auditorium. The usual format of a morning session and afternoon session was followed. As in the past, it featured a top level scientific as well as educational program.
The featured speakers at the morning session were Dr. Arthur L. Haskins, Professor and Head of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, who spoke on “Chemical Control of Ovulation” and Dr. Louis Lassagna, John Hopkins University School of Medicine, whose topic was “The Impli- cations of Pharmaceutical Formulation for Clinical Medicine.”
The featured speakers at the afternoon session were Dr. Roger D. Reid, Biological Sciences Division, Office of Naval Research, on the subject of “Biology, the Science of the Future,” followed by Dr.
28 The Maryland Pharmacist
Rudolph H. Blythe, Director Pharmaceutical Research, Smith Kline & French Laboratories, speaking on “The Development of a new Medicinal Product.”
The attendance at both sessions numbered over 100 persons and while about the average attendance for past seminars, your chair- man feels that somehow we are not reaching the people for whom this invaluable Seminar is dedicated—the practicing pharmacist. The Seminar, as in the past, has featured the finest speakers on pharmaceutical and scientific subjects available. The Seminar should be a must for all pharmacists.
Last year I recommended the creation of a Pharmaceutical Honor Society—Maryland Academy of Pharmacy. I strongly urge the Executive Committee to act on this matter at an early date. All meetings, regional, convention, the Simon Solomon Pharmacy Semi- nar and the Swain Pharmacy Seminar to be part of an eligibility system. Points to be awarded for attendance and the attainment of sufficient points determines eligibility for membership in this Honor Society.
The chairman at this time wishes to thank Dr. Noel E. Foss, Dean of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, for his invaluable aid and assistance, as well as the other members of the Seminar Committee. Special thanks to Francis Balassone for coming up with an outstanding recommendation—Dr. Haskins of the Medi- cal School. To our Secretary, Nathan, my friend, many thanks for his cooperation and invaluable assistance in getting outstanding Seminar speakers as well as financial assistance for the Seminar.
REPORT OF INSURANCE & PENSION COMMITTEE
Norman J. Levin, Chairman
During the past year the American Health & Insurance Corpora- tion, which has the Association’s health, accident and major medical insurance coverage, announced it would be necessary to increase the premiums. Experience had shown that the amount paid out for claims were exceeding premiums received.
Premiums henceforth would be set up for different age and de- pendency groups rather than the same for all age groups.
This increase was accepted by the Executive Committee and announcements sent to all our members.
Since then, the Insurance Committee has been meeting with representatives of the Association insurance plan, as well as other insurance companies, to investigate the best possible plans avail- able to meet the needs of our membership.
If the committee’s investigation warrants, new proposals will be presented for group insurance in the future.

REPORT OF THE SIMON SOLOMON PHARMACY ECONOMICS SEMINAR COMMITTEE
Aaron M. Libowitz, Chairman
Delivered by Stephen J. Provenza
The Third Simon Solomon Pharmacy Economics Seminar was held Thursday, November 12, 1964 at the Warren House, Pikesville, Maryland. It was sponsored by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation in cooperation with the Small Business Administration and the NARD.
The purpose of the seminar is to bring to all in pharmacy the knowledge and experience of experts in various phases of merchan- dising and business management. The objective: Survival in today’s fiercely competitive situation by presenting ideas for profit that will be valuable to retailers in pharmacy.
The Committee met for ten months with many late meetings and with much correspondence to produce the 3rd Seminar. The committee and I, its Chairman, are proud to have produced such a fine program. The Economics Seminar was a fine example of the workshop approach to the economics of independent pharmacy.
Attendance reached 150 pharmacists in search of new vistas to strengthen the retail drug store, and the group heard an informed and well diversified team of pharmacy spokesmen deliver scores of practical and workable ideas.
Held each year to honor “one of Maryland’s and the nation’s pharmacy leaders while he is still alive,” the Simon Solomon Eco- nomics Seminar has become known for its pertinence, utility, and complete disregard for puffery and programs that offer little to busy pharmacists who are giving up a day out of their lives in hopes of learning more about their businesses.
Stripped of waste words but geared for action, the Seminar was divided into two parts—a broader approach to retailing, advertising and drug store marketing trends in the morning, and financing, and specific departmental drug store case history success stories by pharmacists themselves in the afternoon.
The meeting is an annual tribute to Maryland Pharmacy sage, Simon Solomon. ‘Si’ Solomon has served for 30 years as Fair Trade Chairman of his State Association and lists among his major achievements his activity in support of the enactment of Mary- land’s Fair Trade Legislation. He is also past president of the Balti- more Retail Druggists’ Association as well as past vice president of the N.A.R.D.
With strong overtones of the survival of small business ringing clearly, the session was moderated by M. R. (Dutch) Hoffmaster, Manager of the Baltimore Small Business Administration Office. A second spokesman, Assistant Deputy Administrator of the SBA, Jerry D. Worthy, Washington, D.C., traced the druggist’s loan capa- bilities during the afternoon program.
30 The Maryland Pharmacist
Helping the small and medium sized drug store to locate the successful survival formula, Dun and Bradstreet vice president Rich- ard Sanzo warned the druggist against “wearing too many hats eae inference was that frequently too few of these hats actually fit.
Advertising and public relations for the association pharmacist was the topic of Jack L. Levin, partner in a local advertising agency. He cited cooperative attempts within the Baltimore market being made by druggists who have pooled their advertising funds for one large page effort. “Don’t be afraid that one of your associates will benefit more from the advertising program than you will,” Mr. Levin admonished.
N.A.R.D. Merchandising Director Don B. Reynolds traced a few trends that have recently manifested themselves—trends that indi- cate the druggist to be one of the brightest spots in the retail mer- chandising future of our economy. “The growing weakness of the giant-scrambled stores, the new consumer emphasis being placed on value and utility along with price, and the rising number of phar- maceutical manufacturers entering and expanding within the OTC field, are all reasons that the pharmacy will be where the action is for the next few years,’ Mr. Reynolds said. “Many manufacturers who have previously confined themselves to the prescription depart- ment are beginning to look for a greater return on investments in sales travel, advertising, and research,” Mr. Reynolds added. “A direct OTC approach to the consumer in the categories of toiletries, proprietaries, and cosmetics will certainly manifest itself as real sales action for the pharmacist,’’ he concluded.
Creative selling and sales training was the theme of the panel discussion in the afternoon. Four area druggists gave first hand accounts of how they have been successful in establishing healthy franchises in various categories of non-pharmaceuticals.
A visitor from Virginia, Carl E. Bain told how he had built first aid supplies to a very respectable share of total drug store volume. Mr. Bain is president of a buying and advertising group that repre- sents the interests of nine druggists. Color slides helped dramatize the Bain report on first aid needs in his Richmond Pharmacy.
I. Earl Kerpelman, Salisbury, Maryland druggist, gave valuable insight to a somewhat foreign field to many in the room, Surgical Supports. “Get spec‘al training for the fitting of these supports,” Mr. Kerpelman warned, “and then build a department that will help everybody, doctors included, realize you are in the surgical support business for keeps.” Photos and financial figures indicated that the Salisbury pharmacist had built this department to an enviable and profitable position.
An appeal for the druggist to back private label vitamins was advanced by Marvin Freedenberg, Hyattsville, Maryland, Pharmacist. Pharmacists can sell vitamins. Mr. Freedenberg showed how the in- dependent pharmacy owner could increase their share of the vita- min market.
The Maryland Pharmacist 31
The fourth panelist was Mr. Victor H. Morgenroth, Jr., Past President of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, who showed how to ‘merchandise your Prescription Department” by manifesting a professional attitude. How to use prescription containers to create a professional attitude and the importance of service in competing with discounters.
We hope that the Seminar assisted you in making your store operation more effective in the constantly changing and highly competitive business world.
The stimulating exchange of thoughts and ideas, experiences and viewpoints is what makes this Seminar so worth the time and trouble to attend.
I wish to thank my Co-Chairman, Joseph H. Morton, and the members of my committee, Messrs. Donald O. Fedder, John A. Crozier, L. Scott Grauel, Joseph L. Muth, Martin Rochlin, James C. Davis, Maurice Wiener, Dominic Vicino, Mt. Rainier, Nicholas C. Lykos, Timonium, Anthony J. Petralia, Silver Spring, Gerald Y. Dechter, Silver Spring, I. Earl Kerpelman, Salisbury, Thomas J. Hayman, Salisbury, Harold P. Levin, Phillip P. Weiner, Robert F. ‘Tomsko, LaVale, and especially, Nathan I. Gruz, our Executive Sec- retary of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association and Joseph (Cohen, N.A.R.D.’s Associate Washington Representative and Di- rector of Professional Services for their patience, assistance and cooperation.
Thank you for being so kind to me.
REPORT OF GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE
Frank Block, Chairman
The Grievance Committee has been charged with developing procedures for considering practices which may constitute unpro- fessional or unethical conduct by pharmacists.
Conferences have been held to obtain necessary information in setting up grievance procedure. Legal counsel has been involved in this program to secure information and set up machinery which is both legally and professionally sound.
The completion of grievance procedure, we believe, will advance the interest of the profession and enable pharmacy to elminate un- desirable practices without the necessity for action by regulatory and prosecuting authorities.

The total number of war orphans enrolled the first semester in Baltimore was one.
The number of undergraduate girls enrolled in Baltimore was 10 and at College Park, 17.
The total number of students graduated in June 1965, was 25.
Of the 56 first year pre-professional students enrolled at Col- lege Park, 24 were from Baltimore City and Baltimore County, 1 from Anne Arundel County, 2 from Harford County, 11 from Prince George-Montgomery County, 2 from the Eastern Shore, 2 from Western Maryland, 1 from Southern Maryland, 6 from New Jersey, 2 from New York, 1 from Pennsylvania, 2 from the District of Co- lumbia, 1 from Virginia and 1 from Iran.
Recruitment of Students
This year completed the ninth successful year of activity for the Careers in Pharmacy Committee of the Alumni Association under the able leadership of Mr. H. Nelson Warfield. The personal interest and cooperation of members of the Alumni Association as well as Faculty Members of the School of Pharmacy is deeply ap- preciated. Visits made throughout the year resulted in contacts with about 350 students from 22 high schools, namely, Walter Johnson High in Kensington, College Night for six high schools in Prince Georges County held at Northwestern High in Bladensburg, Loyola High in Towson, all schools in the Cumberland Area held at the
The Maryland Pharmacist 33
Cumberland Country Club, Lansdowne Senior High, Baltimore City College, Pocomoke City High, Duval Senior High in Glendale, Dun- dalk Senior High, Hampstead Hill Junior High, Suitland High, and Hancock Senior High.
The highlight of this year was the Pharmacy Careers Exhibit at the Careers Opportunities Exposition held at the Baltimore Civic Center and sponsored by the Junior Association of Commerce. The exhibit held from April 5th to 9th was subsidized by the Alumni Association and the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, the lat- ter group supplying the background unit, the Alumni the needed placards and the School of Pharmacy faculty and students to set up and attend the booth. Dr. Benjamin F. Allen, as chairman, as- signed teams of three to man the booth at intervals from 9 a.m. to 10 pm. daily. The exhibit featured ‘‘action’” demonstration of tablet making and the preparation of aerosols and was extremely effective in attracting the attention and interest of students and visitors. Pharmacy career pamphlets and brochures were distributed. It is expected this exposition at the Civic Center will become an annual event, and we will again have an opportunity to participate. The experience gained in this year’s participation should make for a better and even more effective presentation and we will welcome the support of the Alumni Association and the Maryland Pharmaceu- tical Association in this endeavor.
An improvement in the presentation of our Career Programs this year was the purchase of a special slide projector facilitating the showing of a series of color slides prepared to supplement the film,” Time for Tomorrow,” and resulted in a distinct improvement of the presentation of our Career Programs this year.
Scholarships and Loans
The School of Pharmacy would again like to express its appre- ciation for the continued support of the donors of the respective scholarships, namely, Alumni Association of the School of Pharmacy, Noxzema Foundation, Read’s Drug Stores Foundation, Inc., Prince Georges-Montgomery County Pharmaceutical Association, A. M. Lichtenstein Scholarship, American Foundation for Pharmaceuti- cal Education, the William J. Lowry Memorial Scholarship and the Paulson-Krostar Scholarship.
The Alumni Association, the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation and Read’s Drug Stores Foundation, Inc., continued to pro- vide funds for scholarships for pre-professional pharmacy students at College Park and thus assist worthy students.
The University of Maryland continues to participate in the Na- tional Defense Education Loan Plan established by the Federal Government for worthy students in need of financial aid. Students in the School of Pharmacy shared in these loan funds.
Honors and Awards
The Annual University of Maryland Honors Convocation was held at College Park in November, 1964. Undergraduate students who had attained a grade point average of at least 3.5 during the
34 The Maryland Pharmacist
1964-65 academic year were accorded public recognition. Two School of Pharmacy students qualified for these honors.
One fourth year student was initiated into the University of Maryland Chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, the purpose of which is the recognition and encouragement of superior scholarship in all branches of learning.
Two fourth year students and one fifth year student were initiated into Rho Chi, the national honorary pharmaceutical so- ciety. The Omicron Chapter of Rho Chi Society held a convocation on April 20, 1965, at which time the current chapter officers and the members-elect were introduced. Dr. Jack Cooper, Director of Pharmacy Research and Development Division of Ciba Pharmaceu- tical Company, delivered the main address. The annual banquet of Omicron Chapter was held on April 27, 1965. Dr. Elmer Worthley, Chief of Natural Products Division, Experimental Medicine Di- vision, Edgewood Arsenal, was the honored guest and gave a very interesting address.
The School of Pharmacy again received recognition from a na- tional essay competition, known as the Lunsford Richardson Phar- macy Awards Program, the object of which is to encourage scien- tific and professional thinking on the part of students, both gradu- ate and undergraduate, in the interest of furthering pharmacy as «4 cardinal member of the American Health Team. Miss Lillian Darago, a Ph.D. candidate in our Department of Anatomy and Physiology won second prize for the Southern Region and was pre- sented with a certificate, a symbolic mortar and pestle, and a cash award.
School of Pharmacy Convocations
The first Fall Convocation of the School of Pharmacy was held on October 6th in the Health Sciences Library Auditorium, with Dr. Norman J. Doorenbos, advisor to the Fourth Year Class as chairman.
The program included presentation of academic and extra- curricular awards for 1963-64, announcing the scholarship recipients for 1964-65, giving recognition to the sponsors of scholarships and installation of the officers of the Student Government Association, officers of the Classes of 1965 and 1966, and officers of the Student Chapter of The American Pharmaceutical Association and Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association. Dr. Charles Manning, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Maryland, was the principal speaker.
The Annual Spring Convocation was held in the auditorium of the Health Sciences Library on June 1st. Dean Noel E. Foss pre- sided and Dr. Nicolas Zenker, advisor to the graduating class, pre- sented awards to the members of this class. The new president of the Student Government Alliance was installed, and the main ad- dress was delivered by Dr. George B. Griffenhagen, Director, Division of Communications, American Pharmaceutical Association.

Student Chapter, American Pharmaceutical Association - Maryland Pharmaceutical Association It is my pleasure now to report on a highly encouraging series of events. Under the leadership of Mr. William Edmondson, Pres- ident, fourth year student, the Student Chapter of the American
38 The Maryland Pharmacist
Pharmaceutical Association and Maryland Pharmaceutical Associ- ation has undertaken a continuing publicity campaign to bring pharmacy greater attention at the College Park campus. Feeling that there may be many students that never have investigated the benefits of pharmacy as a career, these students freely gave their time to do something about this. Although the program started late, they obtained the cooperation of the College Park Library, and had three very successful displays, one for Poison Prevention Week (and I believe that Mr. Gruz termed the display very original and effective), one on Aerosols, and one depicting Pharmacy as a Career.
The Student Chapter has also arranged to visit College Park at regular intervals to talk to any students that might be interested in entering pharmacy. We are delighted that the Student Chapter has taken an active interest in the future of pharmacy.
The Alumni-School of Pharmacy Joint Activities For Students
At the suggestion of the student body, the Alumni Association sponsored a barn dance instead of the usual Fall Frolic. This affair, held at the Randallstown Community Hall in October, was well at- tended and the students have indicated a desire for this type of a dance in the future.
The Alumni Association also sponsored a dance in February 1965 at the Emerald Gardens. All students and faculty were in- vited as guests of the Alumni Association.
The Anuual Banquet and Dance of the Alumni Association was held at the Emerald Gardens on June 3rd, honoring the 1965 graduating class.
Student Government Alliance
The Administration and Faculty of the School of Pharmacy appreciate the cooperation and leadership of Mr. Michael Walsh, and other officers for 1964-65. As president of this organization, Mr. Walsh initiated the revision and updating of the constitution, to be approved during 1965-66.
Robert L. Swain Seminar
The School of Pharmacy was pleased to be able to participate in the Fourth Robert Lee Swain Seminar held in March 1965, and which has been or will be described to you by the chairman of the committee.
Simon Solomon Pharmacy Economics Seminar
Pursuant to an invitation from the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, the fifth year class attended the Simon Solomon Pharmacy Economics Seminar on November 12, 1964. The program for the Seminar emphasized the commercial and economic aspects of pharmacy.
Conclusion
The School of Pharmacy, as well as I personally, wish to express our deepest thanks and appreciation for the excellent cooperation we have received this past year from Mr. Irving Cohen and the
The Maryland Pharmacist 39
other members of the Committee on the School of Pharmacy; the officers of the MPA and BMPA, and especially the Executive Sec- retary, Mr. Nathan I. Gruz; the officers of the Alumni Association for 1964-65 and especially the President, Dr. Robert J. Kokoski, and the Secretary, Dr. Frank J. Slama; and the Maryland Board of Pharmacy, and particularly its Secretary, Mr. Francis S. Balas- sone. Without the cooperation and assistance of all of you, it would have been most difficult for the School of Pharmacy, as well as me personally, to have carried out our responsibilities and duties.
Dean Foss added the following announcement:
“The late Miss Bertha Joseph, in her will provided the sum of $115,000 to the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, the interest of which will be used for scholarships in honor of her late brother, Gilbert Joseph, an alumnus of our school. This is the largest single scholarship donation received by the University in the last ten years, and should earn about $3,500 a year.”
During the session President Weiner called upon Grover C. Bowles, President, American Pharmaceutical Association, who brought the greetings of the A.Ph.A. and thanked the members for their efforts in behalf of the profession.
Others recognized were Dr. Noel E. Foss, Dean of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, George W. Thompson, Chief of Consumer Protection, Smith, Kline & French Laboratories, and Richard Weir of the same firm.
Following announcements, the First Session was adjourned at 4:30 P.M.

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Solomon Weiner
As my term as president of the Maryland Pharmaceutical As- sociation for 1964-65 draws to a close, I would like to review some of the highlights of the past year and to leave some recommenda- tions for the coming year.
I am grateful for the honor bestowed upon me to serve as the president of the state professional pharmaceutical organization. It has given me a chance to meet with pharmacists from the Eastern Shore to the mountains of Western Maryland.
Attending meetings, along with our secretary, of the Allegany- Garrett County Pharmaceutical Association, Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association, Eastern Shore Pharmaceutical Society, Prince Georges-Montgomery County Pharmaceutical Association, Tri-County Pharmaceutical Association and the Maryland Associa- tion of Hospital Pharmacists, has permitted me to see these groups at work and to exchange views with a cross-section of the members.
I think it is important to emphasize that it was the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association which was responsible for seeing that every area of the state has a local pharmaceutical organization, to which every pharmacist can belong. This organizational work was completed last year. We believe that in order to have pharmacy on a strong organizational foundation in Maryland, we must have strong, active local groups.
But, this foundation of strong local groups must be linked by reciprocal membership agreements with the state association—the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association—if we are to have an effective state-wide organization. We must arrive as soon as possible at a Situation where every pharmacist is carrying his full share of sup- port for pharmacy. Every pharmacist must be a member of both his local and state pharmaceutical organization. At present only the Eastern Shore Pharmaceutical Society requires membership in the M.P.A.
This year an amendment to our Constitution was adopted which established machinery to permit any of the groups within Maryland to enter into agreements with the M.P.A. for reciprocal membership.
We must set aside organizational rivalries or jealousies and im- aginary threats in order to go ahead with the job of furthering our programs through fully supported pharmaceutical organizations on state and local levels.
During the past year, your officers, executive committee, legal counsel and secretary devoted themselves wholeheartedly to many distressing problems and situations. Much of their time was given over to legislative and medical care matters.
The Maryland Pharmacist 4]
You will hear detailed reports at this Convention about these problems, but I wish to say that Jerome Mask and the Legislative Steering Committee worked long and hard to develop a legislative program. Because of many differences of opinion, both within and outside our ranks, our proposals to better pharmacy in the interest of public health failed. It is essential that all differences of opinion be ironed out within pharmacy when state-wide matters, such as legislation, are presented to public agencies or the public. Unfor- tunately there are some individuals in our ranks that take it upon themselves to disrupt a united approach. These destructive practices only help to defeat programs to advance pharmacy and are one reason why we are unable to make the progress we all want in meet- ing pharmacy’s problems in Maryland.
On the other hand, we were successful on a number of issues in the legislature.
The outstanding accomplishment, I believe, was the success of our efforts after seven years in obtaining additional funds for an increase in pharmacists’ fees in the Medical Care program.
This was the result, of course, of the teamwork of many officers and members of the M.P.A. and local associations along with our legal counsel and friends in the legislature, Health Department and other health professions, Walter Albrecht, Frank Balassone, Gordon Mouat, Victor Morgenroth, Morris Yaffe, Donald Fedder and Jerome Mask have aided greatly in our successful efforts.
Coordinating all these efforts and devoting all his possible energy and time to putting across the case of pharmacy to the Health De- partment, the Medical Society, the legislature and the Governor, was our Executive Secretary, Nathan Gruz. This campaign was a demon- stration of the necessity for having an effective state association and the need for every pharmacist to support his state society.
The results will benefit the pharmacists of the state and permit them to more effectively serve the state’s medical care program and the patients on the program.
We are already at work on medical care to present our case for the coming year.
The Association, of course, has been concerned with all problems affecting pharmacy. Some of these are: manufacturers’ distribution policies, hospital pharmacy practices, public and professional rela- tions.
Our professional relations programs under Stephen Provenza and our public relations programs under Charles Spigelmire and Bernard Lachman have added greatly to presenting a picture of our members, devotion to public health.
We have begun to work on the important matter of prescription prepayment plans for Maryland. During the coming years we must be alert to bring to the pharmacists of the state every possible de- velopment which will assist them in taking care of the pharma- ceutical needs of their communities.
We must continue our efforts to improve our pharmacy laws so that any unprofessional practices detrimental to public health will
42 The Maryland Pharmacist
be stopped. We must renew our efforts to obtain authority for the Board of Pharmacy to regulate the practice of pharmacy through necessary rules and regulations.
We must continue our work to see that pharmacists receive proper fees for medical care prescriptions.
These are just a few of the many problems we are working on. Progress has been made. With your continued support and I hope with the added support during the coming year of many more pharmacists joining their state professional organization I am sure we can make further progress.
I appreciate the privilege of representing you during the past year and wish to thank the officers and members for their confidence and support. I pledge to continue my efforts on behalf of the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association and the profession of pharmacy in the years to come.
Upon passage of an unanimous vote, the Presidential Address was accepted and Mr. Ogrinz returned the chair to Mr. Weiner.
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Nathan |. Gruz
This past year has been a year of vigorous, full activity for the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association—a year which has been a mixture of frustrations and progress. It was sad for us to note the loss of two outstanding leaders in pharmacy. Lloyd D. Richardson and Frank Black were past presidents who gave generously of themselves to pharmacy and left standards which are worthy of emulation. They were the kind of men that are hard to replace in any profession.
On the happy side, men from our ranks received high national recognition: Frank Balassone, Chief of the Division of Drug Control and Secretary of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy, was elected president of the National Association of the Board of Pharmacy. This month he was awarded the Honored Alumnus Award of the Alumni Association, University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. I was delighted to witness Frank receive both of these high honors. Also, for the record, it is gratifying to note that Dr. George Hager, an alumnus and former Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, was elected President of the American Association of Colleges of Phar- macy.
Dean Noel E. Foss was elected to the Executive Committee of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, and Alvin N. Geser was elected president of the National Council of State Phar- maceutical Association Executives.
I wish to thank them for the assistance and cooperation they have extended to me.
My deep appreciation goes to all the officers, executive commit- tee members, committee chairmen and members who have so gen- erously given their time and efforts to the Association. Many have
The Maryland Pharmacist 43
responded to my requests and I thank the great number of mem- bers collectively for fear of omitting anyone.
My responsibilities have taken me to countless meetings of the various groups in the pharmaceutical complex in Maryland. The Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association maintains an active program and, as its secretary, requires considerable attention. I have attended the conventions of the A.Ph.A., N.A.R.D. and the meetings of the National Council of State Pharmaceutical Associa- tion Executives. I have been appointed the latter’s Chairman of its Resolutions Committee and member of its Legislative Committee.
It has been a year which has reflected the weaknesses of our profession, but at the same time it has indicated the great potential which lies dormant, awaiting the time when pharmacists will lay aside minor matters, petty differences and personality conflicts. What an enormous waste of human resources which should be di- rected to the really vital issues-issues which will dominate phar- macy in the future.
First, I would like to review the highlights of a busy year and then present some comments and recommendations.
Dominating the year’s activities were the legislative and medical care programs. An extensive legislative program, long overdue, seek- ing to advance pharmacy professionally and to meet urgent problems was developed and introduced into the state legislature. The pro- posed legislation was aimed to define what the practice of phar- macy is, to differentiate a pharmacy from any other kind of estab- lishment and to enable the Board of Pharmacy to issue regulations regulating the practice of pharmacy.
These objectives so essential for the professional progress of pharmacy and for the enhancement of opportunity for the free practice of the profession of pharmacy were unfortunately opposed from within our ranks.
Aside from any new legislative proposals which may be present- ed at the next legislative session, it is imperative that existing leg- islation which is being violated be vigorously enforced.
All violators—whether large or small—must be prosecuted after due warning. The glaring examples of violations of the pharmacy law eoncerning advertising with reference to prescription pricing and professional superiority must be brought to a end if contempt for law enforcement agencies and for the law is to be halted.
On the positive side of the legislative ledger we were able to obtain beneficial exemptions for pharmacies in the new minimum wage law and favorable action on other bills as reported in the report of the Legislative Committee.
In the area of medical care, the many years of work by the Association finally bore fruit. The State Department of Health again recommended increases in pharmacy fees. AS a result, the Budget Bureau and Governor approved the first increase in fees since 1957 and the necessary additional funds of $194,000. were appropriated by the legislature.
44 The Maryland Pharmacist
We did not obtain all we strove for and have already begun our work for the 1966-67 year. Consideration is being given to the sponsorship of a survey to obtain additional facts to support recom- mendations on pharmacy services.
Just these two matters of such vital concern to the pharmacists of Maryland necessitated an enormous allocation of time and effort by the Association staff and legal counsel, as well as by the officers, committee members and many others.
One of the valuable by-products of these campaigns was the development of closer relations with the state medical society. This, of course, also involved the important issue of medical care for the aged. Many meetings and conferences were held with staff officials, congressmen, senators, and Governor Tawes. As a result, a leg- islative liaison committee has been established consisting of rep- resentatives of the health professions.
In the field of public relations, we have concluded a year of a cooperative program with the Maryland Division of the American Cancer Society to utilize community pharmacies as a source of authentic information. This was the first in the country and was augmented by television, radio and newspaper publicity.
The Robert Swain Model Pharmacy and B. Olive Cole Museum project, which has received a transfusion, appears to be moving ahead. Dr. Fitzgerald Dunning has accepted the Honorary Chair- manship of the Swain-Cole Fund with Simon Solomon as Co-Chair- man. Irving I. Cohen and Dean Foss are Chairman and Co-Chair- man of the committee with L. Scott Grauel as Contributions Com- mittee Chairman. We hope all pharmacists and those allied with pharmacy will respond generously when called upon.
The John F. Wannenwetsch Scholarship Fund of the M.P.A. thas been called upon to meet the demands for scholarship to the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy by an increasing num- ber of applicants. This fund is important to maintain a flow of qualified students to the school, for many need our assistance which we grant solely on the basis of financial need to those academically qualified.
We also took part along with the Alumni Association of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy in sponsoring an exhibit at the first Careers Opportunities Exposition at the Baltimore Civic Center. More than 50,000 high school students attended. The phar- macy exhibit featured displays and equipment on tablet-making and aerosols. The faculty and students as well as members of the Association should be commended for the time and effort devoted to encouraging young people to consider careers in pharmacy.
The Regional Meetings continue as opportunities for pharmacists to learn about major problems and participate in Association activities. The fall meeting was devoted to ‘Proposals for Reclassi- fication of Drugs” and the Spring meeting featured “Physician- Pharmacist Relations.”

The Association continues to provide many valuable services such aS money-saving group insurance plans. All members should investigate the advantages of our Health and Accident, major medical and Blue Cross Plans. Many members are learning of the value of the Association’s group life insurance plan called M.Ph.A. Life. The employment service is called upon almost daily by phar- macists—employer and employee alike.
This month the Association’s Professional Credit Protective Bureau was launched. This service to assist in the collection of delinquent accounts has already been put into operation by some of our members.
The seminars, both professional and economic, warrant greater support by the pharmacists of the state. The Swain and Simon Solomon seminars enable pharmacists to continue their pharma- ceutical education on a voluntary basis. It is hoped to implement in the coming year the recommendation to establish a Maryland Academy of Pharmacy. Membership would be based upon attendance at seminars, meetings and conventions.
The role of TAMPA—The Travelers Auxiliary of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association — is being re-evaluated. Conferences have been held with TAMPA representatives to achieve a more effective plan for the group and greater recognition of its valuable contribution to pharmacy. Certainly all pharmacists should recognize the TAMPA emblem and accord proper consideration to TAMPA members as they make their rounds.
Prescription pre-payment plans have been recognized by the Association as a major development on the horizon of pharma- ceutical practice. The inclusion of a representative of California Pharmaceutical Services on the convention program is indicative of our alertness to this problem. We intend to keep abreast of developments with the view of fostering the program best promised to meet the needs of the public and our profession in Maryland.
The urgent necessity to foster close relations between local pharmaceutical associations and the Maryland Pharmaceutical As- sociation has resulted in the adoption of a constitutional amend- ment to enable reciprocal membership agreements between the state and local groups. So far only the Eastern Shore Pharmaceutical Society requires membership in the state association.
This year a joint voluntary billing of the M.P.A. and the Balti- more Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association was used. There was some saving in effort, time and postage. So far the voluntary approach to joint dues has been only mildly successful.
It is obvious that a strong, unified profession of pharmacy requires full support of both the local and state societies. At present there are many unaffiliated pharmacists who feel justified to criti- cize and lament, but who have not assumed the responsibilities of a professional person to join and participate in their profession’s campaigns to achieve progress. In addition, there are those who
46 The Maryland Pharmacist
half-heartedly give lip service by supporting either their local or state groups and not both. The only hope for pharmacists to influence the course of events affecting the practice of pharmacy is through effective pharmaceutical organizations. The support given by phar- macists in the past and at present is not adequate to establish as- sociations which can perform all that pharmacists believe necessary. Sixty horsepower motors cannot provide the power for 400 horse- power requirements.
What are the tasks that require strong associations—associa- tions that can only result from pharmacists providing adequate funds and competent and sufficient staffs?
Pharmacy, in order to remain a free, independent profession, must assume vigorous leadership roles in every program affecting drugs and pharmaceutical services.
Governmental and group medical care programs are only in their infancy in this country.
If we do not have the plans, the creative ideas, the programs and farsighted, courageous leadership, then others will step in from outside the profession to an even greater extent than in the past.
In order for pharmacy to succeed in guiding its own destiny, the motivating factor must be the public interest underlying all our proposals. The lay public and government officials are too alert to permit self-interest alone to prevail.
In the coming months and years, we must in our enlightened self-interest, take the steps to assume leadership roles in medical care, mental health, all third party payment plans, and all programs affecting the health needs of our citizens.
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association has been working and will continue to work to see that all pharmaceutical services will be provided the public through the professional services of pharmacists with free choice of pharmacist to all in the interest of public health.
With the dedicated support of every pharmacist in the State, we can continue to fight for this objective and to advance steadily toward its realization.
This is a challenge - but also an opportunity. Will all of you step up and meet it?
The Secretary’s report was received with acclamation and un- animously accepted.
President Weiner called upon First Vice President Ogrinz to serve as moderator for the special program, “Prescription Prepay- ment Program—California Pharmaceutical Services’.

with hardly the raising of an eyebrow. The present day scientist feels, thinks and dreams that nothing borders on the impossible. In an era such as this, similar drastic changes are taking place in the various facets of our lives, whether we allude to education, religion, government, the health sciences or simple every day living.
AS we narrow the field to our profession, that of pharmacy, we find that a comparable revolution has been taking place and our greatest concern must be that pharmaceutical leadership is at the helm to steer its destiny. There have been many probes into the adjusting of the economic forces that are presenting themselves as problems, but solutions have been evasive. Public health must be of prime importance. Pharmaceutical care must be given to all who need it. Governmental health programs with their tremendous popu- larity must be absorbed, and with ali this the community pharmacist must himself be able to achieve economic stability.
The policy making body of your organization is alertly aware of these conditions and this morning’s program has been arranged for your exploratory listening and ultimate decision. Because of the im- pact this decision will have on the future of Maryland pharmacy, and because pharmacists cannot make intelligent decisions affecting their future unless they are informed, this educational indoctrination was deemed necessary. The program to which I refer and one which may go a long way to solving a major portion of our economic ills is a prescription pre-payment plan. One of these plans which will be introduced today is the California prescription pre-payment plan. This plan is unique in that it has been cleared by the Justice Depart- ment, a problem that has plagued many attempts at this pre-payment concept.
Senator Hart of Michigan, in a speech prepared for delivery at the A.Ph.A. Convention, said, and I quote, “Prepaid pharmaceutical services certainly represent a response to a great need and the efforts of the Association benefit both the consumer and pharmacist. I was delighted to hear that the Justice Department had given clearance to the California plan. This indicates that plans can be worked out which do not conflict with anti-trust laws. The objectives have both my support and sympathy”.
The pharmacist who will present this plan to you is one of the gentlemen who nurtured it to its fruition. Benjamin J. Kingwell is a practicing pharmacist of Arcadia, California, and immediate Past President of the California Pharmaceutical Association.
The presentation was made by Benjamin F. Kingwell, Imme- diate Past President, California Pharmaceutical Association.
Mr. Kingwell’s address was published in the August 1965 issue of The Maryland Pharmacist.

We have examined the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities resulting from the cash transactions of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association at May 31, 1965 and the related state- ments of cash received from and expenses paid for operations for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing pro- cedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the statements mentioned above present fairly the assets and liabilities resulting from the cash transactions of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association at May 31, 1965 and its cash received and expenses paid for the year then ended on the cash basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MARYLAND BOARD OF PHARMACY
1964 1965
In compliance with the provisions as set forth in Section 258 of Article 43 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, this report is submitted to His Excellency J. Millard Tawes, Governor of Mary- land, and to the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association. This is the sixty-second report to the Governor of the State and the fifty-second to the Association. The report covers the activities of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1965.
Personnel
During the year the Board held eleven meetings, six of which were held at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Mary-. land, for the purpose of conducting examinations for registration of pharmacists.
At its first meeting the Board reorganized and elected Mr. A. J. Ogrinz, Jr., President and Mr. F. S. Balassone, Secretary-Treasurer. The other members of the Board were: Messrs. Arthur C. Harbaugh, Norman J. Levin and Howard L. Gordy.
At the annual meeting of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation held at the Shelburne Hotel, Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 29 and 30, and July 1 and 2, 1964, the Nominating Committee submitted the following names which were later submitted to the Governor as possible successors for Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr. whose term would expire on April 30, 1965:
Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr. Frank Block Irving I. Cohen
On April 30, 1965, Governor Tawes appointed Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr. a member of the Board for a term of five years, begin- ning May 1, 1965.
At the meeting of July 2, 1964, the Board elected Simon Solo- mon as Honorary President of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy.
Examination
The Board conducted two examinations for registration of phar- macists during the fiscal year. They were held at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Maryland on October 28, 29, and 30, 1964 and on June 21, 22, and 23, 1965.
There were eight applicants for the full Board of October. Six passed both the theoretical and practical examination; one failed the examination and one candidate became ill and was not able to complete the examination.
Having previously passed the theoretical portion of the exami- nation, three candidates took the practical examination in October. All of these candidates passed and were subsequently registered.
The Maryland Pharmacist 53
In order to meet the Board’s requirements for reciprocal reg- istration, three candidates took the practical examination in Octo- ber. They were granted registration after passing the examination.
In June 3 candidates were eligible to take the full Board. Of these 1 passed and was subsequently registered, 2 failed this ex- amination.
1 candidate who had previously passed the theoretical portion of the examination took the practical examination, which he passed and was granted registration.
41 candidates took only the theoretical portion of the examina- tion. Of these 36 passed and 5 failed. One applicant for reciprocity took the practical portion of the examination because he had not met all of Maryland’s requirements regarding practical experience. This applicant passed and was granted registration by reciprocity.
The subjects assigned at both the October, 1964 and the June, 1965 examinations were as follows:

54 The Maryland Pharmacist
As in the past many pharmacists applied for reciprocal regis- tration in Maryland in order to accept positions with their em- ployers who are opening stores in Maryland.
Those applicants who did not meet our requirements concern- ing practical experience prior to registration and the requirement of at least one full year’s active practice of their profession in the state in which they are registered, were advised that they must take our practical examination in order to verify their qualifications. Three applicants for reciprocal registration took our practical ex- amination in October, 1964. After passing the examination these candidates were granted registration by reciprocity. One applicant took the practical examination in June, 1965.
In all cases an applicant for reciprocal registration must appear for a personal interview. The entire Board must act on whether or not to grant registration to such applicants, who must sign an agreement to comply with Maryland’s laws pertaining to drugs and pharmacy.

Certificate of Registration Renewals
The Board has issued 2,548 renewal certificates for the 1965- 1966 biennial re-registration period. During the 1963-1964 re-regis- tration period 2,326 renewal certificates were issued, showing an increase of 222 registrants. During the 1965 fiscal year we issued 18 renewal certificates to registered pharmacists for all three renewal periods (1961-1962, 1963-1964 and 1965-1966) who had not yet learned of this law which became effective June, 1961.
Manufacturers’ Permits
Permits to manufacture drugs, medicines, toilet articles, denti- frices or cosmetics during 1965 were issued to 65 firms, 50 of which were “limited’’ permits. An applicant applying for a permit for a newly established company is required to appear before the Board and to furnish all information the Board considers pertinent to the conducting of such operation.
Dangerous Drug Distributors’ Permits The Board issued 166 permits to sell, distribute, give or in any
way dispose of dangerous drugs during 1965. It is not necessary for a subsidiary or subsidiaries of a company to have a separate permit, as they are covered under the permit held by the parent company.
Advertising
The following letter with respect to advertising was sent to all pharmacies in the state of Maryland.
“Dear Pharmacist:
Since the passage of House Bill 371 which became effective June 1, 1963, relating generally to the practice of Pharmacy and more specifically to grounds for reprimand, suspension or revoca- tion of Pharmacists licenses, there has been an ever increasing violation of the provision as it relates to advertising, which is quoted below:
Article 43 Section 266A (4)
“(iy) The advertising to the public by any means, in any form or through any media, the prices for prescriptions, dangerous or non-proprietary drugs, or fees for services relating thereto or any reference to the price of said drugs or prescriptions whether specifically or as a percentile of prevailing prices, or by the use of the terms “cut rate’, “discount”, “bargain” or terms of similar connotation.
(vy) The advertising or claiming to the public of professional superiority in the compounding or filling of prescriptions or in any manner IMPLYING professional superiority which may undermine public confidence in the ability, character and integrity of other pharmacists.”
Because of the voluminous amount of the variety of violations, it became necessary that several advertisements be submitted to the
The Maryland Pharmacist 59
State Law Department and an interpretation of the above section was requested. The following conclusion from an opinion of the Attorney General is quoted below for your information and for guidance.
“After reviewing the advertisements in question and the aforementioned provisions of the law relating thereto, we are of the opinion that they come within its purview. However, it is the Board’s function to make the final determination in each instance. The statute gives the Board broad authority in this area and defines very clearly what constitutes grossly unprofes- sional conduct relating to advertising. In cases such as this, the Board must be guided primarily by the language of the statute. In addition to this, the object of the law and the evils or mischief sought to be remedied by it must also be considered, so that the legislative intent in passing the law can be ascertained. Obviously, the law was passed as a public health measure and as such it was designed to protect the public from the dangers incident to the type of advertising out- lined in and forbidden by it.”
It behooves every pharmacist and pharmacy owner to review critically all advertisements be it on radio, television, newspaper, signs, labels, bags, etc., so that they do not violate the above provisions and that compliance is met not only with the letter of the law but also the intent and spirit of the law.
Henceforth, violations of the above sections will be enforced
strictly. Very truly yours,
F. S. Balassone, Secretary
MARYLAND BOARD OF PHARMACY”

Legislation
There were two Bills introduced into the Legislature that would have affected the Board. They were House Bill No. 1026 and House Bill No. 1027, introduced by Delegate Kosakowski.
House Bill No. 1027 would have amended Section 272 of Article 43 and added Section 272A which would have prohibited the sale of drugs, medicines, or medicinal preparations by certain itinerant vendors.
Section 272A. Itinerant Vendors.
No itinerant or travelling vendor, hawker or peddler shall sell, distribute, vend or otherwise dispose of any drugs, medi- cine or pharmaceutical or medicinal preparation in this State. The term itinerant or travelling vendor, hawker or peddler shall mean any person whose business involves the passing from house to house or soliciting people in the public streets or public places or by using any device for attracting crowds and therewith recommending their wares and offering them for sale.
This Bill did not become law.
House Bill No. 1026 would have provided the following:
1. Definition of the Practice of Pharmacy.
2. A clearer definition of the Pharmacy the establishment or institution.
3. A pharmacy shall (a) be independent physically from any other profession
or business.
(b) devote a majority of its overall public area to prescription and allied health and professional prod- ucts and services.
4. The Board may promulgate rules and regulations in accordance with the provisions of Article 41, Sections 244 to 265, inclusive, known as the Administrative Procedure ACU:
5. Any aggrieved party or the Board may appeal to the Court of Appeals of Maryland any adverse decision of any Circuit Court of any County or any Court of Balti- more City.
This Bill did not become law.
Cooperative Activities
The Board maintained membership in the National Associatioa of Boards of Pharmacy. There were two annual meetings of the Association during the 1965 Fiscal Year, which were held in con- junction with the annual meetings of the American Pharmaceutical Association. The meetings were held on August 2-7, 1964 in New York City, New York and on March 26- April 2, 1965 in Detroit,

Irving I. Cohen, Chairman of the Swain Model Pharmacy- Cole Museum Committee, announced that drawings and plans for the two projects were on display.
President Weiner announced the schedule for the afternoon and evening. He stated a special Executive Committee meeting would be held immediately following to review the California ‘‘Paid Prescriptions” Plan with Mr. Kingwell.
Adjournment was at 1:00 P.M.
THIRD SESSION Wednesday, June 30
The Third Session was called to order by President Weiner at 10:15 A.M., who turned the gavel over to First Vice President Ogrinz.
Mr. Ogrinz introduced George W. Thomson, Jr., Chief of Con- sumer Production, Smith, Kline & French Laboratories, who presented a special report, “The Facts about Counterfeit Drug.” Mr. Ogrinz pointed out the valuable services to the profession which Mr. Thom- son’s department made available.
The full text of Mr. Thomson’s address will be published in the December 1965 issue of the Maryland Pharmacist. A brief extract of his presentation follows:
Vigilant pharmacists are the best defense against the growing threat of counterfeit drugs. To avoid trouble with counterfeit pro- ducts, pharmacists should follow this cardinal rule:
“Know your suppliers and deal only with reputable, local suppliers you know.” Describing drug counterfeiting as a problem of “large proportions,’ Thomson said the counterfeiters pick well- known, high volume, trademarked drugs and make inferior copies. It’s not unusual, he said, to find counterfeit drug products which are only 50 per cent of the strength claimed on the label. Furthermore, he said, some counterfeits are overstrength and some actually are contaminated.
“Quality control is a concept unknown in counterfeiting circles. Manufacturing is done in garages, in machine shops, in cellars—- wherever a tableting or capsule-filling machine can be set up in a hurry and moved rapidly to avoid detection.”
Distribution of counterfeit drugs most commonly is through unscrupulous repackagers, crooked distributors posing as reputable mail order wholesalers and store-to-store salesmen.
Actions a pharmacist can take to avoid being duped by passers of counterfeit drugs are:
—Buy drugs only in original, sealed containers and don’t buy a small supply of a drug which the seller claims was taken from a “big-sized original bottle.”
64 The Maryland Pharmacist
—Beware of any person who offers to sell a drug at an un- reasonably low price claiming that it is close-out or distress merch- andise. Always get invoices from suppliers.
—Report to the state or local department of health, the pharmacy board, the local Food and Drug Administration office and the manu- facturer the name of any person who offers to buy empty original manufacturers’ containers, particularly of fast-moving and expensive drugs, of large sizes such as 500s and 1000s.
—lf you encounter a suspected counterfeit drug, get the name of the seller and other information, such as a car license number and description, and report the information immediately.
Federal government officials are increasingly concerned with the public health threat posed by drug counterfeiting, Thomson said. He noted that a bill containing provisions to strengthen controls over drug counterfeiting has passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It is now before the House again for consideration of amendments.
Professional organizations also are trying to make counterfeiting more difficult, Thomson said. The National Pharmaceutical Council has developed a model law on this subject which it hopes state pharmaceutical organizations will urge state legislators to adopt.
“Efforts by government and professional organizations certainly will help. However, if counterfeiting is to be stopped, it must ulti- mately be stopped in the nation’s pharmacies,” he declared.
A question and answer period then followed.
First Vice President Ogrinz then called upon Second Vice Presi- dent Morris R. Yaffe to serve as moderator for the panel presentation: “How to emphasize Successfully Your Prescription Practice—Three Viewpoints.”
Mr. Yaffe introduced the panel as follows:
Today we are here to hear a panel presentation by the eminent fellows in their respective fields in the practice of the art of phar- macy. Hhey will endeavor to bring to you the most modern and efficient means by which they in their own fields have successfully emphasized their prescription department.
Since time immemorial the pharmacist has tried to further his knowledge and skills in the pursuit of his profession. The different methods and moods of the practice of pharmacy dates back in our country to the pre-revolutionary days. History tells us that Benjamin Franklin operated a drug store which featured besides his drugs and potions the latest imports of tea, silks, cottons and wares for the ladies and gentlemen, and he so advertised in his journal. So you see the modern drug stores as we know them today are just a refinement of the old.
History also tells us that in this same era the arts and sciences of the apothecary was practiced in the hospital that was sponsored
The Maryland Pharmacist 65
and built by Benjamin Franklin who procured his pharmacist from the practicing apothecary in Philadelphia. So here we have the hospital pharmacist and the apothecary dating back to this time. At the same time there were community drug stores in which the pharmacist was the community sage and, besides dispensing his drugs and potions, he dispensed advice. Personal problems were solved by him and also community problems given to him.
Since those days the pharmacist has endeavored to improve his lot within the health team of our country, following the lives of his predecessors, but also improvising and emphasizing the pre- scription department.
We will now have an opportunity to hear from our three panelists on the subject of “How to Successfully Emphasize Your Prescription Practice”’—Three Viewpoints.
“HOW TO EMPHASIZE SUCCESSFULLY YOUR PRESCRIPTION PRACTICE— THE APOTHECARY"
James E. Delahanty, Community Pharmacist, Trenton, New Jersey
To explain and clarify my particular position on this panel, I want to say thalt I started out in 1937 with the typical community type pharmacy. It was then 40’ long, 20’ wide. Since that time it has gradually developed into what it is now. There have been a succession of changes, the first of which occurred in 1942 when TI closed my soda fountain. This, of course, was part of the original area. Closing the soda fountain was a necessity, but was a most profitable one because I first put shelves on top of the soda foun- tain and found I made more money selling writing paper and the various items I did put up on the shelves. It, of course, eliminated the necessity for help and all the various headaches that go with a fountain.
After coming back from the service in 1945, I sold the fountain. They were scarce then, and incidentally, I got more money than I paid for it. I was very happy about that because the new enlarged area allowed me better display space for a professional type phar- macy. We continued on then from 1945 and in 1950 I completely remodeled the whole store. Remodeling the store, and may I say I have made successive remodelings, has been rewarding to me. This change has always proven of interest to the patrons of the store.
The first major remodeling I had, and we were covered with tarpaulins, saw horses, carpenters running all over the place, proved to be the best business day financially I had had that year. I do not know, but it is a strange thing that people will insist on coming in under adverse circumstances, pushing tarpaulins aside, maybe getting hit with a board, but they want to come in to see what is going on and they do spend money, for which I was deeply appre- ciative. In 1955 we completed remodeling with new fixtures which, with our enlarged store, certainly made for a wider area, but all
66 The Maryland Pharmacist
the time we were progressing toward that professional look that we hoped to achieve.
In 1964 we took a radical departure from the particular con- ventional type store. I want to dwell on that a little bit later but I want to tell you first about some of the professional promotions thait we have had. In these professional promotions, we, of course, enjoy a fairly good physician business. We send out a newsletter to physicians once a month. This, as a member of the American College of Apothecaries, is available to all members. There is a well written set of clinical abstracts with one humorous anecdote ait the end. It has found very good acceptance in our area. We send it particularly to the doctors that we are trying to court — 0b to the dispensers and not to the elderly who do not do much busi- ness. This has proved very profitable to us.
We carry also the usual things that a pharmiacy encouraging doctors patronage would — injectibles, biologicals. We have found this most rewarding and recently we have gone into laboratory supplies for diagnostics, most of which we make ourselves. We ean’t make them all — we don’t have quality control equipment — that would be expensive. Some of the things we buy and resell, but many of the things we make. This is a professional area which I urge you to get into, if there is a market in your particular area.
As far as the patients are concerned, we use things that are available to you readily — the capsule magazine. This is something we send out as a stuffer to go into our bags, which are incidentally marked American College of Apothecaries. I am a member of that and I am very proud of it. I am the only one in my area and I am advertising it to the nth degree. We put these stuffers into patrons’ packages. There has been some argument, and some people will say, “why do you advertise to patrons you already have?” Well, personally my feeling is that I like to keep them sold — I like to reassure people that their choice of a pharmacist has been a good one.
On that area, for a good many years, as far as customer rela- tions are concerned, being active in the Mercer County Associaltion, I have felt that a pharmacist should be a member of every voluntary health group; and may I say that in fighting for this particular situation, I have managed myself to land on three of the boards. It is more than one man should do, but the opportunity was made available to me and rather than lose the spots, I grabbed them and hope in time to turn tthem over to some other pharmacist in our county organization. These have been rewarding. It not only gives you a spot on the health team, it gives you a dignity, but may I say it gives you rewarding contacts, which are sometimes turned into customers and patrons and are profitable. I feel that the time I have spent there is well spent. I am on the Tuberculosis and Health League; I am on the Heart Association; I am a director of the mental health organization in Mercer County. This is an ap- pointment by the Board of Free Holders which we have in the
The Maryland Pharmacist 67
State of New Jersey. These have all been rewarding and I urge them on all pharmacists.
Another area in which we try to practice some professionalism is that we keep a record of every customer’s prescription purchases. We list them by families — we list the individual names — we list the drug and we list, of course, the doctor’s number, etc. It is a valuable aid in this way: we send it out at the end of the year and people use it for income taxes. I know there are various schemes. This is one we have devised ourselves and we have so arranged it that while a pharmacist must make the notations, a typist can transfer to the form we send out. We have a little System, made by the Moore Business Forms, in which the carbon is elimi- nated in the middle and in that little area there is a message “Thank you for your prescription patronage. This is the amount of business you did with us this year. You may use it for income tax purposes.” This has proved very helpful to us. This also is a help in our relationship with the family inasmuch as we can our- selves say, “This is the prescription you had’. To the doctor who calls “What has this patient been taking?”, we can tell the doctor immediately, because it is all on that one page. Any allergies that are reported to us, of course, we list on the page. We list the name, address, members of the family and the phone number. This has proved very profitable to us.
One of the most interesting things we have done in New Jersey for a good many years is the sponsorship in the legislature of what we call “drug safety bills”. They get labeled “aspirin bills’, but we have something good in mind, we think. We have promised the legislature a particular area in which only professionalism will be exercised and practiced. We thought about this for quite some time in our particular store and we decided to implement it. Now with a minimum of expense we rearranged our area so that adjacent to the prescription department we now have a particular area that is cut off by two gondolas. There are two waiting chairs there and immediately opposite that area is a rack for free professional information pamphlets. This has been a wonderful thing for us and people themselves come in to pick up various pamphlets and some- times call us on the phone and ask us to please insert a couple more of a particular pamphlet in their package when they are getting it delivered. These are available free, of course, from your Heart Association or from your Tuberculosis Association in your particular area.
In this particular area of the pharmacy, only a pharmacist functions. He is there whenever a patron comes in. We have taken the step that we had promised the Legislature to do. We have done this in this particular store and may I say it has been reward- ing. We know for a fact that our sales in this particular area have increased 13%. You know there is actually more than has been said. There is more to the drug business than just profit, if you get the rewarding appreciation, the rewarding look that a patron will give you if you sell, for example, a thermometer. We all know
68 The Maryland Pharmacist
this, and how in the conventional type drug store the girl handed it out and it has been nice, and so you ring up the money and ‘that is it. But when we are out there and we say “Mrs., this is a Becton-Dickinson thermometer. This has been aged for a couple of years and there is a Government certification. You can read that and you can understand this was not made in a foreign country. It was made right here by American workers with Amer- ican skills’. Then you say, “Mrs., this gooseneck in here is not a flaw in the thermometer. This is the most important part of the thermometer because you have to have that gooseneck, otherwise you could not take a reading”. Then, of course, the usual things — “wash with warm water, not hot water”, and the care of it and putting it in the case that is provided for it. People just stand there in amazement. They are just so happy that they have received a professional service.
Another area is the nebulizer compared to an atomizer. Un- questionably you have all experienced this. People will buy a nebulizer and come back and say nothing comes out. Under the light you show them a little vapor and explain that it is something like a cloud. It is not like rain—it is like a cloud, a mist, or fog. These things are most appreciated by the consumer. They remark about them and may I say that when you are offering that service you are rendering a professional service.
The rewards are not there necessarily in dollars and cents, but the rewards are this, that you are offering professional service and you are giving them something they can never find at a super- market or other type of drug store —you are giving them you — and you never find that in a supermarket.
The second panelist, Norman Shack, Pharmaceutical Editor, Chain Store Age, presented the viewpoint of the chain drug store. His talk was published in the September 1965 issue of the Maryland Pharmacist.
Morton Schanper, pharmacist of Bethesda, Maryland, was the final panelist. His presentation from the viewpoint of the community pharmacist was printed in the August 1965 issue of the Maryland Pharmacist.
A question and answer period followed after the panel presenta- tion.
The Third Session was arjourned at 12:45 P.M.
FOURTH SESSION Thursday, July |
The Fourth and Final Session of the Convention was called to order at 10:25 A.M. in the Garden Lounge by President Weiner. He announced the memorial service for the pharmacists who had died since the previous convention.

Anthony G. Padussis than offered the following memorial prayer:
Almighty Father, Author of life and death, we are met here at this moment to direct our hearts to Thee and to express our love for those who have been laid to eternal rest. Memories crowd upon us as we recall those who have gone before, who even in death are a benediction unto us. The lesson of our measured years is forcibly brought home to us, and the determination is strengthened within us to hasten the fulfillment of our resolution to live nobly in the spirit of our beloved dead, and to fulfill the obligations which we have ac- cepted from their hands. At this moment, we seek renewal of strength for the struggles of life and increased courage to meet our tasks.
We realize our frailty even as we know that from Thee cometh strength. These silent sentinels call us back to Thee and to the recog- nition of our duty. They rouse us to do good while our brief day lasts, to bring relief to the distressed, sunshine where darkness now prevails, hope to those in despair and support for every worthy under- taking for human welfare.
With sorrowing hearts, we call to mind at this solemn hour our beloved ones whom death has removed from our midst. We thank Thee for the years which Thou didst grant unto them, years in which they brought help, joy and comfort to many a heart. Thou in Thy love gavest them unto us and Thou in Thy wisdom hast taken them from us.
We think of the time when they still moved among us, shared in our labors and bestowed their love and friendship upon us. Though slumbering in their eternal rest, they live in our hearts as lasting sources of inspiration leading us to good deeds and noble thoughts. In gratitude for all the blessings they brought to us, and to humanity, we dedicate ourselves anew to the sacred tasks they bequeathed unto us. Extend Thy healing balm unto the bereaved and grant eternal rest and peace to the souls which we remember now with tenderness and compassion. Amen.

RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it strongly protest the current practice of the Armed Forces of the United States to offer a four months training program for technicians who will later be used by the Armed Forces for the compounding and dispensing of drugs for the personnel in the Armed Forces since the Armed Forces person- nel are entitled to the same kind of expert service provided for the distribution of drugs by licensed pharmacists in the several states of the United States, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the appropriate authorities.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that appropriate representatives of the Association meet with representatives of the Maryland Associ- ation of Hospital Pharmacists to continue to review the practice and problems associated with the distribution of drug products and prescriptions by some hospitals to persons who are not patients of the hospital or may have been discharged from the hospital, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a report of this joint com- mittee be brought to the attention of the Executive Committee of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association for further consideration and action, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Maryland Association of Hospital Pharmacists and the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists.
WHEREAS, a number of pharmaceutical manufacturers are employing a “direct selling” policy under which better prices and terms are offered to those pharmacists who can purchase directly from the manufacturer than to those who choose to, or are forced to, purchase the same lines through their drug wholesaler, and,
WHEREAS, those policies work undue hardships on the ma- jority of independent retail pharmacists as well as on their prin- cipal sources of supply, the drug wholesalers, and,
WHEREAS, service to the consumer or patient may be unduly delayed or completely disrupted, thereby, to the detriment of the general health and well being of the public,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association respectfully requests a re-appraisal of all such policies and a re-evaluation of the impact such policies may
The Maryland Pharmacist 73
have upon the public interest, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers’ Association, Federal Wholesale Druggists’ Association, National Wholesale Druggists’ Association, and the local drug wholesalers.
WHEREAS, for the best interprofessional relationship between the pharmacist and the physician the distribution of prescription drugs should be through a pharmacy, and
WHEREAS, it has been reported that some pharmaceutical manufacturers are encouraging physicians to dispense oral dosage forms of relatively new birth control preparations and are distribut- ing and billing these preparations directly to the physician, and in some instances at a cost less than that available to the community pharmacy,
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion, in annual convention assembled, that it condemns this method of distribution and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the home offices of the companies involved, and to the Pharma- ceutical Manufacturers’ Association.
WHEREAS, practicing pharmacists in Maryland experience extreme difficulty, and sometimes find it impossible, to read pre- scriptions written by medically trained personnel, and
WHEREAS, this illegibility frequently includes the name of the prescriber, thus delaying indefinitely the filling of the prescription for the patient, and,
WHEREAS, many if not most of these medical practitioners are associated with hospitals but cannot be identified by the hospi- tal telephone operator or in many cases even by the office of the director of the hospital, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion, in annual convention assembled, that it request the Maryland Hospital Council, as well as each individual hospital, to require each of its staff of medically trained personnel to include their printed name under the signature of the prescription, or provide some other marking that will facilitate the identification of the prescriber to permit the practicing pharmacist to reach the prescriber for clayri- fication of the prescription.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it hereby records its grief and sense of loss in the death of Dr. Lloyd N. Richardson, president of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association in 1940, Honorary President in 1955, member of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy 1924 to 1944, member of the Maryland State Board of Health from 1944 to 1963, and who over a long period of years was deeply de- voted to the dieals of this Association and to the profession of pharmacy, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to his wife, Mrs. Geneva Richardson.
74 The Maryland Pharmacist
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it hereby records its grief and sense of loss in the death of Dr. Frank L. Black, President of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, 1943, Honorary President, 1959, and who over a long period of years was deeply devoted to the ideals of this Association and to the profession of pharmacy, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to his niece, Mrs. Charlotte Clarke and nephew, Mr. James Black.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it extend its appreciation to the Maryland State Dental Association for the many courtesies it con- tinues to extend to the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association in fostering better professional relations, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Maryland State Dental Association.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it extend its appreciation to the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland for the many cour- tesies it continues to extend to the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation in fostering better professional relations, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it extend its thanks and ap- preciation to those persons and organizations which assisted in effecting more reasonable fees for those pharmacists who partici- pate in the Medical Care Program administered by the Maryland Board of Health and Mental Hygiene, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Governor of the State of Maryland, to the Chairman of the Maryland Board of Health and Mental Hygiene and to the Commissioner of the Maryland State Department of Health.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it commend Mr. Walter Albrecht, who served as the representative of pharmacy on the Advisory Council on Medical Care to the Maryland State Board of Health and Mental Hygiene from 1949 to 1965, for his unselfish efforts and his many contributions to ensure the more efficient operations, and especially those referring to drugs, of this program by the Mary- land State Department of Health, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a suitably inscribed copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Albrecht.
The Maryland Pharmacist 75
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it extend its sincere apprecia- tion and thanks to those news media in the state that have been most cooperative and helpful in acquainting the public during the year with Pharmacy’s many contributions and services to the pub- lic, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the proper officials of these news media.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that the Secretary be directed to prepare and transmit a suitable resolution of appreciation and thanks to participants of the Atlantic City meeting and to those organizations and contributors who made special contributions to the success of the program and entertainment.
The following resolution previously withheld was presented for discussion:
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, that it does not believe that it is in the best interest of the patient, the physician or the pharmacist, for the label of a prescription to include the name of the ingredient or ingredients, except for very unusual medical reasons, and
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland.
Mr. Schnaper stated he did not believe that it was in the public interest not to put the name of the drug on the label. He said that the resolution was not in the public interest or the in- terest of the physician or patient and that arguments that ingredi- ent labeling would increase self-medication are specious and distorted reasoning.
Mr. Morgenroth pointed out because this same resolution had been passed the previous year and the matter referred to the Phar- macy Liaison Committee of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty, the resolution should be withdrawn. However, after considerable discussion, the resolution was approved upon motion of the Chair- man.
After discussion the word “professional”? was eliminated before the word “sample” in the following resolution, which was then
adopted as follows:
WHEREAS, a serious health hazard is created when legend drugs, including samples, become available to the public without professional supervision, and
WHEREAS, the uncontrolled and indscriminate distribution of samples of such drugs increases such hazard,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation (1) condemns the illicit distribution of legend drugs in
76 The Maryland Pharmacist
sample form or otherwise, (2) urges manufacturers to exercise adequate controls over the distribution of legend drug samples by professional representatives and by other means, and (3) commends those manufacturers who have adopted programs requiring strict accountability on the part of their professional representatives, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers’ Association.
Dean Foss then moved for adoption of the resolutions as a whole. Seconded and passed.
OLD BUSINESS 1. Report on Medical Care
Gordon A. Mouat Chairman, Pharmacy Services Committee, State Council on Medica! Care
Mr. Mouat reported that as a result of the efforts of the phar- macy representatives, pharmacy services of $1.00 and $2.00 (in place of .50-.70-1.00 and 2.00) was approved by the State Board of Health. However, the funds including additional amounts for physicians, etc., required were not put in the budget by the Governor. Phar- macists worked together with other medical groups, physicians, and nursing homes in an unprecedented combined effort, and were the only group successful in obtaining additional funds in the Gov- ernor’s supplemental budget. As a result of meetings with the Goy- ernor, the sum of $194,200 in added funds were obtained by phar- macy to increase the prescription fee schedule to .70-.90-1.00-2.00, effective July 1, 1965. This brought the average fee for pharmacy services from 91c to 99c in the county program and from 79c to 93c¢ for the Baltimore City program.
The State Council of Medical Care this year again approved the $1.00 and $2.00 fee schedule for 1966-67. This requires an additional $255,000 for increased fees on top of the $194,200 appropriated for 1965-66. This will bring average fees up from 99c to $1.19 in the counties and from 93c to $1.07 for Baltimore. This schedule now rests for approval with the State Board of Health. A suggested $1.25 single average fee for medical care prescriptions had been recommended by the Pharmacy Services Committee, but was not approved by the State Council on Medical Care because it would have required an added $190,000 over the $255,000 additional for the $1.00-$2.00 schedule, for a total of $445,000. The Council felt that this would not receive a favorable reception by authorities on top of the recent increase.
Mr. Mouat asserted that pharmacy had received the greatest consideration of all medical groups during the past year and that a coordinated effort during the coming year was again required in order to obtain final approval of the requested increase.
2. Report of Legal Counsel
The Maryland Pharmacist 77
REPORT OF LEGAL COUNSEL Joseph S. Kaufman
Mr. Kaufman reviewed the legislative proposals introduced in the state legislature. He commented on the difficulties resulting when some elements and individuals within pharmacy disagree with the program sponsored by the Association agreed upon by all organiza- tions within pharmacy and oppose it. He suggested that some pro- posals be modified and that increased efforts be made to secure the endorsement of all groups and intereses within pharmacy.
President Weiner at this point recognized the presence of Secre- tavy Emeritus Melville Strasburger.
The President then recognized Mr. Simon Solomon, who com- mented that if all supported the President, Executive Secretary and Executive Committee in carrying out the recommendations of legal counsel, it would result in progress in achieving the Association’s goals,

3. “COST OF FILLING A PRESCRIPTION” SURVEY
The decision of the Executive Committee in appropriating “up to $12,000” for a survey was reviewed. Mr. Mouat pointed out that such a survey was now of no interest to the State Board of Health or the Budgeting Department.
Mr. Norman J. Levin moved to rescind the motion of the Ex- ecutive Committee authorizing the expenditure of $12,000 for a “Cost of Filling A Prescription” Survey. Seconded by Mr. Morgen- roth and passed.
Mr. Fedder spoke of the extreme importance of having such a survey made as it would provide valuable management guidance in the area of prescription practice in addition to other uses such as for medical care pharmacy services consultations. Mr. Fedder moved that the association authorize a survey to determine the “Cost of Filling A Prescription” in Maryland. Seconded and passed.
Mr. Frank Macek commended the Resolutions Committee for the resolutions in honor and memory of MPA past presidents, Lloyd N. Richardson and Frank L. Black. He expressed the hope thait the Resolutions Committees in the future would remember the work of past presidents.
Upon the motion of Mr. Morgenroth, duly seconded, a rising vote of thanks was given to Presidenit Weiner on the completion of a successful year.
President Weiner thanked the officers, committees, wholesalers, manufacturers and others who helped make the Convention a suc- cess. He also commended T.A.M.P.A. and L.A.M.P.A. for their coopera- tion and efforts.
The 83rd Convention was adjourned alt 12:40 P.M.
BANQUET Thursday, July |, 1965
The Annual Banquet was preceded by a Social Hour provided through the courtesy of the following drug wholesalers: Calvert Drug Company, The Henry B. Gilpin Company, the Loewy Drug Company and Muth Brothers and Company.
The invocation was offered by Rabbi Seymour Rosen, Temp‘e Emeth Shalom, Margate, New Jersey. He was introduced by Chair- man Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr.
Following dinner, Chairman Ogrinz greeted the Banquet and expressed his appreciation for the cooperation and efforts of his committee in insuring a most successful and enjoyable convention for all. The Chairman then presented the Toastmaster of the eve- ning, Martin Rochlin, Vice President of Loewy Drug Company, and an affiliate member of MPA.
Mr. Rochlin introduced the guests seated at the head tables and others seated in the audience. The Toastmaster then presented
80 The Maryland Pharmacist
President Solomon Weiner, who brought greetings to the members and guests on behalf of the Association as follows: “I am delighted to see all of you present this evening at the conclusion of this wonderful Convention. On behalf of the Association, I wish to ex- press my appreciation to Chairman Ogrinz and the Convention Committee for the fine Convention program and entertainment.
“Tt is difficult to individually thank all who have made the Convention a success. I do wish to thank TAMPA, under Al Callahan and Herman Bloom, for their great efforts on behalf of the Con- vention. My thanks also to the ladies of LAMPA, the wholesalers and manufacturers who did so much for this important Association project.
“My appreciation also goes to Secretary Gruz and his staff for their devoted efforts and many hours that go into the arrange- ments for the Convention.
“T am sure that all of you have found ‘the Convention informa- tive and entertaining.
“It has been a great honor and privilege to have served as your president. Thank you.”
President Weiner then presented a plaque to John C MacFar- lane, president of Youngs Drug Products Corporation, with the following citation:
“John C. MacFarlane, the man we are honoring tonight, is a native of New York City. Following Navy service and graduation from Cornell University, he joined the Youngs Rubber Corporation in 1947 as a salesman.
“He was promoted to Purchasing Manager, Export Manager and Vice President in charge of Sales for the Youngs Rubber Cor- poration, and remained in that position until December 1956.
“when the founder and president, Merle L. Youngs, retired in 1956, Mr. MacFarlane was made President of the company. AS President of the Youngs Rubber Corporation, he furthered the pioneer policy of drugstore-only prophylactic distribution as original- ly established by the founder, Merle L. Youngs.
“Under the guidance of Mr. MacFarlane, the Youngs Rubber Corporation recently successfully defended a $30 million dollar lawsuit which threatened pharmacy prophylactic laws. After more than three years of litigation, the United States District Court at Chicago dismissed the lawsuit which was brought against the Youngs Rubber Corporation by Paul Paradise, doing business as National Sanitary Sales, and National Sanitary Sales, Inc., as plaintiffs. The complaint had alleged violation of the Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Acts and was based on Youngs’ pioneer policy of advocating drugstore prophylactic laws and reporting their violations to law enforcement agencies through public, civic, and pharmaceutical authorities and organizations; the plaintiffs had sought judicially to restrain this activity.
The Maryland Pharmacist 81
“The complaint had also particularly asserted that the de- fendant Youngs had been instrumental in advocating the successful passage of numerous stalte laws and municipal ordinances prohibit- ing the sale of prophylactics in other than drugstores.
“In 1964, Mr. MacFarlane received two additional national honors and awards for his support and contributions in the field of pharmacy.
“As a result of introducing new Drugstore only ‘Up Front’ items, on September 14, 1964, the name of the company was changed to Youngs Drug Products Corporation. Mr. MacFarlane stated ‘the policy remains the same, only our name has changed.’ Mr. Mac Farlane and the Youngs Drug Products Corporation have always been active in their support of Pharmacy, on every front.
“It is a great pleasure, as well as privilege, therefore, to present this plaque to you, Mr. MacFarlane, on behalf of the Maryland Pharmacutical Association, in recognition of the policies which you advocate and practice in behalf of pharmacy and public health.”
Toastmaster Rochlin then called upon Milton A. Friedman, on behalf of the Pharmacy Week Committee, to make the following Maryland 1964 National Pharmacy Week Window Display Contest awards of inscribed plaques:
FIRST PRIZE—Morris L. Cooper, Cooper’s Drug Store, Park and North Avenues, Baltimore.
SECOND PRIZE—Aaron M. Libowitz, Libby’s Rexall Drug Store, 4901 Belair Road, Baltimore.
THIRD PRIZE—John Thomas, Thomas & Thompson, Baltimore and Light Streets, Baltimore.
President Weiner discharged the 1964-65 officers and Executive Committee with his acknowledgment of their contribution to the effectiveness of the Association.
President-elect Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr. was installed as Presi- dent of the Association by Mr. Weiner. The other officers and Ex- ecutive Committee for 1965-66 were then installed.
President Ogrinz then delivered the following message:
“It is with a feeling of joy mixed with humility that I look for- ward to this coming year—the year which all the members made possible by electing me to the plateau of the presidency of this association.
My acceptance of this honor carries with it the promise that I intend to serve the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association with every resource at my command in order to achieve the objectives of the pharmacists of this State. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate a few of the most important of these.
Firstly, the legislative program should result in two essential laws: one that will give the Maryland Board of Pharmacy the power to appeal adverse lower court decisions and one which will give
82 The Maryland Pharmacist
regulatory powers to the Board. If pharmacy is to advance, ©X- tremely high priority must be given to turning these two bills into law during the coming session of the Maryland General Assembly.
In addition to these legislative objectives, there are two ex- tremely important ones with which the Health & Welfare Commit- tee has been charged: that of developing a sound prepaid prescrip- tion insurance program which will not abdicate the rights of the pharmacist, and the promotion of a positive program which will give the Maryland pharmacist a voice in the deliberations concern- ing the requirements of pharmaceutical services which are com- pensated by governmental agencies.
It goes without saying that all committee work is paramount in an organization such as ours, but it must be stressed that an intense involvement in these legislative matters at the formulative stages is essential if we are to transmit a proud pharmaceutical heritage to those who will follow.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my satisfaction in the knowledge that the support of the Ladies Auxiliary and the Travelers Auxiliary is always available to the Maryland Pharmaceu- tical Association and wish to assure them that our Association will be making a concerted effort to promote their aims and objectives, as well.”
As his first official act, President Ogrinz presented the Past President’s plaque to retiring President Solomon Weiner. Mr. Philip Levin, President of the Loewy Drug Company, presented the Loewy plaque and gavel to President Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr.
On behalf of TAMPA, retiring President Alfred E. Callaham introduced the new officers and board members of the auxiliary.
President Ruth Levin of LAMPA introduced the officers and Executive Board of the ladies organization.
Appreciation was expressed to the following for their part in assuring the success of the Convention: J ohn A. Crozier and the Calvert Drug Company for daily bulletins, The Henry B. Gilpin Com- pany for providing morning newspapers daily, Hendler and Bordens for ice-cream at the pool, the wholesalers—Calvert, Gilpin, Loewy and Muth—for the cocktail party, Youngs Rubber for a cocktail party, Paramount Photo Service for taking pictures throughout the Convention and F. A. Davis, Daniel Loughran, and General Cigar for cigars.
The many generous contributions to the convention were acknowledged and prizes were drawn.
The benediction was pronounced by Rabbi Rosen.
The 83rd Annual Convention came to a most enjoyable con- clusion and was adjourned at 10 P.M.

A CODE OF ETHICS
For the guidance of members of this Association and all pharmacies of the State who may wish to follow the higher practice of their profession.
RESPECTING THE PHARMACIST HIMSELF
First—He should, by study, experimentation, investigation and _ practice, thoroughly qualify himself to fully meet and competently transact the daily requirements of his vocation.
Second—He should possess a good moral character and should not be addicted to the improper use of narcotic drugs nor the excessive use of alcoholic stimulants.
Third—He should constantly endeavor to enlarge his store of knowledge; he should, as far as possible, read current pharmaceutical literature; he should encourage all such pharmaceutical organizations as seen to be help- ful to the profession, and so deport himself as not to detract from the dignity and honor of the calling this Association, especially is trying to elevate.
Fourth—He should accept the standards and requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia and the National Formulary for the articles of Materia Medica and the preparations recognized by these publications, and, as far as possible, should promote the use of these and discourage the use of pro- prietaries and nostrums.
RESPECTING THE PHARMACIST’s RELATION WITH THOSE From WHom He MAKEs PurRCHASES
First—He should deal fairly with these, all goods received in error or excess, and all undercharges, should be as promptly reported as are short- ages and overcharges. Containers not charged for and not included in the charge of contents should be carefully returned, or, if used should be credited to the party to whom they belong.
Second—He should earnestly strive to follow all trade regulations and rules, promptly meet obligations, closely follow all contracts and agreements, and shoud not encourage or sanction any division of quantity purchases not contemplated in the terms of sale.
RESPECTING THE PHARMACIST’S RELATION WitH Huis FELLOW-PHARMACIST
First—In this relationship he should, especially, “do as he would be done by.” He should not make any comment or use any form of advertisement that will reflect upon a member of the profession, generally or specifically. Nor should he do that which will in any way discredit the standing of other pharmacists in the minds of either physicians or laymen.
Second—He should not obtain, surreptitiously, or use the private form- ulas of another, nor should he imitate or use another’s preparations, labels or special forms of advertising.
Third—He should not fill orders or prescriptions which come to him by mistake. Prescription containers with copies and labels of another phar
92 The Maryland Pharmacist
macist upon them may be filled by him upon request but he must invariably replace the labels with his own, thereby assuming proper responsibility.
Fourth—He should never request a copy of a prescription from another pharmacist; the owner of the prescription, being alone entitled to a copy, is the proper person to ask for it.
Fifth—He may borrow merchandise from another pharmacist, provided the practice is reciprocal and equally agreeable to both parties; but the better form is to pay a sum for the desired article equal to the cost and half of the profit to be obtained.
RespEcTING THE PHARMACIST’S RELATION WitH PHYSICIANS
First—He should positively refuse to prescribe for customers except in ease of urgent emergency.
Second—He should not, under any circumstances substitute one article for another, or one make of an article for another, in a physician’s prescription without the physician’s consent.
Third—He should refuse to re-fill prescriptions or give copies of them when so instructed by the physician.
Fourth—He should not put advertisement of any kind on prescription blanks furnished to the physician, including the name and address of the pharmacy or pharmacist.
Fifth—He should not place copies of prescriptions upon containers un- less ordered to do so by the prescriber, even though the patient should request it, Nor should he use any word or label, like “For External Use,” ‘Poison,” “Caution,” etc., with due regard for the wishes of the prescriber, provided the safety of the patient and family is not jeopardized.
Sixth—Whenever there is a doubt as to the correctness of the physician’s prescription or directions, he should invariably confer with the physician in order to avoid possible mistakes or unpleasantness; changes in prescriptions should not be made without such conference.
Respectinc THE PHARMACIST’S RELATIONS Witrn His Patrons
First—He should seek to merit the confidence of his customers, which, when won, should be jealously guarded and never abused by extortion or misrepresentation.
Second—He should supply products of standard quality only to patrons. excepting when something inferior is specified and paid for by them.
Third—He should charge no more than fair, equitable prices zor mer- chandise and prescriptions; but the time required for the preyer preparation of prescriptions should he duly considered and paid fez.
Fourth—He should hold the safety and healt of his patrons to be of first consideration; he should make no attezupt to treat disease nor strive to sell nostrums or specifics simply for the sake of profit.
Fifth—He should consider the reckless or continued sale of drugs to habitues and the illicit sale af abortive medicines or poisons to be practices unbecoming a gentleman, a pharmacist and a member of this Association.

Merck Prescription Chemicals and Narcotics
Many prescriptions such as ointments, nose drops and cough syrups, to mention a few, still require the know-how of a registered pharmacist. Even a casual observer in any pharmacy is mightily impressed when he sees a prescription being compounded.

one reason why more people
come to you with more prescriptions... is original research by MERCK SHARP & DOHME
Among the top 200 pharmaceuticals—200 drugs that accounted for 64.5 percent of all new prescriptions in 1963—were these nine important products of original MSD re- search:*
DECADRON® (dexamethasone)
DECAGESIC® (dexamethasone, aspirin, and aluminum hydroxide)
DIUPRES® (chlorothiazide and reserpine)
DIURIL® (chlorothiazide)
ELAVIL® HCI (amitriptyline hydrochloride)
HydroDIURIL® (hydrochlorothiazide)
HYDROPRES® (hydrochlorothiazide and re- serpine)
NeoDECADRON® (dexamethasone 21- phosphate and neomycin sulfate)
PERIACTIN® HCI (cyproheptadine hydro- chloride)
New and original research at MERCK SHARP & DOHME not only brings in many prescrip- tions for these and other MSD products, but it has also expanded the entire prescription
market. For instance, the entire field of cor- ticosteroid therapy was begun with the syn- thesis by MSD of cortisone; and the thera- peutic era of thiazide diuretics was started when MSD developed DIURIL.
Perhaps of even more importance is the fact that original research is never content with what has been done. You can expect many other new and unique products to come from MSD, products that will continue to bring in more people with more prescriptions.
We welcome any comments or questions that you may have about how MSD works in the interests of better and more profitable phar- macy. Please write to Mr. E. F. Keating, Di- rector of Trade Relations, Dept. 127, MERCK SHARP & DOHME, West Point, Pa. 19486.

GIVE YOUR CUSTOMER A CHOICE
Sales experts have worked out a system of selling that can make a tremendous difference in your sales. It simply consists of giving the customer a choice. Here's how it works:
If you are selling a cigarette lighter and you finally ask the customer to buy a particular make or model of lighter, you are, in effect, giving him a choice between buying or not buying, but if you give him a choice between two lighters, the emphasis is placed on buying one of them instead of not buying a lighter.
To put it another way, if you say to the customer, ''Shall | wrap this lighter for you?"' the customer might say “yes'' or he might say "no". But, if you say, ''Which of the two excellent lighters is your choice, Mr. Brown?" the customer is likely to indicate the one he wants to purchase. It is unlikely that he'll switch the entire conversation around to say "'l don't want to buy either one.”
Try it and see if this system of giving the customer a choice between something and something doesn't result in more sales than a choice between something and nothing.

Editorial...... Dr. B. Olive Cole Pharmacy Museum
The first phase of the Dr. B. Olive Cole Pharmacy Museum, sponsored by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion, is nearing completion with the in- stallation of cases in the foyer of the Kelly Memorial Building, headquarters for Pharmacy in Maryland. This cul- mination of many years of effort also has received the support of the Alumni Association of the University of Mary- land School of Pharmacy and the Balti- more Metropolitan Pharmaceutical As- sociation.
Miss Cole, Professor Emeritus of Pharmacy Administration of the Uni- versity of Maryland School of Phar- macy and former Acting Dean, is known throughout the world of pharmacy for her service to the profession since her graduation in 1913. Her distinguished career in pharmacy was a pioneering one for her sex; it is fitting that she be honored by this recognition of her con- tribution to her chosen field by the establishment of this educational and historical landmark in her name.
Plans for the full museum involve two more phases. The second phase involves remodeling of the basement meeting room with the installation of museum cases in certain areas. When completed, the meeting room will be paneled and have modern lighting, lectern, floor, and built-in audio-visual equipment. The third phase involves the furnishing of the present refreshment room as an old time apothecary shop to be named after L. Manuel Hendler.
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation has been fortunate in receiving the major portion of the pharmaceutical collection of the late L. Manuel Hendler from the Hendler Foundation. This is one of the outstanding collections of pharmaceutical artifacts in this country, containing many unique and unusual items sought after by national museums.
The museum also will contain som memorabilia of the late Dr. Robert L Swain, presented by Mrs. Swain, anc momentos of Dr. E. F. Kelly donated by; his son, Kenneth L. Kelly.
All who possess any objects of phar: maceutical interest, including books are urged to present them to the B Olive Cole Museum and the adjoinins library.
The preservation of our history anc our heritage is important in under. standing the present and anticipatins the future. Greater appreciation of ow history by laymen as well as those i pharmacy can be achieved. Students wil benefit from the opportunity to see anc to study the tools and books of the teachers, leaders, and practitioners 0: the past.
All pharmacists and those person: allied with the drug industry can par. ticipate in making the three-phase plan: a reality. A joint “Swain-Cole Fund’ has been established to provide fund: for both the B. Olive Cole Museum anc the Dr. Robert L. Swain Model Phar. macy to be established in the Dunnins Hall, also under M.P.A. auspices.
The progress made so far is due pri: marily to the leadership and vision 0: the Swain-Cole Fund Chairman, Irvins I. Cohen, whose persistence and patience kept the project alive for a decade ant now has brought Phase One to a reality Associated with the ‘“SSwain-Cole” Com. mittee are Dr. Fitzgerald Dunning anc Simon Solomon as Honorary Chairmen and L. Scott Grauel as Contribution: Chairman.
Generous contributions have alread} been made by a few firms and indi: viduals. In the near future a forma campaign will be launched.
We are confident that all of you wil respond generously when called upon t assure completion of these valuabl educational and _ historical projec which will bring distinction to our pr fession and benefit to everyone.

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
As president of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, I paused to reflect for a moment on the position that you and I occupy as pharmacists in this State. One can cite the pharmaceutical industry and all the research it has done to im- prove the health of the people; the amount of capital spent on research by the ethical pharmaceutical manufacturers in this country in one year was greater than that spent by the pharmaceutical industry in the rest of the world. If we narrow this further to the Atlantic Seaboard States only, which, within their boundaries, contribute one-third of our industry’s activities to this Country, we may deduce that our voice, if exercised, will carry a profound impact on pharmacists every- where, and will elicit their respect, you can be sure.
I stress the importance of this influence and offer the Association to you as a sounding board and a laboratory for modern ideas to perpetuate and to elevate the profession which is so very close to our hearts.
Your officers and Executive Committee have recognized fully the drastic changes that are taking place within our profession and are at this very moment deliberating with experienced officials on the subject of establishing a sound pre- payment prescription insurance plan. Development of this plan will be discussed in a later message.
Activities involving pharmacy services under the program, both State and local, are being negotiated by representatives of your Association, whose knowledge and accomplishments concerning such programs are unsurpassed.
Intense work and preparations are being devoted by your Committees on the Simon Solomon and Swain Seminars. It is imperative that you make preparations to attend them.
The fixture portion of the Cole Museum has been installed in the Kelly Build- ing, under the leadership of School of Pharmacy Committee Chairman Irving I. Cohen. The handling and display of the pharmaceutical collection is proceeding under the supervision of Curator Gordon A. Mouat. |
I have touched just briefly on several of your Association’s projects and have completely skipped over others. I expect to follow up in future messages the com- plete activities of your Association in issues yet to come.
Please become active. We need your assistance, and you need your Association.
Sincerely,
ALEXANDER J. OGRINZ, JR. President

DRUG ABUSE AMENDMENTS OF 1965

The Association will mail pertinent information to each member and keep everybody informed as to which stimu- lant drugs are covered according to the Food and Drug Administration.
50 YEARS OF TAMPA
TAMPA—the Travelers Auxiliary of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion — celebrated its 50th anniversary with a truly gala dinner dance at the Emerald Gardens on November 11.
President Herman Bloom, Chairman Fred Plate, the Social Committee and the entire TAMPA membership are to be commended for arranging a mem- orable evening.
A record attendance was set with a large turnout of pharmacists joining the Travelers in celebrating this golden milestone.
We all look forward to even greater cooperative efforts between TAMPA and the pharmacists of Maryland.
Congratulations and best wishes for even greater accomplishments for the mutual benefit of both members of a most important partnership—MPA and TAMPA!

It looks like a rather busy year (or decade) ahead. There is _ obviously plenty of room and an urgent need for every pharmacist to contribute some of his time, effort and talent to his pro- fession.
The Maryland Pharmacist
We look forward to an increasing number of pharmacists who will be will- ing to augment the circle of the “same old crowd.”
Change will always be the rule for pharmacy, as for all of life. Urgent prob- lems will likewise always be with us. Let us look upon them as great challenges and great opportunities in 1966 and the years ahead.
All who are ready to meet these chal- lenges and understand the opportunities inherent in inevitable change will be in the vanguard of progress in pharmacy. They will reap the professional and per- sonal rewards of open minds and ready hands.
A joyous holiday season and a happy New Year.

Medicare And The Pharmacist By Leon Silin*
It is a pleasure to have the opportun- ity this afternoon to say a few words about Medicare and its meaning to you as a citizen as well as a member of the pharmacy profession. We want and need your cooperation, and so we welcome the chance to explain Medicare and its significance.
We are especially mindful of the fact that the neighborhood pharmacist plays a very important role as a community source of health information. He is not just the local dispenser of drugs, sodas, and sundries, but he is also a trusted friend to whom many people turn in time of trouble, especially where medi- cal problems are concerned. He is the source of advice, counsel, and guidance, particularly to older people who may not have anyone else in whom to con- fide. So it is very likely that many phar- macists will be called upon by their cus- tomers to furnish information and ad- vice about Medicare.
First of all, therefore, you should know, at least generally, what Medicare in fact is. It’s a health insurance policy for people age 65 and over, and we be- lieve it’s a pretty good one. For the first time in our history, the elderly popula- tion of America, as a group, will be able to purchase health insurance compar- able in quality and range of services to that now generally available to younger people. And while Medicare will by no means solve every problem the aged have in financing their health care, it is a king-size step toward making high quality health care available to them.
This is the fundamental concept of Medicare which so often is overlooked in any debate about its value. It was not brought into being in any way to pro- vide or to supervise medical services,
*Health Insurance Benefits Specialist, Bureau of Health Insurance, Social Security Administration. For presentation to a meet- ing of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion on October 28, 1965, in Urbana, Maryland.
but only to help aged people pay for needed health care. And these are the very people that need health care the most, and who are the least able to pay for that health care.
Well, then, what does Medicare pay for? We have to explain that there are two parts to this program. First there is a basic plan for hospital and hospital- related benefits. Payment for inpatient hospital services is provided for the first 60 days of a spell of illness with an initial deductible of $40, and payment for 30 additional days is provided with co-payment by the patient of $10 a day. The services covered are those ordinarily furnished by hospitals to inpatients who occupy semi-private accommodations. Physician services, private duty nurs- ing, and personal comfort items are not covered.
Suppose a beneficiary must go to the hospital for ten days and the bill runs up to as much as $700 (and this is not at all an unrealistic figure today). Under Medicare, the patient only has to pay the initial deductible of $40, while the Government pays the remaining $660. I leave it to you to decide whether or not this will be a help to our aged population and to the people they would have to turn to for help to meet that bill without this new health insurance policy.
Payment for outpatient hospital diag- nostic services is also provided. For each diagnostic study, in a 20-day peri- od, by the same hospital, the patient pays a $20 deductible, and 20 per-cent of the remaining charges for the study. This benefit will enable the patient to get a diagnostic workup without forcing him to go into the hospital as an in- patient and to use a hospital bed which is sorely needed for a patient in a more acute situation.
Payment is also provided for inpatient care in an extended care facility, such as a skilled nursing home, after trans- fer from a hospital. The patient has full coverage for the first 20 days, and then
266 November 1965
The Maryland Pharmacist
for an additional 80 days with a co-pay- ment of $5 a day by the patient—for a total of 100 days during any siege of illness.
Lastly, payment for post-hospital home health service is provided for up to 100 visits during the one-year period after discharge from a hospital or ex- tended care facility, and before the be- ginning of the next serious illness.
A spell of illness starts on the first day an eligible person receives covered services in a hospital or extended care facility. It ends when he has not been a patient in a hospital or extended care facility for 60 days. In other words, when he’s used up his benefits, he can- not become eligible for these benefits again until he has been well, or at least out of the hospital or nursing home, for at least 60 days.
What we call basic hospital benefits are automatically available to all social security and railroad retirement bene- ficiaries who are 65 years of age. These will also be available to those people now 65 or who will attain the age of 65 before 1968, under certain deemed en- titlement provisions in the law, even if they would not ordinarily qualify as so- cial security or railroad retirement beneficiaries. We expect that when these benefits become effective, July 1, 1966, that 19 million aged people will be qualified to receive them.
The second part of the program is called a supplementary plan. This pro- vides medical insurance benefits. The most significant benefit, under this part of the program, is, of course, payment for physicians’ and surgeons’ service. Payment is made whether these services are rendered in a hospital, in the doc- tor’s office, in the patient’s home, or elsewhere.
Payment for up to 100 home health visits in a year are also provided. Prior hospitalization is not a _ prerequisite. This is in addition to the 100 visits paid for under the basic hospital program. Coverage, under both programs, would be for items and services provided in the
patient’s home by a home health agency, but must be furnisted under a plan established and supervised by a physi- cian. They include such things as part- time nursing care, physical therapy, oc- cupational therapy, speech therapy, and so on.
A number of other medical and health services are covered, such as diagnostic tests, X-ray and oher radiation treat- ments, artificial limbs, and the rental of durable medical equipment, to mention only a few. The patient has to pay a $50 deductible for each calendar year, and 20 per cent of the remaining ex- penses for all covered services provided during the year. The Government pays the remaining 80 per cent. This part of the program is not to be financed from social security contributions; the bene- fits it provides are not automatic, but are available only to those who have voluntarily enrolled and agreed to pay a monthly premium of $3 which is matched by an equal amount from gen- eral revenues.
It has been estimated that from 80 to 95 per cent of the eligible aged will wish to enroll. This would mean that approx- imately 15 to 18 million individuals will be eligible for the supplementary bene- fits on July 1, 1966, when these benefits, too, become effective.
Now I would like briefly to summarize the provisions in medicare which deal with payment for drugs and biologicals —provisions which would, of course, be of special interest to this group.
Under the basic hospital insurance program, payments will be made for drugs and biologicals as well as other supplies and equipment which are or- dinarily furnished for the care and treatment of inpatients of a hospital or skilled nursing home. Drugs and biologi- cals furnished in connection with home health services are specifically excluded.
The only drugs that will be covered under the suplementary medical insur- ance program are those which are com- monly provided by a physician in his office, which cannot be _ self-adminis-
The Maryland Pharmacist
tered, and which are incidental to the physician’s service. Payment will be made only for those drugs and biologi- cals which are included, or approved for inclusion, in one of the five following compendia named in the law: The U.S. Pharmacopeia, The National Formulary, The U.S. Homeopathic Pharmacopeia, New Drugs, or Accepted Dental Reme- dies. Also covered, in the case of a hos- pital, are drugs approved for use in the hospital by the pharmacy and drug therapeutics committee of the medical staff of that hospital.
The law does not contain any pro- vision which governs the source of sup- ply from which hospitals and extended care facilities may obtain their drugs. Thus, drugs obtained by a hospital or skilled nursing home from a retail phar- macy could be covered. Payment by the program would, in all cases, however, be made to the hospital or extended care facility. No payment for drugs would be made to retail pharmacies. Payments would be based on the reasonable cost incurred by the hospital or nursing home in obtaining the drugs. As you know, prescription drugs purchased by an individual from a retail druggist are not covered.
There were amendments proposed by Senators Javits and Aikens calling for the coverage of prescription drugs, but these were not adopted. It may have been felt that their coverage would re- sult in a substantial increase in pro- gram costs which was not feasible at this time. Senator Javits also proposed an amendment requiring the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to study this question and to report to Congress by June 30, 1966. This amend- ment was adopted by the Senate, but was deleted by the Conference Commit- tee. The Department of Health, Educa- tion, and Welfare was not opposed to this study, although it felt the reporting date was too early. According to Senator Long, the House conferees felt that the amendment was undesirable since it might imply a commitment that Con-
November 1965 267
gress agree with the results of the study. Furthermore, the Department already had the authority to conduct studies on the question of coverage of prescription drugs, under another provision of the law directing the Secretary to study all matters generally relating to health care for the aged.
My ow.) neighborhood pharmacist has asked me, and perhaps you are thinking of asking, whether or not coverage of prescription drugs under medicare is in the offing, and if so, when. I am not in any better position to answer that ques- tion than any of you are. Whatever an- swer I gave would be purely personal conjecture. As you all know, it will de- pend on the will of the people and the diligence with which people concerned communicate their wishes to Congress.
Whether medicare is a good or bad law, and what should be done to change or improve it may be properly debated. For the time being, most of us now feel that the administration of the law, as it is, is the matter to which we must all turn our attention with a shared con- cern that it must contribute to, and not detract from, the quality and availabil- ity of health services for the American people.
One of our first jobs was to prepare descriptive pamphlets and to distribute millions of them to the public. We have also completed the mailing to each so- cial security beneficiary and railroad re- tirement annuitant who is 65 or over of an application card for enrollment in the supplementary medical insurance program. To exercise his option, the beneficiary can simply check yes or no, sign his name and return the card to us. In this way we will reach about 80 per cent of the aged. Since these people are automatically covered for the hospital program, they need only complete the simple application card which we have sent them to get complete coverage.
About a third of the remaining three and one-half million not yet on the rolls are receiving old-age assistance and will be reached through state welfare
268 November 1965
The Maryland Pharmacist
agencies. The rest of the potential bene- ficiaries will have to get in touch with their local social security district offices in order to establish their entitlement to hospital insurance and to sign up for the supplementary medical insurance if they wish.
The person who is 65 now or will at- tain age 65 before the end of this year stands to lose out if he fails to sign up promptly for the medical insurance, be- cause the first enrollment period closes on March 31, 1966. He will not ordinarily have another chance to sign up for med- ical insurance until the latter part of 1967; if he enrolls then, his coverage will not begin until the middle of the following year, and he will have to pay a higher premium than if he signed up at his first opportunity.
We hope, therefore, that members of the pharmacy profession will consider how, in their daily contacts with aged persons, they can find opportunities to help inform them about the protection that is available to them if they apply for it. Our staff is even exploring the feasibility and means of enlisting the aid of the neighborhood pharmacist to act, if he would, as an unofficial infor- mation center on Medicare, and display a supply of our pamphlets and leaflets. Of course, we would not expect him to have all the answers, but he could refer people to the nearest social security of- fice where the staff can provide detailed and authoritative information.
Let me say that few of us in Govern- ment have ever seen a program begin with so great a commitment to consul- tation as the basis for its administra- tive judgments. We have, and we are, continually asking for guidance, and we are carefully listening to advice. To name a few of the groups with whom we have been meeting: the American Hospital Association, State Hospital Associations, The American Medical As- sociation, The Blue Cross Association, and several individual plans, Nation Blue Shield, a task force composed of representatives of many commercial in-
surance companies, The Joint Commis- sion on Accreditation of Hospitals, rep- resentatives of nursing homes, and many more. We have also met with repre- sentatives of The National Association of Retail Druggists on several occasions. It will continue to be our policy to adopt rules and regulations and procedures only after consulting closely with people who have a professional interest and a technical competence in matters which affect our program.
In concluding, let me emphasize that the role of the Federal Government as we see it, is to provide a method of pay- ment for health care costs and fees for services provided in accordance with high quality and professionally approved standards. The program will not inter- fere with the doctor-patient relationship nor the administration of health care facilities. What it will do is to assure our elderly population that the costs of quality care will be met. Hopefully, moreover, by providing patient income for 19,000,000 Americans for a compre- hensive range of health services, the new program should encourage states, communities, hospitals, and the medi- cal profession to plan the expansion of health services and health facilities on a sounder financial assurance of pay- ment than in the past, and ultimately to offer the consumer greater access to the best in health care.

The next time you get a prescription for erythromycin ... think seriously about making it Erythrocin®
Not all erythromycins are the same.
Allare highly active against the com- mon bacterial organisms. And all share the inherent—and highly unusual— safety characteristics of the antibiotic.
But Erythrocin—the Abbott prod- uct—presents this one distinction: It has not been shown to cause liver im- pairment.
Indeed, in separate studies’, Erythrocin was used to challenge pa- tients who developed jaundice follow- ing prolonged therapy with erythro- mycin estolate. In neither study did the patients show any signs of sensitivity.
We’ re not suggesting that jaundice is a frequent problem with erythromycin estolate. Far from it. The point simply is that Erythrocin has not caused it.
And for some physicians — with some
ERYTHROMYCIN
patients—this can be an important plus.
Perhaps you’ll want to consider Erythrocin—next time a prescription comes in for erythromycin.
Precautions and Side Effects: Do not use in persons with known sensitivity to eryth- romycin. Occasional side effects are ab- dominal discomfort or cramping; nausea and vomiting (often controlled by dosage reduction) and mild allergic manifestations. Serious reactions have been extremely in- frequent. If signs of sensitivity appear, proper countermeasures (e.g., epinephrine, steroids, etc.) should be administered and the drug should be withdrawn. If over- growth of nonsusceptible bacteria or fungi occurs, withdraw drug and insti-
tute appropriate treatment if necessary. cscs Urea 1. Gilbert, F. I., Jr., J.A.M.A., 182:1048, December

Feldmann Talks on Medicare's Relation to N.F. Admissions Policy
At the annual meeting of the Paren- teral Drug Association in New York in October Dr. Edward G. Feldmann, Di- rector of Revision of the National For- mulary of the American Pharmaceuti- cal Association, talked to the group with a view toward clarifying the relation- ship between Medicare and the new Formulary policy. This is yet another aspect of a vital issue which you will find treated elsewhere in this month’s Maryland Pharmacist.
The new law, in its definition of drugs for which payment will be allowed, lim- its payment for those drugs described in
certain specific compendia, including the National Formulary. To quote Dr. Feldmann, ‘Without
some such definition there would be no means of defining the drugs for reim- bursement, and virtually any nostrum or quack remedy could qualify for pay- ment. This obviously would be to the detriment both of the individual patient and the tax-paying public. Therefore, while the National Formulary in no way invited nor solicited this recognition in the Medicare act, nevertheless Congress saw fit to include it in this manner. Furthermore, if our assumption is cor- rect that Congressional intent in so do- ing was to avoid payment for worthless drugs, then we heartily support the in- tent of Congress and the apparent con- fidence which is thereby expressed in the N.F.”
Medicare makes no provision to pay for drug combinations except those in the cited compendia or approved by hos- pital pharmacy and therapeutics com- mittees. Immediate attention was given to the National Formulary policy re- garding inclusion of combinations.
In discussing the N.F. Committee’s de- cision to recognize only combinations which provide a therapeutic advantage which would not be obtained from the ingredients separately, Dr. Feldmann stated that “Promotional gimmicks and prescribing fads have no place in an
official compendium and, as a conse- quence, must be appropriately dis- counted by the medical advisors con- sidering and recommending drugs or drug combinations for admission to the IN (a
In response to the question of what ramifications pertaining to Medicare will result from this change in the N.F. ad- missions policy, which establishes thera- peutic value instead of extent of use as its criterion, Dr. Feldmann opined, ... “two chief differences should result.
“First of all, nostrums which had been previously accorded recognition in the N.F. due to some degree of extent of use are now excluded from the National Formulary. As a consequence, articles of such questionable therapeutic value will not qualify for financial reimbursement under Medicare, and their use will be further discouraged.
“A second probable effect, on the other hand, will be that good drugs which have not achieved a significant degree of popularity for various reasons, such as rarity of the condition being treated, cost of the drug, and so on, will now fully qualify for N.F. admission and recognition. It can be expected that this will facilitate and encourage utilization of such drugs for patients qualifying under the provisions of the Medicare act and, as a result, such desirable ther- apy will be stimulated.”

Have you ever stopped to consider the big investment you have in your career? And have you thought of the thousands of dollars you will have earned during your lifetime? More than 90% of those engaged in the professions own life in- surance, for just those reasons, and you can get the best—for less!

Pharmacists Participate In Civil Defense Seminar
I attended the Professional Training Seminar sponsored by the U. S. Depart- ment of H.E.W., Region III, at Charl- ottesville, Va. on October 7, 1965.
This Seminar was for the purpose of exploring the role of the various allied Health Professions in disaster situations.
Of greatest interest to pharmacists is the fact that the U.S. Department of H.E.W. recognizes the value of training and skill the pharmacist has in certain areas which would be of significant value in disaster situations.
Recommendations have been made to define more clearly the role of the vari- ous allied health professions, so that the members of each profession can better understand how to utilize their skills to the greatest advantage and use- fulness.
To this end a manual has been pre- pared by the A.Ph.A. on “The Role of the Pharmacist in National Disasters.” Other manuals have been prepared by the Department of H.E.W. to augment the knowledge of the pharmacist and thus render him even more valuable in areas of survival in the event of a na- tional disaster.
A program is being designed to edu- cate the pharmacists in the need actual- ly to participate in programs most suit- ably adapted to his existing knowledge and skills. Participation in these pro- grams will increase the knowledge of the pharmacist, and make him ready to as- sume the role of a leader in the event of a national disaster where he lives of his family, his neighbors, and himself may depend upon what he has learned.

What compound cost $20,000,000 before marketing and led to millions of prescriptions?
Cortisone. It took over $20,000,000 and eight years to put cortisone
into production. From cortisone Merck Sharp & Dohme developed hydrocortisone and DECADRON® (dexamethasone). Other pharma- ceutical companies produced many analogs of cortisone; all together opened new horizons in medicine resulting in millions of new prescriptions.
It took 15 years and thousands of rejected compounds to produce DIURIL® (chlorothiazide). INDOCIN® (indomethacin), a new MSD product, is the end result of eight years of testing and thousands of rejected compounds.
These successful products and their precursors—the many unsuccessful ones—are the reasons that Merck & Co., Inc. will spend nearly $32,000,000 on research during the year 1965; an expenditure of about 10 cents out of every sales dollar. Research expenses over the past
10 years have increased faster than sales; fortunately, earnings have kept pace,
During 1964, for instance, MSD had 10 products among the top 200 pharmaceuticals:* DECADRON® (dexamethasone), DIURIL® (chlorothiazide), ELAVIL® (amitriptyline hydrochloride), HydroDIURIL® (hydrochloro- thiazide), PERIACTIN® (cyproheptadine hydrochloride), DECAGESIC®, DIUPRES®, HydroDIURIL-Ka®, HydroPRES®, NeoDECADRON®.,
MSD strives continuously to produce new and more useful drugs. These drugs are promoted to physicians and pharmacists by highly trained, well-informed MSD representatives. Your MSD representative is constantly busy helping you share in the business generated by the increased flow of prescriptions
for these leading products.

TAMPA Annual Meeting By Joe Hugg
Tampa’s “Golden Jubilee” year got off to a flying start when they held their first luncheon meeting of the new ad- ministration on October 9, 1965. The location was the beautiful Turf Valley Country Club. A goodly number of TAMPA members were present and en- joyed an excellent lunch preceded by the usual social hour. Letters of thanks were read in appreciation for a silver compote which was presented to the Past President, Don Spedden, of the recent administration, and from Bernie Ulman, for the Silver Tray presented him by the members of the cast of TAMPA Palace, 1965.
Everyone was complimentary about the interesting and informative demon- stration and explanation of golf tech- niques by Bill Strausbaugh, golf pro of the Turf Valley Club. Listening to and watching Bill demonstrate “how to im- prove your game” was most interesting and informative. Yours truly is not a golfer; however, listening to Bill, one

certainly can understand why so many people enjoy the game.
President Herman Bloom showed a film depicting what life is like at Tami- ment. Tamiment, as you probably know by now, is a mountain resort in the Poconos which will be the site of the 1966 annual pharmaceutical convention. Members were appreciative of Joe Cos- tanza’s thoughtfulness and generosity in his contribution of cigars for every- one present. Ed Kabernagel, as well as everyone else, enjoyed the tinkling of glasses as he tried to give his report as chairman of the publicity committee. Seems as if someone accidentally cre- ated a little noise by the tinkling of glasses when Ed was president a few years back. Ed has never forgotten it, and the way it looks now, the members will see to it that he never does.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The recent meetings of the B.M.P.A. have proved to be excellent contributions toward the continuation education program for pharmacists that we are trying to provide.
In October we were fortunate to have as a speaker Dr. Peter P. Lamy, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, whose subject was “New Developments in Pharmaceuticals.” Dr. Lamy reviewed the sub- ject of I.U.D. or intra-uterine devices and had samples of various devices on hand. He also spoke on DMSO which had been reported as effective in a wide range of conditions. Samples of the chemical from a number of sources were shown.
The important subject of “The Federal Drug Abuse Amendments of 1965” was presented to a large turnout of the membership by Joseph S. Kaufman, legal coun- sel for B.M.P.A. and M.P.A.
The pharmacists who attended these meetings and heard the discussion periods took advantage of opportunities for learning. It is our hope that even more mem- bers will attend the B.M.P.A. meetings which are planned to keep them informed.
At this time let me invite all of you to attend the B.M.P.A. Installation Dinner Meeting on January 13th. This is an occasion to honor those who devote time and effort to their profession. In addition, there is always an excellent message from an outstanding guest speaker.
On behalf of the B.M.P.A., I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the magnificent work of Dr. J. Wilfred Davis, Assistant Commissioner of Health, who has been in charge of the Baltimore City Medical Care program since 1948. We wish Dr. Davis well on his retirement and express our appreciation for his co- operation with the pharmacists of the City.
Sincerely,
MARION R. CHODNICKI President.

Pharmacists Responsibilities Under The Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965
By JOSEPH S. KAUFMAN
This talk was delivered at the Octo- ber meeting of the Eastern Shore Phar- maceutical Society, St. Michaels, Md.
President Johnson, on July 15, 1965, signed into law The Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965 which will become effective February 1, 1966. The bill pro- vides increased control over the distri- bution of barbiturates, amphetamines, and other drugs having a similar effect on the central nervous system. The con- trols are accomplished through in- creased record-keeping and inspection requirements and through providing for rules governing interstate traffic in these drugs because of its effect on in- terstate traffic. It would also make pos- session of these drugs illegal outside of the legitimate channels of commerce. Additionally, the bill increases the power and authority of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare over counterfeit drugs.
State control of the illicit distribution of barbiturates and amphetamines has been anything but uniform or effective. Since 1947 the State of Maryland has had more stringent regulations for bar- biturates which may have “an hypnotic or somneficient action”’(1) than other drugs. This legislation was designed ‘“‘to place upon manufacturers, wholesalers, licensed compounders of prescriptions, and persons prescribing such drugs a basic responsibility for preventing the improper distributing of such drugs... .” The statute required that the barbitu- rate be delivered only pursuant to a Se et

prescription and it be specially labelled. It prohibited “. . . possession of a bar- biturate by any person, unless such per- son obtained such drug or prescription
. .’ from a practitioner. Pharmacists were specifically required to inventory all stocks of barbiturates, all future re- ceipts of barbiturates, and to maintain careful records of all barbiturates dis- pensed by them. The State Board of Health was authorized to inspect the records of any pharmacist and was given the right to make an inventory of all stock of barbiturates on hand.
Although many states, including Maryland, had such legislation, the illicit traffic in these drugs flourished. Testimony at hearings on this new bill revealed that over nine billion barbitu- rate and amphetamine tablets are pro- duced annually in the United States, of which, it was estimated, that over fifty per cent, or four and one-half bil- lion tablets, are distributed through illicit channels.(2) It was shown that drug abuse was bound up with juvenile delinquency and that misuse of these drugs contributed to the rising rate of highway accidents.
On January 15, 1963, President Ken- nedy established the President’s Advis- ory Commission on Narcotic and Drug Abuse under the chairmanship of Judge EK. Barrett Prettyman. After extended hearings, research, and deliberation it recommended legislation along the lines of the new act. Similar legislation passed the U.S. Senate of 1964, but the House of Representatives had insuf- ficient time to consider the measure. President Johnson recommended this bill to the Congress this year, and it was supported by organized pharmacy and medicine.
Scope of Coverage This legislation immediately places barbiturates and amphetamines in the category of drugs subject to more stringent controls .

. The Secretary is now considering certain drugs, and previously certain
tranquilizers, within the _ classifica- tion.(3) Drugs which produce a hal- lucenogenic effect, if considered to con- tain potential abuse, will also be classi- fied similarly by the Secretary.(4)
The statute prohibits the possession of depressant or stimulant drugs except for a person’s personal use or for a member of his household. The provision has been carefully drafted so as to make it clear that the purpose is not to punish individual drug users, but rather to combat the illegal traffic in these drugs. The quantity of such a drug found in one’s possession would bear on the bona fide intent to use the drug for one’s self.
Record-Keeping and Inspection
Congress has sought to establish con- trols upon the distribution of depressant and stimulant drugs from the manu- facturer to the ultimate consumer. Each person in the chain of distribution shall maintain records for not less than three years with respect to the drugs covered by the bill and will make these records available for inspection. The legislation specifically provides ‘‘No sep- arate records, nor set form or forms for any of the foregoing records, shall be required as long as records containing the required information are avail- able.’(5) The purpose of this provision is to insure that the ordinary business records kept by legitimate businessmen will be considered as adequate records for the purpose of this legislation.(6)
Every pharmacist today is required by law to keep a complete record of all prescriptions which he fills. Therefore, the record-keeping requirements con- tained in this legislation impose no ad- ditional requirements upon pharmacists which are not already met under other
3 It is expected, for example, that peyote is a substance that will become subject to this legislation.

laws. Pharmacists maintain separate records on narcotics. It would seem to be good practice, although not specifi- cally required, to maintain separate files or other records with respect to drugs covered by this legislation. The mainte- nance of separate record files will in- sure that inspection authority granted by this act will extend only to those separate files or records. However, it is important to note that separate files or records are not mandatory.
Inspections are authorized by duly designated agents for the purpose of tracing the flow of these drugs from manufacturer to consumer or in order to pinpoint areas of diversion. Inspec- tions are an integral and essential part of the enforcement machinery, and be- cause of this fact, it is strongly urged that separate, complete and accurate records be constantly maintained. These records must be kept for a minimum of three (3) years.
It is mandatory that the pharmacist take an inventory of the drugs in ques- tion in his stock on February 1, 1966. Thereafter, he will be strictly account- able for all barbiturates, amphetamines and other designated drugs coming into his possession.
It is of particular interest to note that a physician who “regularly engages in dispensing any such drug or drugs to his patients for which they are charged, either separately or together with charges for other professional serv- ices’’(7) are subject to the same record- keeping and inspection responsibilities. While the bill exempts from the record- keeping and inspection requirements prectitioners who administer depressant or stimulant drug while acting in the course of their professiona! practice, it treats physicians who compound and dispense in the same fashion as phar- macists.

Limitations on Refills of Prescriptions
Testimony in committee revealed that one source of depressant and stimulant drugs for individuals involved in drug abuse were prescriptions which were un- limited, either as to duration or to the number of refills permitted. In order to correct this potential evil, no prescrip- tion can be renewed more than five times, and no prescription order may be dispensed or renewed more than siz months after the date of the original. Stimulant or depressant drugs still may be dispensed on either written or oral prescription (provided it is promptly reduced to writing and filed by the pharmacist). If a patient desires to have a prescription refilled beyond six months or after five refills, the prescrib- ing doctor may authorize additional re- fills, but the reauthorization itself be- comes subject to the same six months or five refills limitations.
Counterfeit Drugs
New enforcement powers have been given to the FDA to eliminate the im- minent danger of counterfeit drugs to the public health. These are not manu- factured under the controls or with the care that is taken for the legitimate drug it simulates and there is no guar- antee that the counterfeit drug con- tains the amount, quality and kind of ingredients the legitimate drug con- tains. It, like counterfeit money, is a fraud on the public.
Summary The Drug Abuse Control Amendment of 1965 provides for major changes in the enforcement of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. New controls have been established which are crucial to every pharmacist. Sufficient time has been
allotted to allow full opportunity for understanding of these new provisions. So

The Maryland Pharmacist
For The Profession We Serve
(By Leonard J. Dueker, President of the National Association of Retail Drug- gists, to the Joint Annual Meeting of the Maryland and New Jersey Phar- maceutical Associations, at Atlantic City, N.J., June 28, 1965).
I am pleased and gratified to have a part in this joint meeting of the Mary- land and New Jersey Associations. Your decision to convene together gives evi- dence of the kind of cooperation and unity of purpose which serves the high- est interests of our profession while con- tributing importantly to the collective and individual strength of the pharma- cists of both your states. The excellence of your programs and the accomplish- ments of your two organizations are known to a great many pharmacists all over America.
I would really be remiss if I failed to express my thanks to Leonard Rosen- stein, Vice-President of the N.A.R.D., for the contributions to the programs of the N.A.R.D. Since this meeting is being held in Leonard’s world-renowned home town.
There is another reason that impelled me to look forward to being with you, and that is the fact that Grover Bowles, President of the American Pharma- ceutical Association, also is here. As presidents of our respective organiza- tions, we have probably passed one an- other a great many times in high-flying airplanes; but the occasions have been all too scarce when we could physically share the same platform.
A.Ph.A. and N.A.R.D. Have Mutual Aims
Inescapably, there are those who view the American Pharmaceutical Associa- tion and the National Association of Retail Druggists as competitive groups. If I accomplish nothing else here today, I would like to lay at rest this mistaken concept and to clear up any misconcep- tion which might exist on the matter.
The N.A.R.D. and the A.Ph.A. were each created to serve pharmacy and
November 1965 289
pharmacists Both organizations are, I believe, earnestly engaged in efforts to do the best they can in their respective services to our profession. We share many of the same objectives and the or- ganizations exist to strengthen the same profession. The differences between us are traditional and they are based on the primary function of each associa- tion.
The differences between the two or- ganizations may, perhaps, be seen by making a comparison or two between President Bowles and myself. He, as most of you knovy, is a hospital pharma- cist. I have devoted my career in phar- macy to the ownership and operation of a community pharmacy. I am sure we can find agreement in the thought that both of these callings are vital to the performance of pharmacy’s broad role of service to humanity. Hospitals could hardly exist without on-premises phar- maceutical service. By the same token, a retail pharmacy represents an indis- pensable element in the protection of public health and community well- being.
The approaches which Grover Bowles and I might adopt with respect to a particular matter of professional or business interest will necessarily differ due to our varying commitments and function. A hospital pharmacist can pursue his career without ever owning a hospital, but a retail druggist, of neces- sity, must invest a substantial amount of money in store location, stock and inventory before he can serve his first customer. And he must take risks which the hospital pharmacist does not face. Nor does the fact that the hospital pharmacist as an employee makes no capital investment in the hopsital he serves make his services the more pro- fessional.
We in this room, and others like us throughout the country who are inde- pendent retail pharmacists, have a deep inteerst in professional excellence, since the quality of our services and the esteem of our customers depend largely
290 November 1965
on our professional competence. Addi- tionally, the independent pharmacist is under the necessity—in this free enter- prise system that characterizes America —of operating a profitable enterprise or ceasing to be a pharmacy proprietor. Anything which unjustly interferes with his opportunity to succeed constitutes a direct threat to his existence as an in- dependent retail pharmacist.
Since organizations are—or, I think, should be—refiections of the interests of the majority of their members, we find that these differences in emphasis con- dition the outlook of our respective as- sociations.
Take, for instance, the retail excise taxes on cosmetics, jewelry, leather goods and similar items. There is no reason for Grover Bowles to have more than a sympathetic interest in the problem. There is plenty of reason for me to be deeply engaged in an effort to have them repealed. You who are com- munity pharmacists know at first that the imposition of these taxes hurt your business and cost you precious time and effort to collect the taxes and to keep full records on them. The N.A.R.D. took leadership in this fight some years ago, when everybody thought there wasn’t a chance of victory in our time. As you know, President Johnson recently signed the repeal bill, and benefits should flow to every drug store in America, as well as to the American consumer.
The President recognized N.A.R.D.’s contribution to this repeal by inviting our own Williard B. Simmons, Execu- tive Secretary of the N.A.R.D., to attend the signing ceremony in the White House, and he gave Willard, as a mo- mento of the occasion, one of the pens he used in signing the repeal bill.
Views on Medicare Let’s look at Medicare. Grover Bowles and I surely agree that health services should certainly be available to all of our citizens. But we probably differ most strongly as to where they should
The Maryland Pharmacist
be available. When the Senate Finance Committee called hearings on Medicare, the bill contained a provision that seemed to make the hospital pharmacy the sole and exclusive dispenser of drugs for Medicare patients. You who are community pharmacists and, I think, most of you who are employed in com- munity pharmacies, will understand why the N.A.R.D. vigorously opposed this provision which seemed to play favorites between various classes of competitive enterprises. The N.A.R.D. took the position in the hearings, and still holds it, that if the Medicare pro- gram is to provide drugs the community pharmacy should be entitled to main- tain its historic position as the major source of medicaments. Diversion of this category of pharmaceutical service to non-taxpaying institutional outlets is, in our view, as unfair as it is economi- cally, socially and medically unwise.
Wants Practice Stopped
Of course, most of you are fully fa- miliar with hospital pharmacy-com- munity pharmacy competition. We all recognize that hospital pharmacies must be able to provide full and essential in- patient service; and we understand the basis upon which tax-free status is ac- corded the hospital by the Internal Revenue Service. But I find when insti- tutional pharmacies reach out into the marketplace and provide pharmaceuti- cal services to a broad classification of people who are generally carried in the status of “out-patients,” they compete against tax-paying community phar- macies. We believe this is an inequitable and untenable situation. We _ believe that neither logic nor fair play can countenance it. As far as I am con- cerned, and as far as the N.A.R.D. is concerned, the practice is destructive of community pharmacy and harmful to the interests of the 110,000 pharmacists —owners and employees—who depend on the community pharmacy for their livelihood. We say the practice must be stopped.
The Maryland Pharmacist
November 1965 291
Price Cutting
Let’s examine another difference. I want legislation — Federal legislation — that curbs the predatory price-cutting and misleading and deceptive practices that have made a jungle out of the marketplace and that threaten the ex- istence of the independent retail phar- macist. I have no idea of Grover Bowles’ position in this matter, but I do know that his career as a hospital pharmacist is in no way adversely affected by the unfair competitive practices I have just described. Further, I want branded pre- scription drugs covered by the Quality Stabilization bill, or by any other bill that may be considered to achieve the objectives of Quality Stabilization. I don’t go along with anyone in pharmacy who says that prescriptions should be excluded from that coverage.
The N.A.R.D. is fighting for YOU in this legislation. You can win if you work as hard as the druggists of the country did in helping to bring about excise tax repeal... or as hard as the Ohio phar- macists worked in getting that new fair trade law which was upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
Physicians in Pharmacy
Another problem we community phar- macists are struggling with relates to the ethics involved in physicians profit- ing from the sale or dispensing of medi- cines. In our time, the American Medi- cal Association had a policy which de- plored the economic involvement of a physician in the dispensing or selling of medicines. This policy virtually prohib- ited a physician from being the owner— in whole or in part—of a drug store. Now, however, the situation is changed. No longer does the A.M.A. feel that physician ownership of a drug store raises questions of ethical propriety. I think that there is general agreement in pharmacy that the best interests of the professions, and of the public, would be served if the A.M.A. returned to its original position.
Various Activities
The sweep of the N.A.R.D.’s activities looking to the advancement of com- munity pharmacy extends into other areas with which the hospital pharma- cist may or may not identify himself. For example, we of N.A.R.D. feel that the owner of a pharmacy should be re- quired by law to be a registered pharma- cist. We have prepared a model bill em- bodying this objective for introduction in state legislatures.
Again, for example, we believe strongly that the best interests of the profession of pharmacy lie in making the drug store stronger and more prosperous and, therefore, enabling it to create ever ex- panding opportunities for the employ- ment of registered pharmacists and, let us not forget, enabling more and more pharmacists to own their own pharmacies. Toward this end, we do everything we can to help the com- munity pharmacist in merchandising, advertising, sales promotion, store man- agement and the other essentials of profitable business procedure. Drug store sales volume in 1964 was $91, billions. It may reach $10 billions this year. We want it to grow. We will not recommend that a present be made to our non-drug competitors of any part of this business.
NARD Policy Explained
Finally, we come to the matter of as- sociation policy. In order to be an active member of the N.A.R.D., one must own a drug store. The requirement is no ac- cident. It was installed as a membership qualification at the inception of our association and it has had the effect of keeping the interest of N.A.R.D. directly and continuously aligned with that of community pharmacists since the N.A.R.D. was organized just 67 years ago. Inescapably, of course, the N.A.R.D. officers and our Executive Committee are all pharmacists and owners of retail drug stores. Because of our community of interest, it should not be surprising, then, that the policies, positions and program activities of the N.A.R.D. are,
292 November 1965
The Maryland Pharmacist
as they have been and will continue to be, directly attuned to the needs of in- dependent pharmacy and of retail phar- macists. I might point out that any pharmacist employed by our active members can qualify for associate mem- bership.
The owner of a pharmacy faces prob- lems unique to him and, therefore, often vastly different from those confronting the institutional pharmacist. By pro- tecting the interests of the independent retail pharmacist, we believe we are pro- tecting the fundamental interests of our profession. Pharmacists who have built businesses do more than serve their cus- tomers and their communities; they provide the training ground for new- comers in the field of pharmacy. They are the closest modern approximation of the preceptors of old who passed on the science and art of pharmacy from generation to generation.
The profession of pharmacy is most useful to humanity when it is most local in application. The corner drug store is more than a real estate phrase or just another business: it is a practi- cal demonstration of the relationship which has always in the past, and should always in the future, guarantee ready availability of health services to people wherever they live—in the big- gest cities and in the smallest hamlets.
Conclusions
Our field is fortunate in having fine and valuable organizations among which are the American Pharmaceutical As- sociation, the Pharmaceutical Manufac- turers Association, the associations of drug wholesalers and—modestly putting my own last in this brief listing—the National Association of Retail Druggists. Certainly, we all share the common ob- jective of improving the effectiveness and the value of pharmacy. Each of us may choose to follow a somewhat dif- ferent course in the attainment of the common objective, but each in his own way has a significant contribution to make in the furtherance of the profes-
sion. There are, in fact, more interests, programs and activities that bind us to- gether than those which tend to divide us. Let us not forget this—for a single minute.
Rivalry is health, whether between in- dividuals, institutions, establishments or organizations — or even governments — and is good because enlightened rivalry stimulates us in the pursuit of excel- lence and thereby produces more useful service to others and accomplishes the high purpose of our profession.
Each makes his own judgment as to the best course to follow, and, having made his decision, he will pursue his course with energy, industry and single- minded dedication. No one can ask more of either an individual or an organiza- tion. As we follow our individual courses, however, there will be those who mis- take differences in viewpoint as differ- ences in overall objective. That such erroneous interpretations will be made is inescapable; it is nonetheless regret- table.
Pharmacy has not attained eminence because its practitioners were, or are, always in full agreement. Almost with- out exception every discovery in our field—and in every other field, if you please—has had to overcome a prevail- ing contrary view long held and cher- ished by others. The knowledge which makes up our body of science and art represents progress painstakingly made in the face of widely different and diver- gent views. This is not only the nature of progress of pharmacy; it is also that of all the sciences—indeed also of de- mocracy itself. We have good reason, all of us, to hope that the day never comes when conformity is imposed by the few on the many who inhabit the planet Earth.
Unless people have freedom to dis- agree, they have no freedom. And where there is no freedom there will be no progress.
In this period in the history of the world—this fantastic era of amazing progress and change — pharmacy is
The Maryland Pharmacist

changing, too. So is that portion of pharmacy represented by the communi- ty pharmacy. The nature of the changes become visible slowly or fast, as the case may be. Population in terms of numbers as well as of geographical con- centration is increasing at a rate which inspires fears in many—and in the eyes of others creates opportunities waiting to be embraced and exploited. The role of government is being enlarged dra- matically. Anyone who would undertake to forecast the kind of society we, or our successors, will be living in as the night of the 20th century ends and the dawn of the 21st century breaks over the horizon of time, is either an in- curable optimist or a confident practi- tioner of the ancient art of divination.
As our social structures are constantly adapted to new demands from, and needs of more people and to new inter- national stresses and strains, the many professions on which humanity depends for survival—pharmacy included—must also be adapted to the developing reali-
ties which will come to exist. The chal- lenge to humanity is the external chal- lenge of environment. We must accom- modate ourselves to change—profession- al, social, political, economic, cultural.
There are countless ways in which our profession can be strengthened. There are, perhaps, at least as many ways which could well operate to our professional disadvantage. Control is no synonym for cooperation. Central au- thority, however enlightened, is no satisfactory substitute for voluntary personal involvement in pharmacy and for devotion to the profession. If we in- tend to continue to move forward—as, of course, we do—we must move for- ward together because we need the total talent and strength. This and this alone is the sure way to continued prog- ress for our profession and for its 120,- 000 practitioners today as well as the untold numbers who will wear the pro- fessional mantle of pharmacy in the years to come.

A.Ph.A.—M.P.A. Student Chapter News
There was a Business and Special Meeting of the Student Chapter on Tuesday, October 12, at the School of Pharmacy.
Among the items discussed at the Business Meeting were the new course which will be offered, entitled “Com- parative Pharmacognosy,” and the an- nouncement of the speaker for the No- vember meeting, who will be Major Leroy D. Werley, Chief Pharmaceutical Consultant to the USAF Surgeon Gen- eral’s Office.
The Special Meeting consisted of the showing of slides entitled “The Pharma- cist as a Health Educator” which were produced by the American Pharma- ceutical Association with a grant from E. R. Squibb & Sons.
These slides, which were given their world premier last July at the Interna- tional Conference on Health and Health Education in Madrid, Spain, traced the history of health education programs and showed the scope of the communi- ty pharmacy as a health center.
Because of various surveys and inter- est shown by the public, the pharmacy has been established as a public health center. Also, a continuous Service is pro- vided to pharmacists to keep them ac- quainted with newer and better health ideas.
It is clear that interest is also begin- ning to build in foreign countries.

HYNSON, WESTCOTT & DUNNING, INC. has announced the availability of Thantis, a new throat lozenge. This will be packaged in an attractive, new Dispenser-Pak, containing a roll of 25 individual foil-wrapped lozenges.
Designed for compact storage, the new package provides aseptic dispensing of one or more lozenge for convenient carrying in pocket or handbag.
THE UPJOHN CO. has announced a new antibiotic which is now ready for pharmacological studies in humans. As a result of chemical maneuvering, the company scientists were able to pack four times more potency into the Lincocin molecule. The basic formula consists of shaving one of the four hydroxye (OH) groups from the drug’s structure and replacing it with a chlo- rine atom.
After much searching and disappoint- ment, the Upjohn chemists were able to take on this problem of chlorination through a direct approach, with good results, and the knowledge that it can be applied to many relatives of Lin- cocin.

This is an ad for a DEAL!
What kind of a deal is this? No screaming headlines about profit or fast turnover...no blazing color pic- tures of displays...no pretty girls or babies! Why?
Well, to tell the truth this ad con- cerns a deal about castor oil! Castor oil, ugh! But wait...this isn’t just ordinary castor oil, that vile tasting stuff that maybe killed your taste for orange juice when you were a kid. This is a deal for a castor oil that tastes so good, people taking it often don’t realize what it is.
This ad, then, is about a deal for NEOLOID™ Emulsified Castor Oil, Lederle. NEOLOID is an “effec- tive, stable, aqueous emulsion of castor oil U.S.P. 36.4% (w/w), of agreeable mint-flavored taste...” NEOLOID is creamy white, doesn’t look like castor oil and even the thick oiliness is gone. Taste it yourself, if you think we’re kidding.
So what’s the deal?
Buy a Display-Pak of twelve NEOLOID 4 fl. oz. bottles for $5.06 —the usual cost for 11 bottles. At the list price of 77¢, you'd receive $9.24,
for a profit of $4.18 ... better than 45%. The deal’s available through your regular source of supply until further notice.
Now...How can you sell NEOLOID?
Believe it or not, about $1,500,000 worth of castor oil is sold each year. Castor oil is still the preferred agent and is so specified by physicians for pre-x-ray bowel cleaning, as well as for the usual laxative action in con- stipation. So, when customers ask for castor oil, do them a favor—offer them NEOLOID. They’ll be so pleased with NEOLOID, instead of the awful stuff, that you may have done yourself a favor, too, by creat- ing a friend and regular customer. You can recommend NEOLOID with confidence...it’s widely used in hospitals.
So, remember NEOLOID when you have to think of castor oil. Check your Lederle catalog for complete information and order a NEOLOID deal or two promptly. Lederle Labo- ratories, A Division of American Cyanamid Co., Pearl River, N. Y.

NO QUICK SOLUTIONS
Those of us who have been laboring for a number of years in behalf of the profession of pharmacy know there are no quick solution, no easy paths, no miraculous panaceas, to the problems of pharmacy. Those who have consistently devoted themselves to advancing the interests of pharmacy as a profession whose essence is pharmaceutical services to the sick, have long realized that progress requires an understanding of the complex factors influencing every facet of our society and the rejection of narrow self-interest.
For the profession of pharmacy, progress will be the result of continuous efforts along several lines, among them:
1. Organized group efforts of pharmaceutical associations in the areas of public education, public relations, professional relations, governmental rep- resentation, and legislation.
2. Individual efforts and conduct: pharmacists in their relations with and their effect upon their lay patrons, governmental officials and other health professionals influence the fate of pharmacy. Not only the kind of pro- fessional behavior the pharmacist exhibits, but the appearance of his pharmacy, both inside and outside, affects the chances for obtaining the goals sought individually and collectively.
Obviously, any one of the factors listed above cannot alone achieve the progress or the solutions that are sought. We must pursue our goals down all these paths simultaneously and persistently. As the General Assembly of Mary- land is in session during the first quarter of the year, we are bound to consider legislative approaches to our problems at this time.
The Executive Committee of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association has approved the reintroduction of most of the 1965 M.P.A. legislative program, plus a proposal to curtail the advertising of professional services by pharmacists.
The 1966 legislative program includes:
1. A definition of the “practice of pharmacy”;
2. A definition of “a pharmacy”;
3. Investing the Maryland Board of Pharmacy with the ability to make rules and regulations in accordance with law;
4. A prohibition of advertising of professional services except as specified.
With health services in this country developing along new patterns, phar- macy is facing unprecedented challenges to its professional and economic life. All kinds of governmental, group and mercantile enterprises are eroding the opportunities for the practice of a pharmacy as a free, independent profession.
Pharmacy in Maryland urgently requires the enactment of this basic, modest legislative program in order to begin to meet both outgoing and emerging problems.
Unless we define the “practice of pharmacy” and what “a pharmacy” is at this time, we face the possibility of many new kinds of practices and establish- ments proliferating which are not in the best interests of the profession or the public.
The Maryland Pharmacist December 1965 309
Unless we grant the profession’s own licensing and regulatory body the ability to make rules and regulations, the profession will not be able to meet new situations promptly and appropriately. Pharmacy cannot hope to exist as a free, independent profession if it is necessary to run to Annapolis every year seeking legislation every time a new, unforseen, undesirable development of a major or minor nature occurs,
The Board of Pharmacy is appointed by the Governor from nominees of the M.P.A.—the State professional pharmaceutical association. The Board consists of thoroughly experienced pharmacists with a sincere commitment to the wel- fare of the profession and public equal to that of any other pharmacists. In order for the Board to be in a position to meet the complex situations of today it must be able to promulgate regulations.
All rules and regulations proposed by any State Board require prior ap- proval by the Attorney-General and must be brought before a public hearing after advance notice. A strict administrative procedure prevents adoption of arbitrary rules and protects the interests of both profession and public from unreasonable regulations.
An informed and far-sighted membership will acknowledge the compelling reasons for seeking passage of this essential legislation as a basic first step for professional progress—and survival!

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
In the age in which we live we surely can see the influence that organized groups have on every facet of life in this country. That is why it is so important to awaken every pharmacist and every one allied with the drug industry to the necessity of developing a state-wide pharmaceutical association to its maximum possible strength.
The MPA Membership Committee under Vice-President Milton A. Friedman is planning an all-out campaign in 1966 to bring to every pharmacist this im- portant message:
1. Pharmacy can only make progress through exerting strength of numbers. Numerical and financial backing will permit our pharmaceutical asso- ciation to represent the profession even more effectively before legislators, government officials, medical administrators and other health professions.
2. Virtually all advancement for pharmacy in Maryland has been a result of the organized efforts of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association.
3. The first professional responsibility of every pharmacist is two-fold. This is to join his state professional pharmaceutical association and to do everything possible to get his pharmacist colleagues and friends to join also.
Over the years the M.P.A., through the work of dedicated leaders and the support of devoted members, has achieved a steady increase in professional rec- ognition for pharmacists. Representation has been obtained on the State Board of Health, the State Council on Medical Care, State Advisory Council on Hospital Licensing and other government agencies. The M.P.A. is being called upon more and more often to participate with the medical profession in many projects of mutual interest.
An outstanding example of the fruits of the well organized efforts of your Association are the joint meetings with representatives of medicine, dentistry, nursing homes and hospitals on the budget for the State Medical Care Program. A united front was presented to Governor Tawes and his staff, which reflected favorably on the position of pharmacy. Joint meetings also have been held with our legislators in Congress on national legislation.
Your fellow pharmacists who serve as officers, chairmen and committee members give freely and willingly of their time and energies in behalf of phar- macy. Together with the M.P.A. staff—Secretary Gruz and Legal Counsel Joseph Kaufman—a great deal has been accomplished.
At this time, therefore, I appeal to everyone in pharmacy to support the M.P.A. and its programs. They are designed only to advance pharmacy and pub- lic health. If you have any questions regarding the M.P.A. activities or any prob- lem in pharmacy, feel free to call on me or the Secretary. Every effort will be made to assist you.
Sincerely,
real
President

Class of 1925 Reunion
The Belvedere Hotel was the scene of a lively 40-year Reunion of the Class of 1925 of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, on December 12.
Mathias Palmer, President of the class and now a partner in McComas & Palmer Pharmacy, was an efficient and amusing Master of Ceremonies.
Speakers included Dr. John C. Krantz, Jr., retired Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmacology of the School of Medicine, who was pre- sented with a gift, and Dr. B. Olive Cole, America’s “first lady of phar- macy”, who also received a token of the class’s appreciation.
Dr. Noel E. Foss, present Dean of the School, was a guest and the recipient of a similar token. Dr. Foss spoke to the group about the phenomenal growth of the Baltimore Campus and the won- derful things he sees in the future for the profession of Pharmacy and the School.
There was much reminiscing, of course, about what it was like to work as a pharmacist during the ’20’s and ’30’s, and about the almost incredible strides which have been made in the chemical and manufacturing ends of the profession; it was even pointed out that some of the members present owe their very lives to some of the recent drug discoveries. Every member of the class contributed at least a few words to the log.
Those present will remember espe- cially the humorous remarks of Drs. Alessi, Shulman and Snyder, and of pharmacists McComas, Kling, Kramer, Levinson and Serpick. Messrs. Raichlen and Small added warm accounts of their families and Mr. Kroopnick re- cited some of his own poetry. There was even the piccolo playing of Mr. Cooper. Notable as well was the glam- our of the ladies and the popping of Herman Bloom’s flashbulbs.
Reluctant to leave and determined to meet again soon, assembled members of the Class of 1925, University of
Maryland School of Pharmacy, resolved to keep alive the spirit of reunions; it is good for classmates and wonder- ful for pharmacy. Herman Kling served as reporter for the reunion. uke

The Facts About Counterfeit Drugs
GEORGE W. THOMPSON, JR. Chief of Consumer Protection, Smith, Kline and French Laboratories
I’m here to talk about counterfeits. Not counterfeit money—the Secret Service takes care of that—but counter- feit drugs.
I’m sure you’ve got some questions in your mind about counterfeit drugs. Are they really a problem? Who makes them, and why? How are they distrib- uted? How can you spot them? How dangerous are they?
I'll try to answer these questions, and possibly some others on the way.
First, some definitions: Counterfeit drugs are drugs made by unscrupulous people—I won’t dignify these people by calling them manufacturers—with the deliberate intent of deceiving the phar- macist and his patrons. Counterfeit drugs are made to look as much like the authentic product as possible.
Counterfeit drugs shouldn’t be con- fused with imitations—drugs made to look approximately like well known trade marked products, but usually without fake monograms and other copies of a manufacturer’s special iden- tifying marks.
How Big is the Problem?
How much of a problem are the coun- terfeit drugs? To answer that question, I’d like to give you a statement by George P. Larrick, United States Com- missioner of Food and Drugs. Mr. Lar- rick is the government’s top man in the drug field. He described the drug counterfeiting situation as: ‘“potenti- ally explosive. Unless constant vigilance is maintained (drug counterfeiting) could get out of hand to the detriment of public health and welfare.”
Recent experience in New York also demonstrates the scope of the problem. During 1963—the last year for which we have complete records—State Board of Pharmacy Inspectors in New York
picked up 131 different samples of spurious drugs. They included such leading medications as SKF’s “Dexamyl” Spansule capsules, Robins’ “Donnatal’’, Abbott’s ‘Nembutal’, Squibb’s ‘“Raudixin”, SKF’s “Dex- edrine” Spansule capsules and CIBA’s “Serpasil’”’.
Unquestionably, the number of coun- terfeit drugs is small compared to the vast number of legitimate drugs manu- factured, prescribed and dispensed every day in the United States. But counterfeit drugs are an ever-present threat and, from all indications, a grow- ing threat. Robert F. Kennedy, the Junior Senator from New York, has this to say: “Counterfeiting of new and potent drugs is on the increase. If per- mitted to go on unchecked, it could lead to chaos in the marketing of new drugs and will inevitably result in a public health hazard.”
Motivation of Counterfeiters
What motivates the drug counter- feiter? Why does he engage in his ne- farious trade?
Very simply, he’s an unscrupulous crook out to make a fast buck at the expense of the pharmacist and the pub- lic. He picks a well-known, high vol- ume, trademarked item, makes an in- ferior, cheap copy and sells it to the unsuspecting pharmacist or whole- saler. He’s part of the same movement that has produced a rash of counter- feits and imitations of well-known items outside the drug field. Notable examples include fake Bulova watches, fake Arrow shirts, bogus auto parts, copies of expensive perfumes such as ‘Arpege’ and ‘My Sin’ and even ‘Vi- talis’, the well known hair dressing.
A few years ago, counterfeiting of drugs was the work of criminals who
The Maryland Pharmacist
December 1965 317
were essentially amateurs—shady op- erators who were on the fringe of leg- ality. Today, we are confronted with a much more dangerous situation. The modern counterfeiter is a skillful crimi- nal with capital at his command. He may, for instance, buy his raw ma- terials in Europe.
How Bad are Counterfeits?
Many pharmacists have asked just how bad the counterfeits are. The most charitable thing I can say is that their quality is variable and that they are often frankly adulterated. It’s not un- usual to find counterfeit drugs which are 50 percent of the strength claimed on the label. “Quality control” are two words that counterfeiters never heard of. “Manufacturing” is done in garages, in machine shops, in rented ware- houses—wherever a tableting or cap- sule-filling machine can be set up in a hurry and moved rapidly to avoid detection. One particularly ingenious operator set up shop in some one else’s factory by going in after the regular business day and using the equipment at night.
Obviously, these fast buck operators have little concern for the therapeutic value of their products. They worry about the appearance because that may determine the salability of the mer- chandise. But, since they are riding on another man’s reputation, they couldn’t care less about pharmaceuti- cal composition and the possible effect on the patient who takes their pro- duct. Looking at a photograph of a counterfeit factory taken some years ago, one can note the unsanitary con- ditions, the actual filth. I don’t see how one could expect to make bicycles in such plants, let alone prescription drugs.
Tests of Drug Composition
One can demonstrate the quality control problem. Taking two apparently identical tablets, one of which is a counterfeit and the other a genuine SKF tablet, one can see that ‘Dexedrine’ tablets are, for example fireproof. If
however, I ignite the counterfeit tablet, it melts and burns, resulting in a sticky residue. I think you’ll agree that such a dramatic difference in charac- teristics must be the result of an equal- ly dramatic difference in pharmaceuti- cal composition.
If the counterfeit melts and burns, and the genuine product does not, who can say what important therapeutic differences there may be?
There is another method of demon- strating the difference. In a graph de- signed to show the in vitro release pat- tern of a genuine, two-ingedient SKF ‘Spansule’ capsule, the two ingredients release at the same rate, and the curve is smooth over the seven hour test period.
One line in the graph represents one ingredient in the counterfeit version of the SKF ‘Dexamyl’ Spansule capsule. At the end of a half hour, 85% of this ingredient is released and, at the end of three hours, the total amount is re- leased. The other ingredient—repre- sented by another line, is 40 percent released at one-half hour, but, at the end of seven, only half released. These data were obtained using a standard test apparatus.
With the genuine SKF ‘Spansule’ capsule the two ingredients released to- gether over a prolonged period of time. With the fake copy, the two ingredients were released at widely divergent rates. One ingredient was gone in three hours and the other failed to release at the end of seven.
Threat Posed to Patients
Frequently, these counterfeit products can offer a very real danger to sick people. For instance, badly under- strength ‘Premarin’ was offered for sale some years ago—a very dangerous situ- ation. Counterfeits of ‘Orinase’, the oral antidiabetic, have been discovered in Canada.
To a very large extent the same prob- lem exists with imitations or ‘“look- alikes”. As I indicated above, these are products made to look like well-known
318 December 1965
trademarked items, but without the manufacturer’s special identifying marks, such as a monogram.
Imitations and “look alikes” are an increasing threat. These products are a more subtle form of fakery than out- right counterfeiting, but they are no less pernicious. Let me explain why they are so evil. We know that many of them are grossly understrength. A physician prescribes a drug for his patient. Instead of dispensing the trade- marked item the physician prescribed, the occasional dishonest pharmacist dispenses an understrength “look alike’. The substitute drug is ineffective, the patient fails to recover, and the physi- cian decides, quite wrongly, that the product he prescribed is no good. There’s enough variability in patient reactions to a drug’s effect without add- ing the problem of understrength, adulterated, or differently formulated drugs to bedevil the doctor.
The Problem of Recognition
Granted that counterfeits are dan- gerous, how does the pharmacist rec- ognize these bogus drugs? The answer to this problem is very simple. There is no way that the pharmacist can dis- tinguish between the expert counter- feit and the authentic product. In an enlarged photograph of counterfeit ‘Dexedrine’ Spansule capsules, the capsules look the same, the label is identical, the bottle caps are identical, and the bogus medicine even had a pre- Scribing circular as required by Fed- eral law. The circular was as bogus as the rest.
It’s interesting to note that the mod- ern counterfeiter of drugs is helped by many of the new photo offset print- ing techniques that also help the coun- terfeiter of money. That’s why the peo- ple who copied the ‘Dexedrine’ Span- sule capsule to which I referred were able to duplicate so precisely labels and prescribing folders. They even used an authentic SKF lot number.
Before the counterfeiter can make money with his bogus drugs he must,
The Maryland Pharmacist
obviously, sell them to someone. To do this, he hawks his products to the un- suspecting pharmacist or wholesaler. He does so by calling his wares ‘“dis- tress merchandise” or “special deal” products.
How Are Counterfeits Sold?
Let’s look at these claims in some- what more detail. In order to protect the public who must have confidence in the medications it buys, and in order to protect pharmacists who must be certain about the quality of the drugs they dispense, leading drug manufac- turers go to considerable lengths to be certain that all products bearing their names are, in fact, what they are pur- ported to be. To this end, products which have been involved in any dis- stress or disaster situation never are knowingly permitted to remain on the market. For instance, when a natural disaster occurs, such as the earthquake in Alaska last year, leading drug manu- facturers—by definition, the ones whose drugs are counterfeited—replenish lost or damaged, uninsured stock.
The same holds true for distress mer- chandise. Suppose, for example, a phar- macist in Northeast Philadelphia de- cClares himself bankrupt. He—or his creditors—would be able to return un- used supplies of prescription drugs and receive what had been paid for them.
In both cases, drug manufacturers ultimately pick up the tab, and do it willingly. Needless to say, the costs involved in programs of this sort are great, but SKF and the other manufac- turers are glad to absorb them in order to protect their good names, to main- tain the confidence of doctors in their products, and to protect the public health.
Steps Toward Solving the Problem
Government agencies and voluntary associations such as the National Phar- maceutical Council are trying to make counterfeiting more difficult by tighten- ing the various state laws and regula- tions. The National Pharmaceutical

Council, for instance, has developed a model counterfeiting law which it is hoping that state pharmaceutical as- sociations will urge on legislators. The law provides for fines and imprison- ment for convicted counterfeiters and passers. In addition, legislation has been introduced in Congress this year, the Harris Bill, which strengthens Fed- eral anti-counterfeiting laws.
N.P.C. secretary Wilbur E. Powers has an important comment. Says Mr. Pow- ers—who, incidentally, is a former State board secretary—‘In the final analysis, stamping out counterfeiting can only be complete and successful if every pharmacist cooperates The counter- feiter’s target is the pharmacist. If the pharmacist is alert and cooperative, law enforcement agencies will be able to handle the problem.”’ William E. Woods, an official of the N.P.C., puts it an- other way. Says Mr Woods, “In this field of professional sabotage it is not the manufacturer alone who suffers... the public peril is present wherever counterfeit drugs are dispensed.”
Summary
I’d like to review a few of the points I’ve made and specify a few actions that pharmacists can take to eliminate the evil of counterfeiting.
Counterfeit drugs are illegal copies of the trademarked products of the lead- ing manufacturers. They are made by men who are both unscrupulous and dishonest. Counterfeits and imitations or “look-alikes” are of dubious quality and often overtly dangerous. The pur- veyor of drugs who comes to the phar- macy with distress or bargain mer- chandise may well be a purveyor of counterfeits.
I would urge pharmacists—as pro- fessional men—to avoid the dealers in cheap drug products. The American Professional Pharmacist recently print- ed an article written in cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration, listing seven ways that pharmacists can
avoid being duped by the passers of counterfeits. I commend these steps to pharmacists:
1. Buy all drugs from only known sources whose reliability is beyond question.
2. Buy drugs only containers.
3. Avoid buying a small supply of a drug which the seller claims was taken from “the big-sized original bottle.”
4. Report at once—to the police—the name of any person who offers to buy empty original manufacturers’ containers—particularly of fast-mov- ing and expensive drugs... or large sizes such as 500’s and 1000’s.
5. Beware of any person who offers to sell a drug at an unreasonably low price, claiming it to be a “close-out’’ or “distress merchandise”’.
6. Always get invoices from sources supplying you with drugs.
7. Contact the F.D.A. regarding any drug vendor or any drug product which arouses your suspicion.
in original, sealed
In addition, I would suggest to any pharmacist encountering a _ possible counterfeit that he make the “buy” and obtain an invoice, if possible, and a description of the seller. The car li- cense plate number is also helpful. Then the pharmacist should get in touch with the manufacturer concerned. Of course, I can’t speak for other pre- scription drug firms, but SKF has a policy of reimbursing pharmacists for their expenses in cases like this.
In conclusion, I’d like to sum up the best rule for avoiding trouble with coun- terfeit products. It can be done in one phrase: “know your suppliers and deal only with reputable, local suppliers you know.”

Dr. Apple Talks on Education and Manpower Needs of Pharmacy
If pharmacy takes the initiative in developing required standards of con- tinuing professional competence for its practitioners, then it will not have to worry about loss of public confidence or corrective legislative action, said William S Apple, Executive Director of the American Pharmaceutical Associa- tion. He was speaking at a recent meet- ing of the Wisconsin Pharmacy Insti- tute in Madison, at which he was awarded a University of Wisconsin Cita- tion, an extremely high honor.
Dr. Apple asked, “What if the pro- fession imposed the standard that all graduates subsquent to 1965 had to complete four weeks of continuing edu- cation in residence annually? A genera- tion from now our profession could boast of the qualifications of a majority of its practitioners. The majority who now are permitting their education to terminate as soon as they are licensed would then be a minority.” He con- tinued, ““We need to begin immediately a continuing education program that will guarantee the professional com- petency of future generations of phar- macists.”
He also outlined the manpower situ- ation in pharmacy, asking the pointed questions, ‘Do we have enough phar- macists today; will we have enough five years, ten years, from now?” Dr. Apple talked of experts who analyse such needs, and claims that they are looking at how much of the profes- sions’ capacity is being utilized—not how many half-time practitioners it has. He pointed out that pharmacy will lose out on funds being made available | to educate professionals, or to build | new facilities for education because a case cannot be made for doubling the ) number of people who do not practice

their profession full-time. Nursing homes and hospitals were mentioned as being excellent and needy sources of full-time professional pharmaceutical positions.

Columbia University, College of Pharmacy Enters Field of Hyperbaric Pharmaceutics
Dr. Spiro P. Loucas, Assistant Pro- fessor of Chemistry at the Columbia University College of Pharmacy, has been involved in recent research projects in Hyperbaric Oxygenation at Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York.
Hyperbaric oxygenation denotes the inhalation of an air mixture with an oxygen content greater than normally found at ordinary atmospheric condi- ditions. Hyperbaric therapy is admin- istered in a chamber which allows am- bient pressure to be elevated. Research in the million dollar hyperbaric cham- ber at Mt. Sinai has indicated that these procedures are effective in treat- ing carbon monoxide poisoning, anaero- bic infections, gas gangrene and tetanus. Hyperbaric treatment is viewed as a potentially valuable therapeutic procedure in vascular _ insufficiency, coronary occlusion and cardiac surgery.
The high pressure build-up in the chamber poses certain problems in ad- ministering medicinal agents in con- ventional pharmaceutical dosage forms. As a result of the pressure in the cham- ber, special procedures had to be de- vised for withdrawing medication from multiple dose vials. Suitable replace- ments had to be determined for volatile medicinals and anesthetics, and special precautions were necessary for the vari- ous types of sealed containers used in the chamber.
Dean Joseph L. Kanig has announced that the Graduate Division of the Col- lege of Pharmacy has prepared a pro- gram in Hyperbaric Pharmaceutic Re- search whereby graduate students may perform some of their research within the hyperbaric facilities at Mt. Sinai Hospital under the direction of Dr. Loucas.

In keeping with the modern trend of increased emphasis on the science and decreased emphasis on the art of phar- macy, the name of this classic text- reference has been changed.
This pharmacy encyclopedia is de- signed not only as an introduction to pharmacy for students but also has many features which make it indispen- sable as a reference for the practition- ers of pharmacy.
Technicians and those involved in re- search and similar activities will appre- ciate the wealth of data, illustrations, and references to literature.
This book is divided into ten parts— Orientation (ethics, etc.), Physical Pharmacy (isotonicity, etc.), Phar- maceutical Manufacturing (parenteral preparations, etc.), Pharmaceutical Chemistry (natural products, etc.), Pharmaceutical Products (topical drugs, etc.), Biological Products (allergenic extracts, etc.), Radiopharmacy (medi- cal applications of, etc.), Testing and Analysis (official, etc.), Professional Practice (services, etc.) and Appendix (Manufacturer’s and alphabetical in- dex).
In brief, this new treatise in an ex- cellent publication, worthy of careful reading (if one has the time) and val- uable as a ready reference for certain practicing pharmacists (if they are able to lift the book).

The Golden Jubilee by Joe Hugg
T.A.M.P.A.’s Golden Jubilee—it was billed as, and it was really—an evening to remember. It has been the custom for many years in T.A.M.P.A. to re- serve or to set aside an evening in the Fall which has become known as “Ladies’ Night.’’ This year, in celebra- tion of the 50th Anniversary of T.A.M.P.A., “Ladies’ Night” was billed as a Golden Jubilee Banquet. The loca- tion was Blue Crest North; the date was Thursday, November 11, and the time was 7 o’clock until Midnight
This has to go down in the records as one of—if not the—most memorable nights in T.A.M.P.A.’s history. A record number of pharmacists participated and contributed much to a pleasurable eve- ning. Almost 300 people were in at- tendance. The evening started off with a cocktail hour from 7 to 8 p.m. fol- lowed by a delicious dinner.
Music furnished by the Jay Herman Orchestra encouraged dancing until 10:00, at which time a surprise. five- act variety show was presented. This turned out to be a few acts which were

first seen in Atlantic City at the time of the State Convention last June. They were most entertaining and certainly well received by those in attendance. The show opened with Joe Hugg’s interpretation of Robert Goulet sing- ing “Begin to Love”; Howard Dixon performed as Andy Williams, Perry Como and Dean Martin; Al Callahan, Larry Rorapaugh, Sheeler Read, and Wilson Spilker came on as a barber- shop quartet. Mrs. Howard (Charlotte) Dixon stole everyone’s heart as Madame Butterfly and Howard Dixon, Bill Nel-

son, and Frank Watkins wound up the show as “The Tampests.” Joe Hugg was Master of Ceremonies.
Music and dancing followed until Midnight. The music was excellent, which was evidenced by a full dance floor for most numbers. Plunder bags were available for every lady in at- tendance; a souvenir gift was also pre- sented to each lady.
The entire evening was further em- bellished by the presence of the fol- lowing honored guests: M.P.A. Presi- dent Al Ogrinz, B.M.P.A. President Milton Chodnicki, Secretary Nathan Gruz, Alumni President Harold Levin, and Drug Control Chief Frank Balas- sone. These gentlemen all were accom- panied by their wives, who certainly added charm and graciousness to the occasion.
Dean Foss was out of town, but was capably and charmingly represented by Mrs. Foss.
It was certainly an evening to re- member and can be summed up by the following expression which was heard frequently as the guests were leaving: ‘“‘Let’s do this again—and real soon.”

Every pharmacy owner is a business manager. As such, his objective is to operate a financially successful phar- macy. Part of the formula for success is planning, and effective planning pre- supposes adequate knowledge of the business.
The Lilly Analysis Service provides the pharmacist with a personal, com- prehensive report of his operation. Comparisons with averages of similar pharmacies indicate areas which may be considered for improvement.
The report is entirely confidential and promptly returned. It contains a sum- mary page of operations tabulated by computers, general and specific com- ments and, if indicated, suggestions based on the successful experiences of practicing pharmacists.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
As a result of the work of the B.M.P.A. Pharmacy Committee, under the chairmanship of Irvin Kamenetz, a letter was developed and mailed to all physi- cians in the Greater Baltimore area. The letter alerted physicians to the unethi- cal practice of some giant establishments that circulate lists of prices which they will use in dispensing prescriptions.
It was pointed out that some outlets such as department stores, supermarkets, mail-order houses, and closed-door operations use price as bait and prescriptions as a leader in order to sell other items at a high profit.
An example was given of how a neighborhood pharmacist’s familiarity with a patron’s background prevented a tragedy when two different physicians were prescribing sedatives at one time for the same person.
We stressed that “the community pharmacy is an essential part of the health team of physician and pharmacist which must not be abandoned. When a patient requests a new prescription, he should be sent back to his pharmacy. He will find the pharmacist cooperative, competitive with any impersonal outlet, and will benefit from the added health and safety features and personalized interest which is available only in a neighborhood pharmacy.
“Your community pharmacist is a companion of the physician. He often is asked for and can respond with advice to the physician on the characteristics of different therapeutic agents. Most importantly, he is the professional liaison be- tween the physician and patient and is the final check on the safety of the pa- tient’s medication.”
This is my final message to you as your president for 1965. It has been a great honor and privilege to serve in this capacity on behalf of the pharmacists
of the Metropolitan Baltimore area. Thank you for your interest and continued
support. Sincerely,
MARION R. CHODNICKI President

Intra-Uterine Contraceptive Devices
by PETER P. LAMY, PH.D. Assistant Professor of Pharmacy University of Maryland School of Pharmacy
The intra-uterine contraceptive de- vice has a long history. It has been known for centuries that a foreign body, placed in the uterus, will prevent pregnancy. In the 1920’s, Dr. Graefen- berg! devised a ring first made of silk- worm gut and later of silver or gold wire. The initial “failure rate’ was re- ported as excellent, being only 1.6% of 600 patients, but there were also re- ports of pelvic inflammatory disease and other side effects. This caused most gynecologists to condemn the device without further trial, and consequently it was little used in the United States.
Opposition to this method of contra- ception continued to be powerful. The attitude of many United States physi- cians at that time can be summed up with a statement by Dr. Guttmacher?2 that “intra-uterine devices are to be thoroughly condemned because of their ineffectiveness, their potential source for infection and irritation, as well as their carcinogenic potentials’. Never- theless, a few physicians continued to experiment with modifications of Graefenberg’s ring. While they con- tinued to encounter problems, they published, almost simultaneously, high- ly favorable reports in 1959. The first of these reported on the work of Dr. Ishihama? and was based on personal observation of almost 1000 women and clinical data on more than 18,000 wom- en fitted in 149 hospitals. Dr. Ishihama found pregnancy rates to be only 1.3% to 2.3% and reported no serious side effects.
Dr. Oppenheimer, of the Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, had fitted 329 women with silver or silk rings over a period of 28 years and reported a pregnancy rate of 2.5 per 100 woman-
years of exposure, and he, too, consid- ered the method entirely harmless‘.
These two reports stimulated interest, although some doubts remained. Spurred on by this newly-arisen inter- est, the Population Council, a founda- tion for social and biological problems based on population problems, called a two-day meeting on IUCD’s in New York City’. Reports at this conference seemed to indicate that the devices were ef- fective and that complications were fewer and less serious than had been feared. Reports by Hall and Stone® also concluded that there were no serious side effects of any kind.
What are [UCD’s?
In the United States, principally four different kinds are used.
A. The Spiral, developed by Dr. Mar- gulies of Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York, available from Ortho Phar- maceutical Corporation. It is shaped like a loosely wound watch spring and is equipped with a stem or a tail. The coiled part averages about one inch in diameter, the stem is from two to three inches long.
B. The Loop, developed by Dr. Lippes of the University of Buffalo, School of Medicine, available from Hohabe, Inc. It is shaped like two letter “S” forms joined end to end. The loop is about 1% inches long and two short nylon threads are fastened to one end.
C. The Bow, developed by Dr. Birnberg of the Brooklyn Jewish Hospital, available from Marco & Son, Old Bridge, New Jersey. The bow actu- ally looks like a little bow tie and is of about the same size as the loop. It has no threads, stems, or tail.
D. The Ring, developed by Dr. Hall of the New York Medical College, available from Glaxo-Allenbury’s Canada, Ltd. It is a stainless steel wire, in the shape of a circle, not quite as large as a nickel. A plastic

ring, recently developed by Dr.
Barnes of Johns Hopkins, is not yet
commercially available. The differences of design are primarily aimed at eliminating side effects, such as expulsion. Silver and gold devices have been discarded since they at times caused inordinate tissue growth and re- moval of the device was then only pos- sible by surgical means.
The tails, stems or nylon threads at- tached serve as a means for the pa- tient to ascertain that the device has not been expelled. The bow, lacking any of these attachments, is radiopaque and is checked by x-ray.
Administration: Insertion of most of these devices is relatively easy. They are pushed into an applicator and are thereby forced to assume a linear shape. The tube is guided through the open- ing of the cervix into the uterus, where the device is then expelled. Insertion of the ring is slightly more difficult in that the cervix must first be dilated.
Post-Administration Care: Generally, a patient is asked to report to the physi- cian one month, three months, six months and 12 months after the origi- nal insertion. Following this, the pa- tient is examined at yearly intervals. These examinations will determine whether the device is still in place, and also will involve a pelvic examination and a Pap. smear.
Mode of Action: The foreign-body con- cept is the basis of most theories de- veloped to explain the contraceptive mechanisms of the IUCD’s. While the exact mode of action is still not clear, the explanation seems to lie in one of three possibilities:
a. They prevent, in some way, the spermatozoa from passing upward through the uterus into the Fallo- pian tubes.
b. They cause excessive contraction of uterine muscles, thus possibly acting as abortefacients.
c. They cause excessive Fallopian peris- talsis so that the ovum, even if fer-
tilized, reaches the uterus in much less time than is normal and is thus too immature for implantation’.
Side Effects: The insertion of an intra- uterine device is usually followed by slight bleeding, sometimes accompanied by slight pelvic pain. These symptoms usually cease within a few days. Pelvic inflammatory disease is one of the side effects quite often mentioned. Statis- tics’ now show that the rate for this inflammation ranged from 1.7% for the loop to 3.9% for the spiral. Most of the cases reported were mild and could be managed successfully without removing the device.
Perforation of the uterus has oc- curred at times, but most of these cases can be shown to be due to faulty manip- ulation. Perforations have been re- ported at a rate of one per 300 inser- tions of the bow and one per 2,500 in- sertions of the other devices.
Exfoliative cytology has been cited as the most serious objection to the use of IUCD’s. Thus far, there has been no scientific evidence of an adverse effect and no case has been reported that can be directly traced to the devices?, al- though physicians warn that many years will be needed yet to determine the ultimate effect of ICUD’s upon cer- vical cytology.
If pregnancy occurs with a device in utero, it has been customary to re- move it if possible. However, in many cases, the device has been left in place. In those cases, no damage to the fetus has been reported. The rate of abortion in these cases, though, is significantly higher than normal, but it has been im- possible statistically to ascertain wheth- er or not that was due to the presence of the IUCD.
Expulsion is more than a mere nui- sance or side effect. Often, the fact may go unnoticed by a patient and preg- nancy may occur. Expulsion occurs most often during the first three months after insertion. Increasing order of ex- pulsion: Bow (1.1%), Loop (9.3%), Ring
340 December 1965
The Maryland Pharmacist
(15.8%) and Spiral (21.8%). As pointed out previously, the stem or nylon threads are attached so that the pa- tient may determine herself whether or not expulsion has taken place.
Effectiveness: Although all IUCD’s under study are highly effective, some ap- pear to be more effective than others, just as there is a wide variation in the rate of expulsion. The over-all preg- nancy rate is usually reported at 2%, i.e., an effectiveness of 98%. The fol- lowing pregnancy rates have recently been reported by the Planned Parent-
hood Federation’: Spiral (1.8%), Loop (2.4%), Bow (5.7%) and Ring (7.5%) .
A more sophisticated measure of ef- fectiveness, perhaps, is the failure rate per 100 woman-years of exposure to the risk of pregnancy. Use this and statis- tics presented by the Planned Parent- hood Federation, a comparison with other contraceptive methods shows IUCD’s about 4 to 5 times as effective as diaphragms and more than 10 times as effective as the rhythm method.
Simplicity, of course, increases the effectiveness of any contraceptive de- vice or method. Even the use of “the pill” requires some measure Of patient cooperation, e.g., a strict daily regimen under which it is taken. It seems that “patient failure’, i.e., an error on the part of the patient in using a contra- ceptive device, is completely eliminated with the use of the intra-uterine de- vices. It is the only method of fertility control, with the exception of a surgi-
cal procedure, which requires just one act of decision on the part of the pa- tient.
Summary: While the IUCD’s seem to have proved themselves, in skilled hands, to be highly (but not 100%) ef- fective contraceptives, it would seem that a woman who decides to use an IUCD should consult a physician who has had considerable experience with these devices, possibly a physician as- sociated with one of the coordinated trials under the auspices of the Planned Parenthood Federation or a community hospital clinic.

Thursday, December 2, 1965, was the date of the Third Simon Solomon Phar- macy Economics Seminar which was held at the Holiday Inn Downtown in Baltimore. Sponsored by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, the event began with registration at 8:30 a.m. and ran until 4:00 p.m.
Featured in the morning half of the program were three speakers, as fol- lows: Mr. Jack E. VanGundy, Division Sales Manager of Johnson and Johnson spoke on “Space Project”, which was concerned with the management and overall modernization of space. “The Better Business Clinic’ was the topic of the second speaker, Mr. George M. Scattergood, Manager of Prescription Container Sales Division of the Arm- strong Cork Company. It was concerned mainly with effective management tech- niques for pharmacies and how modern
business controls and _ record-keeping methods can be adapted to the needs of all pharmacies to insure maximum pro- fit. Anchor man for the morning ses- sion was Robert J. Lohrman, Manager of Menley and James’ Trade Relations Div- ision. He spoke on “OTC Drugs in the Pharmacy.” Presiding over this half of the proceedings was Committee Chair- man Milton A. Friedman.
Following luncheon, the afternoon talks got under way with Co-Chairman Joseph H. Morton presiding. Dr. Paul D. Cooper, Director of the Fiscal Research Bureau of the State of Maryland, de- livered an informative resume of the work of his “Cooper-Hughes Commis- sion” which had the enormous job of revising the entire tax program for the State. Dr. Cooper’s remarks were fol- lowed by those of Mr. John T. Fay, Jr., Director of Pharmaceutical Services of

Factors in Decision to Study Pharmacy
By B. F. ALLEN*
A survey in 1960 conducted by the writer among University of Maryland students on the Baltimore Campus re- vealed that the local pharmacist and pharmacist family members were the two biggest factors (over 50 per cent) responsible for influencing young people to enroll in the School of Phar- macy.
It was also noted in this survey that only 5 per cent of the students were attracted by a pharmacy recruitment program, 3 per cent by a high school teacher or counselor, and 2 per cent by an open house affair at the School of Pharmacy.
The other students gave a wide as- sortment of personal reasons for de- ciding on a career in pharmacy. Some of the reasons were as follows: good pay and employment security; interest in a business and profession; desire for a broad general science background; interest in public health, chemistry, or drugs; and a desire for a professional career.
In a similar survey conducted in 1964, it was again noted that the practicing pharmacist and pharmacist family members are important factors (42 per cent) responsible for influencing young people to enroll in the school.
This particular survey showed that
science interests (22 per cent), non- family members (14 per cent), high school teachers or counselors (3 per
cent), pharmacy students (3 per cent), and a recruitment program (2 per cent) influenced the students.
Among the reasons given by some of the other students for selecting phar-

macy were the following: pharmacy is a good profession, desire to be a medi- cal service representative or wholesaler, and pharmacy is a profession where one can help others who are unable to help themselves.
In the survey reported in 1960 when the four year program was still in effect, the students in attendance on the Baltimore Campus came from 44 Maryland high schools, 4 Virginia high schools, 2 District of Columbia high schools, and one high school in the States of California, New York, Penn- sylvania as well as West Virginia.
The students in the 1964 survey rep- resented 33 Maryland high schools, 2 high schools from the District of Co- lumbia and Pennsylvania, and one high school in the States of Delaware and New York.
Since the five year program was in effect at this time, these students ob- tained their pre-pharmacy at the fol- lowing institutions: University of Mary- land, College Park (82 students); Bal- timore Junior College (3 students); Potomac State College (2 students) ; Frostburg State College (1 student); Montgomery Junior College (1 student) ; Loyola College (1 student); York Junior College (1 student); and Uni- versity of South Dakota (1 student).
It is also of interest to note that some of the above students had at- tended at one time or another the fol- lowing institutions: Towson State Col- lege, George Washington University, University of Oslo, University of Utah, University of Denver, and Lehigh Uni- versity.
The following information was re- cently obtained in a survey conducted among the third year students at the School of Pharmacy, University of Maryland (Baltimore Campus) :

In recent years, tremendous efforts have been made by various groups and organizations to publicize the career opportunities in pharmacy. Often this effort has been directed in a manner as to de-emphasize retail or community pharmacy.
In the aforementioned surveys it is very interesting to note that members of the practicing profession have played a very important part in helping young people to select pharmacy as a career. These surveys also point out the great need for effective ways and means in which the recruitment programs can be directed toward the parents of future pharmacy students.

"Antibiotic Bowel"
Widely used antibiotics frequently cause gastrointestinal disorders includ- ing mild gastrointestinal irritation or diarrhea, perianal irritation and proc- titis, ulcerative proctitis, and pseudo- membranous’~ enterocolitis. Staphylo- coccal enterotoxin can produce similar disturbances in susceptible animals, but the role of the Staphylococcus in pro- ducing these disorders in human pa- tients is not fully understood. The milder gastrointestinal disorders can be corrected by ingestion of Lactobacillus acidophilus to hasten return of normal intestinal flora and by discontinuance of antibiotic therapy. Satisfactory treatment of pseudomembranous entero- colitis requires prompt support with appropriate fluids and_ electrolytes, parenteral administration of adreno- corticotropic hormone, and use of spe- cific antibiotics.
Most physicians still have a nebulous
concept of the ‘antibiotic bowel.’”’ For example, clinical histories or physical and laboratory findings to substantiate the diagnosis were found in only 64 of 102 patients with a diagnosis of pseudo- membranous enterocolitis, staphylo- coccal enteritis, or “antibiotic bowel” seen at the Ochsner Clinic and Och- sner Foundation Hospital during the past 11 years. Of these 64 patients, 12.5% had pseudomembranous entero- colitis, 9.5% had anorectal syndrome due to antibiotics, 20% had ulcerative proctitis and colitis, and 58% had “anti- bitic bowel.” In discussing “antibiotic bowel,” the author notes that the rec- tal instillation of methylprednisolone (Depo-Medrol) assists in healing the colonic mucosa in selected cases of ulcerative proctitis and colitis.
These findings were reported by Philip C. Young in Postgraduate Medi- cine 38:400-405, 1965.

Chemical Which Enhances Learning and Memory
At a December 27 meeting of the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science, there were presented the first reports on experimental studies in animals of a chemical which appears to enhance learning and memory.
The symposium, entitled ‘Behavior, Brain, and Biochemistry”, revealed that the chemical, known only by its code number, Abbott 30400 and which has been identified as magnesium pemoline (a mild central nervous system stimu- lant), increases the rate of synthesis of RNA (ribonucleic acid). This appears to result in improved learning and memory, according to Dr. Alvin J. Gla- sky, Abbott biochemist and Dr. Lionel N. Simon, biochemist at the MTlinois State Pediatric Institute.
Also, Dr. N. P. Plotnikoff, an Abbott neuropharmacologist, found that rats given the chemical learned four to five times faster than untreated rats. Re- tention improved, as well.
Dr. Plotnikoff’s conclusion was that while the studies do not “definitely establish” that increased RNA syn- thesis causes better learning and memory, the experiments “‘tend to sup- port this hypothesis.”
Trials in humans are expected to begin in the very near future, accord- ing to Abbott Laboratories.
Teen-Age Girls and Skin Care
A recent survey by Seventeen Maga- zine reveals that young women and girls have skin problems, are concerned with them, and take steps to combat them. The population studied consisted of 11,923,000 young women under 20 years of age.
It revealed that 90% of them do have some skin problems and that 70% use medicated products. These consists of bath or face soap, some medicated brands; medicated cream and/or lo- tion; dry skin cream and/or lotion; medicated pads; liquid cleanser and cleansing grains. Most of these pur- chases are made at drug stores, with only soap being a super-market-bought product.
Experimentation does take place. The survey reports that over the past year, 66.5% of all teen girls have tried new skin products of various types. One- fifth tried medicated cream, and ap- proximately 15% tried astringent and medicated lotion or gel; 10% tried liquid cleanser. Other products included in this experimentation are medicated skin pads, cleansing cream, cleansing grains and moisturizing lotions.
Seventeen reports the most important factor in choosing a skin care product for young women (other than per- formance) is its convenience of use.

Products... "‘Dyazide’
Smith, Kline and French Laboratories has made available an oral diuretic for treatment of edema and hypertension called ‘Dyazide’ which is reported to offer complete diuresis and better elec- trolvte balance than other oral di- uretics.
Its action is at both the distal and proximal tubules of the kidney neph- rons; the drug is said virtually to eliminate the need for potassium sup- plements since the ‘Dyrenium’ com- ponent (50 mg) conserves potassium. The other active ingredient is hydro- chlorothiazide (25 mg).
Specific indications for use of the drug are edema associated with con- gestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, the nephrotic syndrome and late pregnancy, and steroid-induced and didopathic edema. ‘Dyazide’ also is use- ful in patients whose response to other diuretic therapy is inadequate and in cases where sodium-retaining steroids are present.
As is the case with any diuretic, ‘Dya- zide is contraindicated for further use in patients who exhibit progressive renal dysfunction or increasing hepatic dys- function. It is also ill-advised in pa- tients hypersensitive to either ‘Dyreni- um’ or hydrochlorothiazide and should not be used where there is evidence of pre-existing elevated serum potassium.
‘Dyazide’ is available only by pre- seription and is supplied in bottles of 100 and 1000.

K-Lyte, Potassium Supplement
An effervescent tablet which makes a lime-flavored drink for the treat- ment of potassium deficiency has been introduced by Mead Johnson Labora- tories. The new prescription product is called K-Lyte and is indicated to pre- vent or to correct potassium losses which frequently accompany body fluid disturbances, and is particularly useful as part of the treatment of patients suffering ailments which require the use of thiazine diuretics or cortico- steroid hormones.
K-Lyte is provided in a more palata- ble form than potassium supplements now available and is extremely well tolerated, as observed in a series of clinical studies.

Tham-E, For Systemic Acidosis
Abbott Laboratories of North Chicago have announced the availability of an
organic amine for the correction of
:
severe systemic acidosis, which, when
administered intravenously, acts as a proton acceptor. It is called Tham-E (tromethamine with electrolytes).
In life-threatening situations such as metabolic acidosis associated with cardiac bypass surgery; acidity in ACD blood in cardiac bypass surgery and metabolic acidosis associated with car- diac arrest, Tham-E also serves as a temporary buffer base component in patients with lowered alkali reserve.
Tham-E is contraindicated in anuria and uremia and in pregnancy, except in a life-threatening situation, since its effect upon fetal development has not been studied clinically or in animals.
Abbott has published extensive warn- ings and precautions concerning the use of Tham-E which should be ob- served carefully in any consideration of its use.

How to followa hematinic sale with
rep
eat business
One way is to recommend Zentinic, a hematinic that provides results. It contains recognized im- portant hematinic factors needed to treat iron deficiency as well as certain nutritional deficien- cies of the B complex—factors like too mg. of iron as well-tolerated ferrous fumarate. Zentinic
also has a generous 200 mg. of vitamin C, an
essential nutrient in its own right that gives further assurance of the
absorption of iron. A safe quantity of folic acid has been added to the
formula to provide the beneficial effect of this blood-building vitamin. Finally, the other B complex vitamins are included for normal red- blood-cell formation and general nutritional support. In total, a comprehensive array of antianemia factors. And because they work in
anemia, your customers come back for more.

Your Voice in Pharmacy
During the course of a year, the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association offers a number of opportunities for members to participate in the affairs of the Association. It is at committee meetings, regional meetings and the Annual Meeting at the Convention that discussions are held, recommendations formu- lated, policies adopted and work in behalf of the profession is accomplished.
The leaders of the M.P.A. encourage and urge all pharmacists to attend and take part in these meetings. Any member sincerely dedicated to the advance- ment of the profession of pharmacy will find many areas in which to contribute his time, efforts and taients.
On Thursday, April 14 the Spring Meeting of the Association will be held at the Turf Valley Country Club (off Route 40 West). The theme will be “What Do You Think We Need in Pharmacy Legislation?” This will be an open forum for all members—a chance for each and every pharmacist to voice his opinions
and present his ideas.
The date of the Regional Meeting falls after the close of the 1966 State Legislative session and will, therefore, permit us to review any results which
affect pharmacy.
We have all heard critical remarks about what has and has not been done in the past. Let us now have constructive suggestions for the coming legislative
sessions. Meeting together can only result in greater understanding of the issues.
With increased interest and with broader participation by more and more pharmacists, we can develop programs that will go a long way in achieving the professional goals and rewards all of us in pharmacy are striving to attain.

SUCARYL SWEETENERS ARE MADE TO TASTE MORE LIKE SUGAR THAN ANY OTHER NON-CALORIC SWEETENER
Leave it to Sucaryl sweeteners to in- novate.
Back in the °50’s, Sucaryl sweeten- ing solution and tablets practically invented the low caloric sweetener market.
Today’s Sucaryl sweetener isa little bit different from that first Sucary] sweetener—sweeter, more natural tasting, made to taste more like real sugar than any other no-calorie sweetener on the market.
Why don’t other manufacturers make their no-calorie sweeteners the same way?
Simply because they can’t.
The Sucaryl formula is patented— and has been for years.
It’s meaningful innovations like this that keep Sucaryl sweeteners out in front as the largest selling non- calorie sweetener in the marketplace —and the major factor in pharmacy sales of low calorie sweeteners.
Keep Sucaryl sweeteners in mind next time a weight-watcher hands you a prescription. You can’t recom- mend a non-caloric sweet- ener that tastes more like {&*....., sugar. 601296

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
That every individual have a free choice of the pharmacy in which his pre- scription will be filled must be the basis of consideration where drug distribution is discussed. The pharmacist who makes his living as a community pharmaceuti- cal practitioner is the only professional man plying his profession in an economic atmosphere. For decades, proprietary medicines, beauty aids, health needs and many other basic drug store items have been the targets for price cutting by non-pharmacies as well as certain pharmacies. Many members of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association will always remember the crusade of Si Solomon and his efforts to prevent the price structure of front drug store items from be- ing destroyed. Even at this writing, he is concerned with State legislation which has been introduced into the Maryland General Assembly, which, if successful, would make extinct any Fair Trade Legislation that still exists in Maryland. This battle, although it does involve some pharmacists, can be considered basically as an encroachment by non-pharmaceutical interests.
As we look back over the last few years we see a notable trend in the in- volvement of the prescription in these price wars. This nasty involvement must be placed squarely in the lap of the pharmacist. Attacks by governmental repre- sentatives, by pharmacies licensed to operate in a grocery-type environment, by high powered borderline advertising, etc., could not be successful if some pharmacist were not willing to be a partner in making these activities pay off to the business interests whose sole objective is gross income. This desecration of the prescription, if allowed to continue, will eventually annihilate the profession.
I am also aware that other activities, seemingly innocent in nature, will add to this turmoil and destruction. Some of those that disturb me are: direct lines to physicians’ offices; union pharmacies; efforts by hospital pharmacies to serve non-hospital patients. Pharmacists have been involved in creating these condi- tions and pharmacists can stop them.
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association is greatly concerned about these happenings because, if they are allowed to continue, the neighborhood pharmacy, which is still the bulwark of our profession, will cease to exist. This, in turn, will curtail greatly the community supply of medication to the public who will not realize that the pharmaceutical services it once enjoyed are no longer at its beck and call. This Association is serving its members in many areas, but its foremost concern must be prime pharmaceutical service to the public. Experience proves that when professional service is “served”, economic reward will be “reaped”.
Sincerely,
President

A Message from the Executive Secretary
The Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965—H.R. 2
Requirements Effective February 1, 1966
At the time of this writing the Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965— H.R. 2—impose only the following re- quirements on pharmacists:
1. Pharmacists must take an inventory of stimulant and depressant drugs in stock as of February 1, 1966.
The F.D.A. exempted from record- keeping—until August 1, 1966—over- the-counter depressant and stimulant. drugs containing amphetamines or barbiturates combined with other
drugs, but not amphetamines and barbiturates combined with each other.
2. Keep this record for a minimum of three years.
3. Additional authorization from the prescriber is neggssary if the B order for a stimulant or depressant is over six months old.
4. You may not refill a stimulant or depressant Ik more than five times without a new k—or without addi- tional authorization from the pre- scriber. This rule applies regardless of the date of the BR.
5. No renewals of stimulant and de- pressant drugs are permitted without proper authorization—if there are no refill instructions on the original R.
6. Your records of stimulant and de- pressant drugs must be available to F.D.A. inspectors.
7. All invoices which include stimulant and depressant drugs must contain
the supplier’s federal registration number. 8. Pharmacists regularly supplying
physicians and other pharmacists with drugs covered by H.R. 2 must register with F.D.A. If a pharmacy engages in such practices only oc- casionally or merely to “oblige” an- other pharmacist in an emergency, he need not register. However, a record of all transactions with physi- cians and other pharmacies must be maintained.
MPA Aids for H.R. 2
In order to keep pharmacists and other health professionals informed, two thousand brochures entitled “H.R. 2 and YOU” have been distributed.
In addition, two separate informa- tional bulletins regarding the provisions and drugs covered by the law have been mailed.
Finally, over 400 copies of an in- ventory booklet for H.R. 2 were mailed as an M.P.A. service to all pharmacists requesting them. The brochures and in- ventory forms were prepared by the A.Ph.A. and purchased by the M.P.A. for free distribution in Maryland.
Prescription Pre-payment Plans
The M.P.A. has under investigation several approaches to prescription pre- payment insurance. In addition to the California “Paid Prescriptions” Plan,
The Maryland Pharmacist
conferences have been held with of- ficials of the Maryland Hospital Serv- ices (Blue Cross-Blue Shield) to con- sider the feasibility of a cooperative plan. “Maryland Pharmaceutical Serv- ices, Incorporated”’ has been established by M.P.A. to serve as an independent agency for any plan which may be adopted.

Items of Historical Importance in the Life of the School of Pharmacy, University of Md.
(Formerly the Maryland College of Pharmacy) By B. OLIVE COLE*
January, 1966, marked the 125th anniversary of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, which was incorporated as the Mary- | land College of Pharmacy in 1841. | In observance of this event, the fol- lowing review of its history is pre-
sented.
The Maryland College of Pharmacy was a membership institution organized in Baltimore by apothecaries and physi- cians. The initiatory conference was held at the residence of Dr. Samuel G. Baker, June 8, 1840. The Medical and Chirurgical Faculty was represented by Doctors Samuel G. Baker, W. E. A. Aiken and William Riley. The follow- ing represented the pharmaceutical in- terests: Messrs. Thomas G. Mackenzie, George W. Andrews, David Stewart, Robert H. Coleman, B. H. Atkinson, John Hill, Jonathan Chapman, and J. W. W. Gordon. Dr. Baker presided.
A committee of five apothecaries was appointed to decide upon the best plan for organizing a college of phar- macy in the City of Baltimore. The committee, on June 22, 1840, recom- mended the calling for a general meet- ing of all regularly-educated apothe- caries in the City, which was held on July 6, 1840. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. This committee reported on July 20, 1840, with Mr. Mackenzie presiding. The Constitution and By-Laws were adopted, with numerous amendments. and the following officers of the Col- lege were elected:
*Emeritus Professor of the School of Phar- macy of the University of Maryland,
President—Thomas G. Mackenzie
First Vice-President — George W. Andrews
Second Vice-President — Robert H. Coleman
Secretary—William H. Balderston Treasurer—Henry B. Atkinson
Board of Examiners—Benjamin Rush Roberts, David Stewart, Thomas T. Phillips
The Board of Examiners was to ex-
amine orally the applicants for mem- bership and to investigate the quality of medicines such applicants were in the habit of dispensing. The organiza- tion was thus fully concluded and the meeting adjourned.
The following names appear as the incorporators in the Charter of the Maryland College of Pharmacy which was granted at Annapolis, Maryland on January 29, 1841: Thomas G. Macken- zie, George W. Andrews, Robert H. Cole- man, Benjamin Rush Roberts, David Stewart, Henry B. Atkinson and William H. Balderson. This group, together with the following: Israel J. Grahame, R. P. Littlefield, James W. Scott, John Hill, William Smith Reese, W. S. Love, John J. Myer, T. E. Brennan, E. Raymond and Charles Wiseman, signed the record book as members of the Maryland Col- lege of Pharmacy in 1841.
In 1847, owing to the death of four members and change of occupation of seven, the College suspended all lec- tures, the last meeting being that of October 12, 1847. In 1856, George W. Andrews called a meeting which re- sulted in the election of thirty-one new members and a thorough reorganization of the College. The following were elected as officers on February 25, 1856:

First Vice-President—J. Faris Moore
Second Vice-President—Louis Dohme
Secretary—J. Jacob Smith
Treasurer—J. Brown Baxley
Board of Examiners—Wm. Silver Thompson, John Francis Hancock, N. H. Jennings
The College was reincorporated in
1870 and was amalgamated with the professional schools of the then Uni- versity of Maryland in 1904, to form the Department of Pharmacy of that institution. The College became the School of Pharmacy of the University of Maryland when the _ professional schools of the University of Maryland were merged with Maryland State Col- lege at College Park in 1920.
Of passing interest is the active par- ticipation of the Maryland College of Pharmacy in the formation of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association in 1883, with Dr. Edwin Eareckson as temporary chairman and Dr. Charles Caspari, Jr. as temporary secretary, and also the formation of the Ameri- can Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties, now the American Associa- tion of Colleges of Pharmacy, with Dr. Henry P. Hynson, who was then Sec- retary of the Maryland College of Phar- macy, aS a proponent of the organiza- tion of the Association.
Following the re-organization in 1856, a Code of Ethics was adopted. At the institution of the course of lec- tures for 1856-57, three professorships were created. Dr. Lewis H. Steiner was elected Professor of Chemistry; Dr. Charles Frick, Professor cof Materia Medica; and Mr. Samuel J. Graham, Professor of Practical Pharmacy. The history of the Maryland College of Pharmacy records many professors who taught classes from 1841 to 1904, in- cluding Dr. David Stewart, Dr. J. Faris Moore, Dr. William Simon, Professor W. E. A. Aiken, Dr. Frank Donaldson, Dr. Charles Caspari, Jr., a graduate of the class of 1869, and Dr. D. M. R. Cul- breth, elected in 1888.
In 1858 a quarterly Journal of Trans- actions of the Maryland College of Pharmacy, edited by Mr. Wm. Silver Thompson, was published. The pages of the Journal were bright with valuable original contributions and abstracts from foreign scientific periodicals; it also furnished an account of the meet- ings of the College. Fifteen numbers were issued, the last in April, 1862, the expenses outweighing the income from subscriptions and advertisements.
Subsequent to 1841 and prior to 1902, the year in which the state-wide prac- tice act was passed in Maryland, all pharmacy laws were initiated and fos- tered by the Maryland College of Pharmacy.
The 1910 act of the Maryland Legis- lature provided for a Food and Drug Commissioner to be appointed by the State Board of Health. Dr. Charles Caspari, Jr. established the Depart- ment and served as Commissioner un- til his death in 1917.
There were eleven Presidents of the Maryland College of Pharmacy from the time of organization to the amal- gamation of the College as a depart- ment of the professional schools of the University of Maryland in 1904.

The officers and members of the Col- lege of Pharmacy had friends who were artists, and portraits of seven of the presidents were provided for the Col- lege, the minutes of the College record- ing the name of the artist selected and the price of the portrait. These have been preserved by the present School of Pharmacy. Five of the large portraits of presidents prominent in the work of
368 January 1966
the Maryland College of Pharmacy have been reproduced in a size suitable for inclusion in an historical article for The Maryland Pharmacist. Some of the characteristics and accomplishments of the presidents of the Maryland College of Pharmacy, who were exemplary in character and ability as pharmacists and active in perpetuating the stand- ards of pharmaceutical education, of research, of industry and public health, are noted below.
The officers of the Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1904, when it became a Department of the University of Maryland were:

CHARACTERISTICS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE PRESIDENTS OF THE MARYLAND COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
Thomas G. Mackenzie
Thomas G. Mackenzie, one of the incorporators and the first President of the Maryland College of Pharmacy, was born in 1802 and died in 1873. He was the son of Dr. Colin Mackenzie (1775-1827). Mr. Mackenzie was presi- dent of the Maryland College of Phar- macy from July 30, 1840 to July 25, 1842, and Vice-President from Septem- ber 24, 1844 to February 2, 1847. He founded a store in 1824 at the north- east corner of Baltimore and Gay Streets in Baltimore. After a year the firm’s name was changed to “Thomas G. Mackenzie & Co.” and, in 1827, at the death of his father, to “Mackenzie
The Maryland Pharmacist
& Company” inasmuch as his two brothers, prominent physicians with a following, had a monetary interest in the business.
Mr. Mackenzie’s educational and so- cial advantages implied high business ideals, and, as a matter of fact, he always stressed the best in pharmacy. Consequently, when, in the late thirties, there was a move to found a college to teach its underlying principles, few worked with greater loyalty and zeal until its organization had beem accom- plished.
As early as October 28, 1842, the Maryland College had a Committee on Essays. Each member of the college in the order of registration of his name was expected to deliver a lecture on some subject connected with pharmacy or chemistry, or a critique or formula of the new Pharmacopoeia; he was to occupy the floor not more than thirty minutes, when the subject was open to discussion. Among the papers and critiques presented in the early life of the college were those of Mr. Mac- kenzie. In February 1845, he read a paper proposing a modification of sev- seral formulae of the last United States Pharmacopoeia and offered a formula for the preparation of Black Drop, which was adopted; he also offered a formula for the preparation of Syrup of Squills, which was referred to a committee for consideration. Later in that same year he presented three specimens of ointment of red precipi- tate, made by different methods, which were set aside to abide the test of time in order to determine their several merits.
The minutes of the College show that as early as May 28, 1844, the College resolved to form a library, and the first donation recorded is that of Mr. Mackenzie, which consisted of a case of specimens of Materia Medica, a num- ber of framed paintings of plants, a table of chemical equivalents and a table of chemical tests.
The Maryland Pharmacist
Dr. George W. Andrews
Dr. George W. Andrews, one of the incorporators and President of the Maryland College of Pharmacy for more than twenty years, was first elected President on September 24, 1844. The College suspended all activities from October 12, 1847 until early in 1856. Dr. Andrews was re-elected President of the reorganized College and was active in this connection until his retirement on July 10, 1871. He died in Baltimore on September 12, 1877, at the age of sev- enty-six.
Dr. Andrews established a store in 1829 at 3 West Baltimore Street, but afterwards moved to 5 West Baltimore Street. He soon became a chemist of repute, aS well as a prescriptionist who enjoyed the implicit confidence of physicians and the public. In 1857 he associated as partner with his able and long-time trusted clerk, William Silver Thompson, creating the highly re- spected firm of Andrews and Thompson.
Dr. Andrews was not present at the organization meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Association in 1852, but simply from his well-known reputation and sympathy for the cause, he was elected its initial First-Vice President, a position which practically assured a further recognition, which materialized when, five years later on September 9, 1856, he was chosen President of the Association. However, owing to a pro- longed stay in Europe, he was not able to preside at the Fifteenth Annual Meeting in 1857.
Dr. Andrews was a man with a sci- entific bent—resourceful, accurate, reli- able, devoting much time to chemistry, making many important analyses, and authoring many technical mono- graphs. He was a member of the Mary- land Academy of Science for fifty-five years. During his long life he enjoyed and retained the reputation of relia- bility and scientific accomplishments, activity and correctness in his busi- ness relations, and of being a good and useful man and citizen.

DR. GEORGE W. ANDREWS
The resolution of the Maryland Col- lege of Pharmacy, dated October 2, 1877 included the following: ‘Resolved that we will ever hold dear the memory of his noble life, his patient and self- sacrificing devotion to his profession, his persistent zeal in promoting the dig- nity of the science of Pharmacy, his gentleness of character and faithful- ness as a friend.”
Dr. J. Faris Moore
Dr. J. Faris Moore, who was Presi- dent of the Maryland College of Phar- macy from January 11, 1872 to July 10, 1873, was born in Port Penn, New Castle County, Pennsylvania on Febru- ary 20, 1826, and died February 3, 1888. His boyhood days were spent in Elkton, Maryland at an academy, where he re- ceived his education. In 1842 he entered the pharmaceutical establishment of George W. Andrews in Baltimore, re- maining six years, and, in 1847, was graduated from the Maryland College of Pharmacy. He conducted the drug business in Wilmington, Delaware, for three years, in the meantime studying

medicine and graduating from the Jef- ferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1849. He returned to Baltimore and established, first with a partner—2J. K. B. Emory—until 1858, and then as sole proprietor, a drug store at Howard and Madison Streets, which he operated un- til the time of his death.
He was one of the reorganizers of the Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1856, held the office of Secretary, and was elected Professor of Pharmacy in 1861, which chair he held for nineteen years, when, at his request, he was given the professorship of Botany and Materia Medica, which he held until his death. In 1871, the Maryland College of Phar- macy conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy for his deserving, original work and research in the sci- ence of Pharmacy.
Dr. Moore was elected President of the American Pharmaceutical Associa- tion in Baltimore in 1863, and presided at the twelfth annual meeting in Cin- cinnati, September 1864. His address at this meeting was remarkable for its

brevity, just over two printed pages, in which he regretted the continuance of the Civil War and also made a plea for higher preliminary requirements for those entering upon the study of phar- macy. He was quoted as saying in this address, in connection with preliminary requirements, that ‘Many being so woe- fully deficient in their education; for pharmacy is a science, and in that one word is embraced a host of collateral branches of knowledge, the attainment of which are indispensable to him whose ambition aspires to the title of phar- maceutist in its proper sense.” He served twice on a committee for the re- vision of the National Pharmacopoeia.
Dr. Moore was a staunch Presby- terian, in which church he was an elder, and for four sessions he was a member of the Presbyterian Assembly. He was taken ill while attending serv- ices at the Twelfth Presbyterian Church, Baltimore, from which attack he never rallied. He knew his Bible and the Pharmacopoeia, and of the latter, having manufactured the prepa- rations in various ways, retained clearly the several modus operandi, while his ready tongue found the meetings of the Maryland College of Pharmacy and the American Pharmaceutical Association a happy outlet for personal knowledge and news. At the same time he never desired to make a public demonstra- tion of his knowledge, however thorough that might be on any given subject. He had a splendid disposition and no one ever saw him unless he possessed complete composure. He was demo- cratic, easy of approach, with much natural ability, was devoid of envy or jealousy and bore friendliness towards all druggists.
Dr. Moore was prominent in politics and represented his ward several times in the City Council of Baltimore, where he was Chairman of the Commitee on Health and on Ways and Means. He was one of the Commissioners of Phar- macy under the first pharmacy law of Baltimore, and then Secretary for a number of years.

Joseph Roberts
Dr. Joseph Roberts, who was Presi- dent of the Maryland College of Phar- macy from July 5, 1875 until his death on January 31, 1888, was born in Bal- timore on February 15, 1824. He re- ceived a good preparatory education at West Nottingham Academy and en- tered upon the study of pharmacy in New York with Mr. John Milhau. This was in 1841, and in a class of three, he graduated from the New York College of Pharmacy in 1845. The next year he returned to Baltimore and opened a drug store, which he successfully man- aged up to the time of his death.
The Maryland College of Pharmacy was established in 1841 and upon his return to Baltimore he at once became identified with the new school. Upon the reorganization of the College in 1856, he was elected a member of the Board of Examiners. He was President of the College when the new building was erected in 1886-87 on Aisquith Street, and, together with Henry A. El- liott, was appointed agent and repre- sentative of the Board of Trustees to act as a Finance Committee for the erection of the building.
He was energetic in having suitable legislative enactments passed for the advancement and better practice of pharmacy in his State, and, at the time of his death, was busy pressing before the State Assembly a new pharmacy law to take the place of the old one which he thought was not sufficient in its scope. His occasional contributions to pharmaceutical literature were creditable, since he was greatly inter- ested in the various phases of educa- tional training.
Dr. Roberts was twice Vice-President of the American Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation, was elected president of the Association in Pittsburgh in 1885, and presided at the 34th Annual Meeting at Providence, R.I. September 7, 1886.
He was a man of strong physical power, fine judgment and apt under- standing. His manner was slightly
January 1966 37)
DR. JOSEPH ROBERTS
brusque, his speech being clear, pene- trating and abrupt. His presence al- ways engendered respect as well as admiration. His judgement was good, cautious and reliable; he was keen in resenting imposition or intentional slight; he shirked no duty or obliga- tion—the more disagreeable, the more exacting the observance.
Dr. Roberts was sole owner of the extensive agricultural and manufactur- ing firm of George Page and Company, and was considerably identified with agricultural pursuits. A farm at the
“Neck” near Sparrows Point, gave healthful diversion, Summer and Winter.
Dr. Edwin Eareckson
Dr. Edwin Eareckson was President of the Maryland College of Pharmacy from January 16, 1888 to July 17, 1890. He was Secretary for twelve years, and a member of the Board of Examiners for four years.
He was a member of the Committee appointed on October 5, 1882 by the Maryland College of Pharmacy to call a meeting to organize the Maryland
372 January 1966
DR. EDWIN EARECKSON
State Pharmaceutical Association, and at the organization meeting on May 8, 1883, was elected Temporary Chairman. The Articles of Incorporation, dated November 26, 1889, lists the name of Edwin Eareckson as one of the in- corporators of the Maryland Pharma- ceutical Association. At the second an- nual meeting of the Maryland Phar- maceutical Association in 1884, he made a report to the sub-committee appointed to draft and have passed by the Legis- lature of Maryland a bill extending to the entire State the regulation of the sale of drugs, medicines and chemicals, to replace the local law applying only to the City of Baltimore. It was not a successful endeavor.
Dr. Eareckson was President of the Association in 1886 at its Fourth An- nual Meeting, and delivered his presi- dential address in the House of Dele- gates Chamber, Annapolis, on June 1, 1886. He was a delegate from the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association to the meeting of the American Pharmaceuti- cal Association in 1886.
The Maryland Pharmacist
It is recorded that Dr. Eareckson started in business in Baltimore in 1849 and the Medical Directory of Baltimore of 1888 refers to him as President of the Board of Trustees of the Maryland College of Pharmacy, with a business address as 900 E. Baltimore Street. His home was at Elkridge, Howard County, Maryland. He died on May 25, 1896, and the College expressed appreciation of his useful and eventful life, and the loss of a genial and wise member and officer, as well as testimony to his honor and worth as a citizen, pharmacist and friend.
Charles E. Dohme
Charles Emile Dohme, who was Pres- ident of the Maryland College of Phar- macy from July 8th, 1897 to July 31, 1904, was born in Oberkirchen, Ger- many, on March 12, 1843 and died in Baltimore on December 7, 1911. He came to this country with his parents in 1851, where he attended Knapp’s Institute in Baltimore and graduated from the Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1862. He received the Master of Pharmacy degree in 1871 from his alma mater.
Mr. Dohme obtained a position as a clerk in the pharmacy of George L. Kidwell & Son, Georgetown, D.C. and subsequently went with Andrews and Thompson of Baltimore, with whom he remained until 1866, when he was ad- mitted as a partner in the firm of Sharp & Dohme. There his influence soon made itself felt in a signal man- ner. A large part of the apparatus need- ed in the various processes had to be devised, and in this work he developed an extraordinary resourcefulness, aid- ing in the production of a previously unattained perfection of pharmaceuti- cal products.
He became a member of the American Pharmaceutical Association in 1863. He was local secretary in 1889-1900, Second Vice-President in 1890-91, First Vice- President in 1895 and President in 1898. For twelve years he was President of the Council of the A.Ph.A. In 1900

DR. CHARLES E. DOHME
he was elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the U.S.P. Convention, and became Chairman of the Board in 1901, sharing in the work of bringing out the Spanish translation of the Phar- macopoeia.
Mr. Dohme took a great interest in the scientific and ethical sides of phar- macy. He identified himself closely with the Maryland College of Phar- macy. He supported it freely, using his influence to bring about a raising of standards and encouraging young men who showed special promise. Besides, he sought to establish cordial personal relations with the faculty, the members of the College and the students, and, on numerous occasions, gave receptions at his home, which were notable for their enjoyable character. He was Presi- dent of the Maryland College of Phar- macy at the time it became a depart- ment of the University of Maryland (1904).
Mr. Dohme was very sociable. He was an active member of the Baltimore Drug Trade Bowling Club, and of the Germania Club, the leading German club in Baltimore. He traveled exten- sively in this country and abroad. He
was a great reader, notwithstanding his active professional career and business life, and he possessed an intimate acquaintance with the thousands of books in his private library. He was a liberal patron of the arts and rarely missed a performance of grand opera or a high class concert. His love of music lead him to join the Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church choir, and he was one of the organizers of the old Oratorio Society, in whose programs he took an active part.
He was of large frame and stature, over 200 pounds, with a broad face, massive forehead, thick black hair and mustache and a florid complexion. He was deliberate of motion, responsive, capable and efficient in any undertak- ing, had considerable magnetism, was of cheery, easy disposition, and was will- ing to impart helpful knowledge. Truly a great man in business and society, Mr. Dohme was revered by many who knew him.
125TH ANNIVERSARY
The School of Pharmacy is now one hundred and twenty-five years old, dating from January 27, 1841, when the Charter of the Maryland College of Pharmacy was granted at Annapolis, Maryland, and signed by Governor Wil- liam Grason.
The Fiftieth Anniversary Celebra- tion of the Maryland College of Phar- macy was held at noon in the old Acad- emy of Music, April 17, 1891, with the reception at the college building and the banquet at night at the Eutaw House. A large delegation, including prominent educators from Philadelphia and New York, was in attendance. At this time the Alumni presented the College with two hard-wood cases and books for the College library.
Many graduates of the School of Pharmacy and members of the Alumni Association recall with pleasure the happy occasion of the celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the founding of the School on June 4 and 5, 1941, at the Emerson Hotel, with an Academic Convocation; with sessions on

Education and Science in the College building at 32 South Greene Street, Baltimore; together with lunches, re- ceptions and Alumni Banquet and en- tertainment for the ladies.
The present generation of pharma- cists will likely delve into the past and present history of the School of Phar- macy and provide the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary for reflection and enjoyment.
The annals of pharmaceutical his- tory will record the names and work of many past and present-day teachers and graduates of the School, including the organizers and pioneers in thought and practice—those who brought the School to eminence in prestige and posi- tion—including nine prominent Presi- dents of the American Pharmaceutical Association and seven Deans of Schools of Pharmacy, making the influence wide in scope and reflecting the soundness of the education provided, and thus bringing honor to the profession. The pharmacists of Maryland, especially the graduates of the School of Pharmacy, should be proud of their heritage.

Current Status of Measles Vaccine
by MERRILL
Measles cannot be looked upon as an innocuous childhood disease. Incidence of crippling and even fatal complica- tions, when viewed as percentage of cases, may not seem frightening but, when transposed into actual numbers of children, becomes awesome. Despite the widespread use of gamma globulin as a prophylactic agent after exposure, 440 deaths in the United States due to measles were reported in 1964. In Rhode Island alone, from January 1964 to June 1965, at least 181 children were hospitalized because of measles and its complications with an average hospital stay of 9.5 days at a cost of over fifty thousand dollars! In less fortunate na- tions five to 10% or more of cases may die.
Practical vaccination against measles is owed to the attenuation of measles vaccine of Enders and his associates (the same Enders who paved the way to polio vaccine — a double debt, in- deed). Since licensure for general use in 1962, over eleven million doses have been distributed, enough vaccine to immunize almost all children born in the United States during this period. These vaccines have been of three types —inactivated virus vaccine, attenuated live virus vaccine (Edmonston) and live vaccine made from a further atten- uated strain (Schwarz). The availabil- ity of multiple types and, in addition, several methods for their administration perhaps has produced some confusion.
The inactivated vaccine requires a series of injections to produce anti- bodies in most recipients which are often relatively short-lived. To provide immunity of longer duration, live vac- cine has been given after two doses of inactivated vaccine. The usual draw- backs of multiple visits for vaccination and the occurrence of occasional dis-

J. SNYDER, Ph.D.*
tressing local reactions at the site of attenuated virus administration make this method less desirable.
Living Virus Vaccines
Left to us then are the living atten- uated virus vaccines, Edmonston and Schwarz strains. A single dose of the former produces immunity of long dur- ation, hopefully lifelong, but is fre- quently attended by symptoms. Fever is often produced and rash, less frequently. Although these cause concern to par- ents when they occur, reassurance can be given that these manifestations are transient without residua.
Somewhat lower incidence of gener- alized reaction occurs with similar use of the Schwarz strain. The further at- tenution of this strain from the parent Edmonston type has altered its immun- ogenicity. A progressive decline in anti- body has been evident in the post- vaccinal years. This vaccine has not been in use long enough to determine whether loss of resistance to infection will result. The merits of slightly re- duced reaction incidence must be weighed against the possibility of di- minished immunity. This appraisal need not be made by the physician since the use of gamma globulin con- comitantly with the administration of Edmonston vaccine will reduce the chances of a marked febrile reaction.
The use of a living vaccine demands special precautions. Firstly, it should not be given to children with leukemia, lymphomas, or other generalized malig- nancies; children receiving any therapy that may depress resistance such as steroids, antimetabolites, irradiation, etc.; and patients with acute respira- tory or other febrile diseases. Until more is known of the effect of the vaccine virus upon the fetus, vaccine should not be administered during pregnancy—it is doubted that there is indication for adult administration in
The Maryland Pharmacist
January 1966
any event. Secondly, antibody can in- terfere with the multiplication of the attenuated virus. Children who have had blood transfusions or gamma glo- bulin within six weeks should have measles vaccination deferred.
In children under 12 months of age there is some reduction in take rates which vary inversely with age until the first birthday because of passively ac- quired maternal antibody. When gamma globulin is administered concomitantly to reduce the chance of reaction, dos-
age instructions should be carefully fol-
lowed. Thirdly, the viability of the virus in the vaccine must be preserved and instructions as to storage, rehydration and use should be rigidly enforced. An outdated or improperly stored vaccine may give a false sense of security which could be dangerous.
Although allergic sensitization or reaction in the already hypersensitive patient has rarely been encountered
with the use of measles vaccine, specific instructions for avoiding and minimiz- ing untoward reactions should be fol- lowed. Precautions vary with the nature of the cell line in which the virus has been cultivated and the antibiotics that may be present in the final preparation. Expectation that a proportion of the children will have a febrile response between the fifth and twelfth day may develop a complacency toward unasso- ciated illness during this period. This should be avoided. Transmission of vac- cine virus to other susceptibles does not occur.
The attenuated living virus vaccine has proven effective in protecting greater than 90% children receiving either vaccine alone or with coadminis- tration of gamma globulin. This resist- ance is long lasting. Measles should no longer be a “usual childhood dis- ease.” Only apathy prevents this goal.

120 YEARS GO BY IN A HURRY
This is our 120th year, and where did the time go? [] When you're busy keeping
pace with a profession and an industry as busy as yours and ours, there never seems to be enough time, does there? [] Back in the 1840’s and 50’s, Gilpin was one of the early importers who were the forerunners of the drug wholesalers of today. In those days, most drugs, chemicals and essential oils were imported and Gilpin was among the first to assay and standardize drugs for uniformity and dependability which, contributed greatly toward building loyal relationships with the apothecary.
As Gilpin continued to seek better ways to provide pharmacists, increased emphasis
was placed on improved Histribution of all drug store products. [_] Then, as fast as better ways were found, so were better medicines. The industry of drugs and
medicines grew. Gilpin grew. Our jobs grew... to new heights-of dedication and
responsibility. So it has been for 120 years. (] Think a moment of the progress in
medicine, particularly in the last decade, making the work of the pharmacist more valuable, more important than ever to people everywhere. Never before has the
practice of pharmacy been so demanding of technical skills and precision. Such
grave responsibility. [.] That is why Gilpin places so much emphasis on pharma- ceutical service. Constantly supporting the pharmacist in his role as consultant to the allied health professions. {_] That is where our brass tack comes in, too. You see our salesmen wearing them in their lapels. You see them on some of our printed matter. Around our offices and warehouses, you see this symbol everywhere, as
reminders to all of our people. It reminds us that even after 120 years of building
the largest wholesale drug firm in the area... even after becoming known for the most varied of services to the pharmacist . . . even after establishing a century-old reputation for dependability . . . it reminds us that every morning we come to work

TAMPA Meeting by Joe Hugg
TAMPA’S first meeting of 1966 was held at the Penn Hotel in Towson and was attended by a record crowd of 49 members and guests. Among the hon- ored guests were Mr. Nathan Gruz and Mr. Frank Barrott. Commander of the American Legion of Baltimore County. The usual social hour was from 12 to 1, and luncheon was served promptly at one o’clock.
The members were advised that TAMPA had acted in the true Christ- mas spirit by responding to a problem publicized in the local papers before Christmas. It was reported that a crip- pled, needy individual whose only method of transportation was a bicycle had been deprived of his mode of tran- sit by a thief. Responding promptly to the news item, TAMPA’s Sheeler Read, Lou Rockman, and President Herman Bloom sprang into action. A visit was made to the home of the individual to ascertain the actual need, which was followed by a hurried trip to a local department store to make the purchase, to the warehouse to pick up the bike,
Ca
and finally, deliyery to a most appre- ciative person. All TAMPA members should feel proud of their Association and the manner in which it acted in this instance.
Following lunch, the usual committee reports and the report from Secretary- Treasurer, Mr. John Crozier, were all given with dispatch, and received ap- proval from the membership.
Mr. Frank Barrott, our guest speaker, talked briefly as an introduction to the subject of the day, Vietnam. Mr. Bar- rott presented two 16mm sound films, one of which had just been released by the Pentagon and had never been shown publicly before, TAMPA was the first non-military group to view the picture, which was titled “Sand and Steel”. The film vividly showed U. S. Marines landing in Vietnam and set- ting up an air field in what had been a waste area of sand dunes. The second film, titled ““‘War Within A War” dealt more with phases of the war other than the shooting phase, and Mr. Barrott pointed out that our presence in Viet- nam is not only to participate in a shooting war but also in an ideological war for the hearts and minds of people.
The Maryland Pharmacist
The second film showed the effort of America’s fighting men and other or- ganizations, such as CARE, are waging in that war. In his closing remarks, Mr. Barrott called for all members of TAMPA and all Americans to stand up and take part in operation “Show Your Colors’. This is done by wearing Ameri- can Flag Lapel Pins which are available free of charge from the American Legion. This was an excellent meeting and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
We are always happy to hear of progress being made by a TAMPA member. We are happy to report that this time Past-President Richard Crane, a loyal TAMPA member, was recognized by the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of the State of Maryland. He was ap- pointed as one of only two lay-mem- bers, plus two physicians, who consti- tute the Subcommittee on Exhibits of the Faculty, and will serve as a member of the Committee for the 1966 Annual Meeting. This is a definite recognition of Dick’s loyalty and outstanding abil- ity and all TAMPA members offer con- gratulations.

Mrs. Samuel Raichlin is a_ small woman who does a big job. Not only is this true for L.A.M.P.A., but for the other phases of her life—especially that concerning her family.
Married 38 years to Sam, Ethel Raichlin is the mother of three fine children, Sonny, Fred, and Linda, and loving keeper to a 12-year-old canine called Inky.
Her hobbies include knitting, sewing, cooking, reading, and, especially shop- ping, at which she has earned the repu- tation of being an expert. She is de- scribed by an appreciative family as using “a built-in radar system’ to ferret out bargains.
Mrs. Raichlin can be found at home any morning before ten (waiting, it is said, for Mr. Fortune to phone) but, when she gets into the car and heads down the expressway, might very well be the first person ticketed for driving below the minimum speed limit. At present, she is extremely involved in the plans for daughter Linda’s June wedding, but no one who knows Ethel Raichlin expects her to do the relaxing which might theoretically follow such an event.
She will, according to one of her colleagues, be “active, interested, and busy as ever—doing good and helping wherever she can.”

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Since my installation as President, I have been visiting many pharmacies in the metropolitan area. I thank the many pharmacies who have taken time from their busy routine to talk with me.
Problems we have by the score: Directed prescriptions, dispensing doetors, discount pharmacies, grocery pharmacies, green stamps, competition; you name it ... we have it.
Although most pharmacists had complaints, those who lamented the least were those who have made an effort to adjust to the new economy. Competition in many cases has stimulated the pharmacist to rearrange, remodel, repaint, redisplay, put new lighting fixtures inside and outside, and to provide parking.
Our Association is planning a public relations program which will direct the public to the independent community pharmacy. Look at your store through the objective eyes of the shopper. As a customer, would you want to shop in your store? Now is the time to re-evaluate your store operation.
The ease with which your customer can shop, the presentation of new de- partments and ideas, the newness and brightness of your merchandise, does
and will have a definite impact on your patrons, and on the success of our ad- vertising campaign. Your cooperation is the most important ingredient for a successful program.
Sincerely,
JEROME A. STIFFMAN President
The Maryland Pharmacist

U.S. Pharmacists Invited to Participate in Pan American Congress
U.S. pharmacists are invited to par- ticipate in the Seventh Pan American Congress of Pharmacy and Biochemis- try to be held in Buenos Aires, Argen- tina, November 26 through December 3, 1966.

Drugs for State of Rio
Maryland this month responded to a call from its “sister state’ in Brazil for a shipment of medication for vic- tims of a flood disaster which hit there. It had been learned during a short- wave radio conversation with the dis- aster area on January 15 that nearly 250 bodies had been found and that 5000 persons were without shelter in the rain-soaked, ravaged area.
Even before the arrival of the ship- ment, which was delayed for 48 hours by a technicality in clearance papers in New York, Ronald Hees, a Brazilian who is the coordinator for this phase of the Alliance for Progress program, thanked Marylanders for their help, especially Dr. Matthew Tayback, Dep- uty City Health Commissioner and Chairman of the Maryland Partners of the Alliance; Albert Berney, Chairman of the Maryland group, and Nathan I. Gruz, Executive Secretary of the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association. They were largely responsible for the 15,090 doses of penicillin and tetracycline sent to Rio.
These general purpose antibiotics which were donated by E. R. Squibb .& Sons and Lederle Laboratories, are es- pecially effective against respiratory disease which could develop into pneu- monia and intestinal diseases which could develop into dysentery.

AphA to Introduce Nursing Home Service Film Strip, Recording
A film strip and tape recording ex- plaining pharmaceutical services in nursing homes will be introduced at the annual meeting of the American Phar- maceutical Association’s Academy of General Practice of pharmacy on April 25 in Dallas, Texas.
The film will be available afterward from the Academy and Roche Labora- tories for pharmacy group and nurs- ing home administrator presentations. Representatives at a recent A.Ph.A. headquarters planning session for the project included the American Medical Association, American Nursing Home Association, American Society of Hos- pital Pharmacists, McKesson & Robbins, Inc., National Association of Boards of
Pharmacy, Roche Laboratories, U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Social Se- curity Administration, U.S. Welfare Ad- ministration and several community pharmacist advisors.
Roche Laboratories has provided an $11,000 grant to the Academy for the project. The film strip will explain how to establish pharmaceutical services in a nursing home, the responsibilities of the pharmacist, and federal and state standards and laws—with special em- phasis on the Social Security Amend- ments of 1965. For distribution with the film and tape recording, a revision of the booklet “Pharmaceutical Services in the Nursing Home’”’ is in progress.

Sundial Dedicated to Amelia C. DeDominicis
In ceremonies at the Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop in Fredericksburg, Virginia, a sundial was dedicated in memory of Miss Amelia C. DeDominicis (1909-1963).
The Apothecary Shop is the sole project of the Friends of Historical Pharmacy and is maintained as it was some 200 years ago. Hugh Mercer, an early American pharmacist, practiced his profession in this shrine prior to the Revolution. In that war, he was killed | after attaining the rank of General.
Miss DeDominicis was very interested in the maintenance of the Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop. She was instrumen- tal in obtaining financial support for the restoration of the pharmacy from the Women’s Auxiliary of the American Pharmaceutical Association. Miss De- Dominicis was associated with projects on behalf of the shop for some six years before her death.
The sundial, given by the DeDominicis family, is mounted on a brick pedestal in a garden behind the restored phar- macy. On hand for the ceremony were members of the DeDominicis family and friends.
A native Baltimorean, Amelia C. DeDominicis was graduated from the University of Maryland School of Phar- macy in 1931, receiving simultaneously the Graduate in Pharmacy and Bache- lor of Science diplomas. She was award- ed the Master of Science degree in 1932.
She was a member of the University’s faculty and served in the botany and pharmacognosy department as = an assistant (1932-1937) and _ instructor (1937-1942). In 1942 she resigned from the School of Pharmacy to become a chemist in the Bureau of Laboratories of the Maryland State Department of Health.
Miss DeDominicis was a_ charter member of the Epsilon Chapter of the Lambda Kappa Sigma Pharmaceutical Sorority (School of Pharmacy, Univer- sity of Maryland), and the editor of the Blue and Gold Publication of this or- ganization for ten years. She was also, at one time, the grand president of the sorority.
Her interests in pharmacy were fur- ther exemplified by membership and committee work in the Women’s Aux- iliary of the American Pharmaceutical Association.

Area Pharmacist Spokesman
for ‘Hangover Pills’
It was reported recently that Irving I. Freed, proprietor of the Brookfield Pharmacy in Baltimore, is the spokes- man for a group of scientists who de- vised a formula for curing hangovers. Contrary to the kind of opinion repre-
sented by Rutgers University Center on - Alcohol Studies which refutes the pos-
sibility of easing such problems, Dr.
) Fried’s group claims it has pills which work and which have been tested on “hundreds of college students, laborers
and professional people . . . since 1961
. with good results.”
Mr. Fried, a past president of the Baltimore Chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Association, describes the product as being aimed at the “social drinker” and not chronic alco- holics. The latter patient could suffer kidney trouble from overuse, he stated.
Mr. Pannill Made Real Estate Manager at Peoples
William E. Pannill, an MPA member, has been named Real Estate Manager of Peoples Drug Stores, Inc., as part of their recent executive changes, as an- nounced by President George Burros.
This appointment was part of a
seven-executive shift made recently by the firm.
Dr. Goddard is new FDA Chief
Dr. James L. Goddard has_ been named by President Johnson as the new Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Goddard who, until his new appointment, was Assistant Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service, succeeds George P. Lar- rick, who recently retired from the post.
The new Commissioner is a graduate of the George Washington University School of Medicine and has spent 14 years in public health work. He has held his present post, which is specifi- cally involved with the P.H.S.’s Com- municable Disease Center in Atlanta, since 1962.
Dr. Goddard is the first F.D.A. chief to be chosen from outside the agency in its 60 year history.
Baltimore Pharmacist Named To Peace Corps
Miss Pearl Chan, a 1958 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, has been named a Peace Corps Volunteer, after having com- pleted 12 weeks of training at the Uni- versity of Texas.
She left early this month for Mor- occo, where she will work in hospital, sanatorium and public health labora- tories throughout the North African country.
Miss Chan had been employed at Burris and Kemp before joining the Peace Corps.

Etrafon—A Major Psychotherapeutic Agent
A broad-spectrum psychotherapeutic agent, representing a new approach to the management of emotional and mental disorders, has been marketed by the Schering Corporation.
Its name is Etrafon, a combination of Trilafon (perphenazine), a _ tran- quilizer, and amitriptyline hydro- chloride, an antidepressant. The drug was conceived to permit the more com- prehensive treatment of both out- patients and hospitalized patients with neuroses or psychoses in whom anxiety and depression frequently are present simultaneously.
Indications include depression and anxiety which cannot be differentiated easily, the presence of anxiety and/or agitation (moderate or severe) and de- pression, the presence of depression with coexistent anxiety and/or agita- tion (moderate or severe), anxiety or depression associated with chronic physical disease, schizophrenia, with as- sociated symptoms of depression; it is noted in the latter instance that the use of Etrafon makes it possible to reduce the number of electroshock treatments in some patients.
Both main ingredients are regarded as having a minimum of serious side effects.

Cheracol D*
The Upjohn Company has announced a new nonnarcotic cough syrup for over-the-counter sale. Neither a pre- scription nor narcotic registration is required. Cheracol D differs from the already known Cheracol formulation in that dextromethorphan hydrobromide replaces codeine phosphate, and glyceryl guaiacolate replaces potassium guaia- colsulfonate.
It is available in two-ounce and four- ounce bottles.

Tests for Rheumatoid Arthritis
A three-minute screen test and a diagnostic titration set have been de- veloped by Wampole Laboratories. The new units, which require no special — equipment and take only minutes to > set up, enable the physician and labora- tory technician to make a quick and more accurate diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
These techniques have been endorsed by two physicians from the Chicago area, whose report appeared in the June, 1965 issue of The American Jour- nal of Clinical Pathology; it stated that “The eosion slide test (R-3) proved to be economical as well as simple, and seems to be ideally suitable for screen- ing purposes.”
Wampole Labs stress the efficacy of their new procedures in the light of the fact that there are five million known sufferers and countless unknown people who have rheumatoid arthritis, and since previously available diagnostic methods have not been practical be- cause of cost and complexity, as well as an extended time factor.
On
Berocca Tablets
Roche Laboratories has just an- nounced the introduction of Berocca tablets. Available on prescription only, the tablets provide generous amounts of the major B-complex vitamins, in- cluding folic acid. In addition, Berocca tablets contain therapeutic quantities of vitamin C—essential in the anabolism of carbohydrates and protein as well as in tissue repair and collagen for- mation.
Berocca tablets are indicated for sup- portive nutritional supplementation in conditions where water-soluble vita- mins are required prophylactically or therapeutically. They are recommended for pre- and post-surgical patients, al- coholic patients, the chronically ill, patients suffering from infectious dis- eases or debilitation and others in whom vitamin supplementation is indicated.

Antidote For Pesticide Poisoning
Protopam Chloride, a drug which can save—and already has saved—the lives of victims of overexposure to pesticides or chemicals of what is technically termed the phosphate ester class, is now being marketed.
Ayerst Laboratories has _ provided emergency supplies of the antidote without charge to all U. S. Poison Con- trol Centers, as a public service. It is potentially an antidote for so-called nerve-gas poisoning, also.
The company has undertaken this public responsibility since there appears to be, at present, no governmental or other agency for making certain that this, or any other antidote, is obtain- able in immediate proximity no matter where a victim may be affected.
This type of poisoning is character- ized by a continual uncoordinated twitching of the muscles, which finally become paralyzed; when the paralysis reaches the chest muscles, thereby in- hibiting breathing, it is of course fatal. A physician’s injection of Protopam Chloride in the early stages of this poisoning can save the life.
—O)—
Steroid Relieves Hay Fever
Commenting in the British Medical Journal (11:864), Dr. B. Y. Marshall of Surrey, England, stated that his experi- ence with methylprednisolene (marketed in this country as Depo-Medrol by the Upjohn Company) showed it is the best treatment currently available for hay
fever.
Sneezing and wheezing stopped or was greatly reduced in about 80% of the 100 or more hay fever suffereres traeted over a four-year period with a single injection of the well-known steroid.
A high rate of patients now come back each year for repeat injections, ac- cording to Dr. Marshall.
—o—
Rabies Vaccine
The National Institutes of Health has approved use of duck-embryo, killed- virus rabies vaccine for pre-exposure immunization of those in “high risk” groups. The vaccine, produced by Eli Lilly and Company, is the only one re- commended for such use. It is con- sidered safe because its duck-embryo origin greatly reduces the serious prob- lem of isoallergic encephalomyelitis and neuroparalytic reactions which can be caused by the “paralytic factor” found in Pasteur-type vaccines.
It is said that the Lilly vaccine pro- vides a faster antibody response than those made from brain tissue.
In addition, the packaging of the rabies vaccine has been changed to al- low better utilization and economy. A new single-dose package has been sub- stituted for the formerly marketed seven-dose kit.
The experiments on this product in- dicate that over 80 percent of im- munized individuals have obtained suf- ficient blood-level protection against rabies within one month after comple- tion of either of the two recommended dosage schedules. In cases of severe ex- posure (bites from animals thought to be rabid or deep bites on the head, neck, face, or arm) the complete post- exposure fourteen-dose immunization is recommended.

412 February 1966 The Maryland Pharmacist
By now, nobody in pharmacy must be surprised by seemingly revolutionary changes in our profession. It is time to realize that the only constant factor is change.
Among the prominent changes affecting the practice of pharmacy is the emergence of institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes as major factors affecting medical care patterns.
In the realm of hospitals, we see the hospital pharmacy advancing from a neglected basement room to a first floor, modern laboratory operation. The pharmacists have been upgraded to professional status and the pharmacy service recognized as a vital ancillary profession. The hospital pharmacist is a key person on the pharmacy and therapeutics committees which have been estab- lished at most hospitals.
The Federal Medicare program now requires all hospitals to set up pharmacy and therapeutics committees to pass upon pharmaceuticals to be used, other than those listed in the Official Compendia.
In addition, we have seen that nursing homes are not only increasing in number, but that those of greater bed capacity and with more comprehensive services are proliferating. With the passage of Medicare, we can see that the role of nursing homes in the community will increase in importance.
Expanding institutional medical care is creating both problems and oppor- tunities for pharmacists. The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association has, there- fore, set up a Committee on Institutional Pharmacy to meet the challenges of such change. Meetings have been held with hospital pharmacists, hospital ad- ministrators and representatives of nursing homes.
Our position is clear. We wish to insure that patients of hospitals and nurs- ing homes receive the highest standard of pharmaceutical service. Hospital phar- macy services should not be routinely available to those who are not bona fide hospital patients. We insist that pharmaceuticals distributed to hospitals by manufacturers are not diverted. We insist that the discrepancy in prices charged to hospitals and community pharmacies be reasonable. Certainly the price dif- ferentials received by non-profit institutions should not be a means for unfair competitive advantage against community pharmacists who provide essential services to their neighborhoods.
In the matter of nursing homes, our professional responsibility requires us to demand the inclusion of a pharmacist’s services in the furnishing of drugs to patients of nursing homes. These patients deserve the same safeguards in the compounding, dispensing and storage of drugs that the law guarantees to the public at large through licensed pharmacies.
The Maryland Pharmacist February 1966 413
One of the issues which has arisen in relations between nursing homes and pharmacies is the matter of compensation to nursing homes who furnish ad- ministrative services to pharmacies. Some nursing homes collect prescription charges from their patients on behalf of the dispensing pharmacy and feel justi- fied in requiring compensation for this service. When this administrative charge for collection services is in line with that charged by credit collection firms, such as “Charg-It” or “NAC”, one may consider this practice reasonable.
However, it is unethical, unprofessional and unlawful when this kind of relationship develops into a situation where an administrative fee is so unrea- sonable that it can be considered a rebate. Where medical care or MAA pre- scriptions are involved, there is absolutely no justification for payment of an administrative fee by a pharmacist to a nursing home.
With governmental agencies becoming more and more concerned with the operation of hospitals and nursing homes, we are confident that all responsible hospital administrators and nursing home operators, as well as all pharmacists— both hospital and community—will wish to avoid any possibility of further gov- ernmental supervision.
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association is striving through inter-profes- sional conferences to secure professional pharmaceutical services at every level, with a minimum of government interference.

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
As the State Legislature completed its 1966 session, responsible pharmacists must wear a cape of frustration. Their entire legislative program was completely pigeon-holed in the Judiciary Committee and permitted to die. This defeat, how- ever, must be only momentary because the success of the three bills could herald the return of pharmacy to its proper place among the professions.
At our next Executive Committee meeting, I shall request that these bills be directed to the Legislative Council for processing into the 1967 Legislature.
While the embers of our legislative program are still warm, let us look again at the laws we will require. The first bill is in two parts: that defining the “Practice of Pharmacy” in the most complete manner and encompassing the evolution of a drug from its origin to the ultimate user (the first definition in- cluding the vital distribution factor very necessary for proper law enforcement) , and a second part defining a “Pharmacy,” or the physical plant wherein the profession may be conducted. This too is a necessary factor for proper surveillance from a public health standpoint.
I should like to comment briefly on the above: nowhere within the State can there be found a definition which can be useful in textbooks, or implemented in legislative or judicial work. Whenever a legal question surrounding the practice of pharmacy arises, we must depend on the legal profession—and without phar- maceutical consultation. This is wrong and passage of this bill would correct the inadequacy.
The second bill would permit your State Board of Pharmacy to promulgate rules and regulations in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act gov- erning the practices of the profession, and would give tremendous stature to the profession in permitting it to govern itself. Pharmacy is the only profession in Maryland which does not have this privilege. Many pharmacists have expressed fears that the Board would have unlimited powers, but one need only review the proc- ess of promulgating a regulation with its many checks and balances to under- stand that only fair and necessary regulations could be proposed and enforced.
I will not dwell in detail on the “Advertising of Professional Services Bill” other than to say that this would treat the prescription in pharmacy in the same manner as the physician, lawyer or dentist treats his public image. An example of this may be found in the yellow pages of your phone book; check the listings of those professions against those of pharmacy.
Please remember this message when the State Legislature convenes in Janu- ary, 1967. It could herald the beginning of the professional status in which you are proud to take part.
Sincerely,
Dati a
President

A Message from the Executive Secretary
Medical Care Prescription Fees Increased
The MPA’s efforts to secure more equitable compensation for pharmacists dispending medical care and MAA pre- scriptions have again borne fruit.
As a result of the continuing work of the MPA officers and Executive Com- mittee, fees for pharmacy services will be as follows, effective July 1, 1966: Ingredient Cost Pharmacist’s Fee
$0.01 to $3.99 $1.00
$4.00 or more $2.00
Supporting the efforts of MPA was the cooperation given by the local pharma- ceutical associations who have been active in this field: Allegany-Garrett Counties, Baltimore Metropolitan Phar- maceutical, Eastern Shore and Prince Georges-Montgomery County.
Special credit goes to pharmacy’s of- ficial representatives on the State level: Gordon A. Mouat, member of the State Council on Medical Care and Chairman of the Pharmacy Services Committee, which included pharmacists Francis S. Balassone, Donald O. Fedder, Nathan I. Gruz and Morris R. Yaffe. Important work was done by the MPA Health and Welfare Committee: Donald O. Fedder, Chairman; Victor H. Morgenroth, Jr., Gordon A. Mouat, Walter E. Albrecht, Morris R. Yaffe, William A. Cooley, Ber- nard B. Lachman, William J. Appel, Aaron M. Libowiitz, Harold M. Gold- feder; Ex-Officio: Francis S. Balassone, Dean Noel E. Foss.
MPA Group Health Plan Is Tops
The Association’s group Health, Acci- dent and Major Medical Plan admin- istered by the American Health and
Life Insurance Company has proven to be one of the most worthwhile of the Association’s membership benefits. Not only is the premium a bargain in terms of protection provided, but the insur- ance firm, through its representatives, Roy Shumaker and Gordon Leather- man, have handled every claim in a most equitable manner. These men have gone out of their way to serve our mem- bers’ interest.
American Health has now developed some plans for additional coverage at nominal cost which will meet any need for protection, including continued in- come, hospital and physician benefits. Details will be sent in the near future to all pharmacists.
Some of our members who dropped the MPA plan for a supposedly better one offered by another group have re- turned to American Health after find- ing that our locally administered plan cannot be approached by any nationally sponsored policy. Before switching to or choosing any other insurance program, contact Mr. Shumaker at VE. 17-7561. You will be very glad you did.

Report of Public Administration Service and its Implications to Boards of Pharmacy
FRANCIS S. BALASSONE, President
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy
Mr. Balassone, Secretary: of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy and Chief, Division of Drug Control, Mary- land State Department of Health, de- livered this talk at the Annual Meeting of the State Boards and Colleges of Pharmacy, on October 22, 1965, at the Sheraton-Belvedere Hotel in Baltimore.
History
As a result of a pilot study done in 1957 by the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States which had obtained the services of the Public Administration Service, AFDOUS suggested to the Food and Drug Ad- ministration that a thorough study of state and local food and drug laws and their enforcement would be de- sirable and beneficial to the states as well as to the federal government and the consumer.
At a later period the Congress ap- proved an appropriation for $250,000 for the study which would take some 18 months to complete. On July 1, 1963 Commissioner George P. Larrick of the United States Food and Drug Adminis- tration announced that the Food and Drug Administration had contracted with the Public Administration Service to carry out this project. The Public Administration Service is a non-profit organization.
Purpose
At the outset, the Public Adminis- tration Service’s study of state and local €o0d, drug, device, cosmetic and hazardous substances laws, programs, and facilities had the following basic objectives:
1. To identify what the state and lo- cal governments are providing con- sumers in terms of food and drug protection.
2. To identify and analyze similarities, variations, inconsistencies, and dup- lications affecting the laws, work- load, organization, personnel, fa- cilities, program, policies, budgetary and other problems confronting state and local agencies.
3. To identify areas which could be improved by better state and local laws, organization, personnel, facil- ities, programs, policies, budgets and federal programs, or by improved coordination between Federal, state and local programs, and provide recommendations to accomplish im- provements in each identified area.
4. To provide goals and guidelines re- garding means of approach, and timetables to attain any improve- ments and modifications deemed necessary.
At the time of announcing the con- tract, Commissioner Larrick made two Significant statements which I would like to call to your attention.
“The performance of the study will be in accordance with a prospectus developed by the government with the assistance of a committee represent- ing the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States,’ and “This independent study by an or- ganization outside of Government should bring to light any needed im- provement in laws, organization, and support for Federal-State coordi- nation.”
The Maryland Pharmacist
Summary of Findings
1. The socio-economic, scientific, and
technological settings of food and drug programs are imposing in- creasingly complex demands and obligations upon government and industry to provide protection for consumers.
To serious health hazards of an earlier era have been added risks associated with the application of scientific findings and technological innovations to the production, processing and distribution of foods, drugs, cosmetics, and household articles.
Present demands on food and drug agencies are such that tradi- tional practices, staffing patterns, and physical facilities must be re- appraised to determine their present utility.
. Important unities have emerged in the industries within the scope of governmental food and drug pro- grams, emphasizing the need for a unified approach by all government, to health and economic protection.
There is a unity in health and economic protection, especially in relation to foodstuffs.
For government to confront such unities with a fragmented approach is to court the likelihood of dupli- cation, confusion or conflict, and even the neglect of serious hazards while energies are lavished on mat- ters of secondary importance.
. Under our governmental and con- stitutional systems, the Federal and state authorities largely overlap in each state; and within many local jurisdictions, three levels of gov- ernment have corresponding respon- sibilties in food and drug protection.
The breadth of Federal power to regulate interstate commerce is.such that it now extends to a vast array of processes, products, and trans- actions that were once considered within the scope of state or local
February 1966 419
concern. The state police power is likewise of great constitutional scope, and gives states authority within their boundaries that ex- tends to the same activities touched by the Federal interest.
. Interagency relationships in food
and drug work are characterized by varying degrees of cooperation and coordination at and among the sev- eral levels of government, as well as inadequacy of communication, overlapping of activity, and dupli- cation of effort.
. The general food and drug laws of
the states fail to reveal a basic uni- formity among themselves or an adequate correspondence with Fed- eral legislation.
. The unity that characterizes the
organization and operations of reg- ulated industries requires a unity of response in health and economic protection; but instead it is con- fronted by a wide dispersion of reg- ulatory responsibilities and _ cor- responding diversification of view- point and approach in many state governments.
. The commitment of resources by
state and local governments to con- sumer food and drug protection is large in aggregate, whether in terms of money, personnel, or physical facilities. The distribution of these resources among different classes of products and establishments has not been based upon an objective and comprehensive assessment of the points at which attention is most needed.
. In many agencies, one or more of
the necessary elements of sound programming and successful opera- tion are lacking. These include a satisfactory arrangement for close coordination of inspectional and analytical work; an adequate level of personnel development and chal- lenge in job content; efficient sys- tems of reporting, recording, and

state and local re- sponsibility has been very broad in consumer food and drug protection, and even now remains so; if this tradition is to be maintained, the quality and range of resources avail- able to many states must be up- graded, and their wise and mean- ingful application must be greatly improved.
The realities of both the setting and the present conduct of these gov- ernmental programs point to basic needs for: (a) a continuing evalu- ation of the total task; (b) basic uniformity of policy, practice, and approach; (c) fully coordinate co- operation.
Summary of Recommendations
Let us now review quickly a summary of the recommendations of this report.
it
.In regard to drugs,
The interdependency and commu- nity of purpose among Federal, state, and local agencies must be ex- panded and further coordinated, through a balanced state-Federal partnership.
. There must be a clearer delineation
of the respective responsibilities of state and Federal governments so as to reduce the risks of duplica- tion of effort and even conflict that arise from overlapping of Federal and state legal powers.
. The state should assume a broader
role and acquire a more meaning- ful participation in consumer pro- tection with respect to the produc- tion, processing, and distribution of food and feed.
the Federal role should in practice be exclusive in determining standards of quality, purity, strength, efficacy, and safety as well as limitations on dispensing, manufacturing practice, labeling and advertising.
The Federal role should be effec-
. The
February 1966 421
tively exclusive in enforcing stand- ards of efficacy, safety, and manu- facturing practice.
The states should participate more actively in helping enforce standards of quality, purity, strength, dispensing, labeling and advertising. At the point of retail distribution, state responsibility should be greater. The states should actively supplement Federal efforts by discovering and reporting for Federal attention new manufactur- ing and other new establishments.
. The Federal government should in
practice have exclusive responsibil- ity for the safety and quality of all food and drug imports; this respon- sibility should extend to the estab- blishment and enforcement of standards of manufacturing prac- tice, identity, quality, and labeling
. In other relevant areas, the pro-
posed division of work is outlinee below.
The Federal-State division of re sponsibility for cosmetics should fol low that proposed for drugs.
There are other applicable sec- tions relative to hazardous house- hold substances, medical and nu- tritional quackery, and illegal traf- fic in narcotic and _ psychotoxice drugs.
Federal government should exercise more productive leadership in the coordinated use of total pub- lic resources for consumer pro- tection.
. All divisions of the national execu-
tive with responsibilities in the food and drug field should diligently seek and maintain in their programs a balanced view that attempts always to determine the problems of great- est moment and how best they can be solved, and communicate them to the states.
. There should be an enlargement of
Federal assistance to state and lo- eal regulatory agencies.
422 February 1966
10. The assistance program should in- clude a variety of technical assist- ance that will complement state agencies, financial support for spe- cial projects, and payments to agen- cies in recognition for their present contributions.
11. The authority for coordinating projects should be used exclusively.
12. Payments under coordinating proj- ects should vary, within limits, with the scope of the agency’s authority in terms of product coverage and its range of responsibility from pro- duction to consumption.
13. The proposed program should be carefully examined as to concept, operations, and effects, at regular intervals.
14. The executive and administrative leadership in each state should promptly initiate a broad reap- praisal of state and local food and drug programs with a view toward finding opportunities for improve- ment.
15. Each state should examine the con- tent of its entire range of consum- er protective activities.
16. The legal bases for food and drug work should be evaluated for se- curing laws and regulations.
I have quoted liberally and directly from the report in order that those of you who have not had the opportunity to view this document will have, by this review, the nature, extent, and purpose of the recommendations placed before you. There is no doubt that the depth and breadth of this report will serve as the springboard for future plans and programs which ultimately will be re- duced to law in some form or another.
There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the Public Administration Service’s report represents a thorough study of complex problems. The find- ings and recommendations expressed ultimately will effect legislative and regulatory agencies and in turn influ-
The Maryland Pharmacist
ence administration of food and drug laws.
In several instances there is reference to a unified governmental approach to food and drug control laws. Mention is made of the duplication of effort and its resultant effect on costs and effec- tiveness of enforcement. How and what impact this will have on Boards re- mains to be worked out.
Another recommendation of prime importance to us is the reference to the greater role of the Federal gov- ernment in offering leadership and guidance as well as financial aid to state and local agencies. This consid- eration deserves very careful attention. The manner, nature, and extent of fi- nancial aid will require mutual under- standing of the agencies, their pro- grams, and the ability to carry out the new obligations.
With the advent of a highly devel- oped, scientific and expanded drug in- dustry, a realistic delineation of the respective responsibilities is a need that must be met. This too deserves all the thought and imagination we can muster.
At this time I do not wish to be- labor the fact that Boards of Phar- macy derive their authority from the police power of the State, and that hence, each of you is a state official. Boards of Pharmacy have done an ex- cellent and incomparable job in the areas traditionally delegated to them; namely, to certify the safety and com- petence of qualified candidates and gen- erally to supervise the practice of phar- macy and its practitioners, and to carry out a licensing program of those en- gaged in manufacturing, wholesaling and the practice of community phar- macy. Boards of Pharmacy then ad- minister and enforce the provisions of the Pharmacy Practice Acts of their states. In a few states, delegation of authority is extended to administering and enforcing the Narcotic Acts and the Dangerous Drug and Stimulant Acts of Boards of Pharmacy.
The Maryland Pharmacist
Sound Programming
This leads me to another important recommendation of the report, that of sound program planning. A hit and miss plan of programming is indeed no longer in vogue. A refurbished plan of programming which would include ultimate goals, use of personnel, in- spectional and analytical facilities, and sound and efficient recording systems is a must in order to reflect a successful operation. I wish to add that long range goals of planning must be met in order to insure a high level of competence. In this way we can meet and discharge obligations expected of us in areas of cooperation and coordination at the several levels of government.
My interest in drug laws spans the short period of a quarter century. How- ever, in the past decade my interest has been solely and actively engaged in drug law enforcement. I have form- ed an earnest conviction that members of Boards of Pharmacy are a dedicated group of citizens interested in the pub- lic health and safety. From the very beginning, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy has manifested virgin interest in this area as is pointed out in Article IIT of our incorporation, entitled
Object: ‘The purpose of this Associa- tion is to provide for inter-state reciprocity in pharmaceutic li- censure, based upon a _ uniform standard of pharmaceutic educa- tion and uniform legislation; to im- prove standards of pharmaceuti- cal education, licensure and prac- tice by cooperating with State, Na- tional and International Agencies and Associations having similar objects.”
Hence, from its inception, the Na- tional Association of Boards of Phar- macy has had a proud interest in drug laws, and its literature is replete with articles and sessions devoted to drug laws, and drug control and enforcement.
Drug laws affect not only indirectly, but directly the practice of pharmacy.
February 1966 423
It is our hope that the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy can continue to offer leadership, guidance, and assistance to member Boards in this important area.
In his address before the 69th An- nual Conference of Food and Drug Of- ficials of the United States, held in New York City, July 22, 1965, Com- missioner George P. Larrick charac- terized the Findings and Recommenda- tions as follows:
“__WMederal, state, and local govern- ments should enter into a balanced partnership with a proper role established for each.
—In order to assume their proper role, state and local agency pro- grams need to be made more uni- form, strong, and updated.
—The Federal Government and the Food and Drug Administration in particular should assume basic re- sponsibility and exercise leadership in the development of the proper roles and provide financial and technical assistance to the states for purposes of strengthening and upgrading laws, programs, re- sources, facilities, and overall capa- bilities.”
New Law
For just a few brief moments let us now turn to H.R. 2, the Drug Abuse Control Amendment signed by Presi- dent Johnson on July 15, 1965, which is effective February 1, 1966. In the same address, Commissioner Larrick briefly summarized the amendments and makes the following comments:
“Special controls and record-keeping requirements are imposed on the drugs subject to the Bill’s provisions. The Bill establishes authority for regulating intrastate traffic in these drugs and makes possession, other than by the user, illegal outside of legitimate channels of commerce. A significant feature of the Bill is that it eliminates the need to prove in each case that illegal drugs have moved in interstate commerce. F..D.A.

inspectors will be empowered under appropriate conditions to seize de- pressant and stimulant drugs which are being illegally manufactured or distributed and to arrest persons en- gaged in these activities and seize their equipment. Specially authorized inspectors will also have authority to serve warrants, arrest persons appre- hended while engaging in drug coun- terfeiting, and carry firearms for their own protection while conducting dangerous undercover investigations. Stiffer penalties are provided, partic- ularly for peddlers and pushers over 18 years of age who Sell or give the drugs to anyone under 21.
This Bill is not intended to limit or take the place of effective state con- trols where they exist or may later be provided. I would like very much in the next 12 months, as a pilot project in selected areas, to turn over the major regulation of retail drug store to state authorities. We think that this is another field of operation that is more amenable to control by state authorities having drug abuse laws. We solicit your careful thoughts in this matter and invite you to con- vey your views to us in some detail. As more states secure adequate drug abuse laws, adequate enforcement personnel, and develop’ vigorous enforcement, it is essential that their role should increase in the control of this problem, particularly as it is re- lated to intrastate commerce.
We will prepare ourselves to com- mission state and local law enforce- ment officers as is appropriate to carry out certain features of this im- portant legislation. This can be done within the language of Section 702(a) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cos- metic Act.
At the outset the law applies to drugs whether or not they have moved across states lines. Section 2 therefore in- cludes drugs covered, be they in intra- or in inter-state commerce.
Section 3 defines depressant and stim- ulant drugs. Three groups are covered
February 1966 425
by the law:
1. Any drug which contains barbituric acid or its salts and any derivative of barbituric acid which the Secre- tary has designated as habit forming In regulations which have been in effect for some years F.D.A. has des- ignated barbiturates as habit form- ing as well as their salts.
2. Any drug which contains ampheta- mine or any of its optical isomers, or any salts of these, or any sub- stance which the Secretary, by reg- ulation, designates as habit forming because of its stimulant effect on the central nervous system, or
3. Any drug which contains any quan- tity of substance which the Secre- tary, by regulation, designates as having a potential for abuse be- cause of its depressant or stimulant effect on the central nervous system or because of its hallucinatory effect. No chemicals at this time have been designated in this category.
Proposed regulations will be issued to bring drugs other than barbiturates and amphetamines under control in ac- cordance with the provisions of the law.
The new amendments have several specifically prohibited acts which are of interest to you:
1. Manufacturing, processing, or com- pounding the designated drugs, ex- cept by registered drug firms for legal distribution.
2. Distributing the drugs to any per- sons who are not authorized by Fed- eral or state law to receive them.
3. Refilling of these drugs more than five times or more than six months after they are initially prescribed.
4. Possession of depressant or stimu- lant drugs except as authorized by law.
5. Failure to prepare, obtain, or Keep the required records and to permit entry or inspection and copying of such records.
6. Refusal to permit entry or inspec- tion as authorized.
7. Making, selling, keeping, or con- cealing of equipment for counter-
426 February 1966
feiting drugs, and the doing of any act which causes the sale of a coun- terfeit drug.
The new law provides authority for officers and employees of HEW who are designated to conduct such examin- ations relating to such drugs to:
1. Carry firearms;
2. Executive or serve arrest or search
warrants;
3. Execute seizures with or without libels of information (subject in the latter case to prompt institution of libel proceedings) ;
4. Make arrests without warrants in certain cases.
The officers and members of the Executive Committee of the Nationa] Association of Boards of Pharmacy with officials of the Food and Drug Adminis- tration and a representative of the Pub- lic Administration Service met on Sep- tember 16 and 17, 1965 in Washington, D.C. to confer with Commissioner Lar- rick and to discuss and evaluate the Public Administration Service’s report and the Drug Abuse Control Amend- ments of 1965. We were the second group called in as conferees.
Some key points under discussion at the meeting relative to designating a few selected states’ primary responsibil- ity in regulating traffic of psychotoxic drugs are as follows:
1. Which agency would assume princi- pal responsibility for handling re- ports of violations. A possible ar- rangement would be:
(a) Complaints received by FDA against a pharmacy or pharma- cists would be evaluated as to the extent of the violation. If it involved illegal selling of prescription legend drugs in limited quantities or illegal re- filling, this complaint would be channeled to the appropriate state enforcement official. Should the complaint indicate a primary Federal responsibil- ity involving such things as large scale selling of prescrip- tion drugs or diversions to
The Maryland Pharmacist
truck stops or peddlers, this complaint would be retained and investigated by the FDA. (b) When a state enforcement of- ficial received a complaint against a pharmacy or pharma- cist that indicated large di- versions, he would notify the FDA, who in turn would in- vestigate the complaint.
2. Mechanisms could be established for exchanging information about the results of investigations, the drugs involved in illegal traffic and the persons found responsible for such traffic.
3. What arrangements should be made for coordinated planning and train- ing programs.
In this latter category one univers- ity, through its extension service and in conjunction with its school of law, has approached NABP noting its in- terest in a training program for Board of Pharmacy Inspectors and has so- licited the assistance and cooperation of NABP to explore implementation of a program with FDA. The interest of NABP in making such a proposal is to indicate our willingness to enter into a working arrangement with FDA for the ultimate benefit of Board of Phar- macy inspectors which, in turn, we think would increase their opportunities for education and would ultimately benefit the consumer in all states.
It must be understood that as an Association, NABP could not commit an individual state to this pilot project. NABP has offered its services to co- ordinate and facilitate any pilot project FDA undertakes in the _ following months.
Of course, we would expect that any state tendered such an invitation to participate in such a pilot project be accepted, and do the best possible job that can be done.
Extension of the pilot project will depend a great deal on its success. Cer- tainly this is an area of cooperation we dare not forfeit.

HONORARY PRESIDENT
Melville Strasburger, Honorary Presi- dent of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, was born on December 9, 1879 in Westminster, Maryland and his early days were spent in Fredericksburg and Bowling Green, Virginia.
He was graduated from Fredericks- burg College and received his degree in Pharmacy from the Maryland College of Pharmacy (now a Department of the University of Maryland) in 1900.
Married in 1904 to the former Jean- ette Herstein, Mr. Strasburger remained in Baltimore and opened a pharmacy in 1911 at the corner of Madison and North Avenues, which he operated for 31 years, until 1941, the same year in which Mrs. Strasburger passed away. The Strasburgers had two daughters, both of whom are now married, and Mr. Strasburger is the proud grandfather of five.
He has been a member of the Ameri- can Pharmaceutical Association, the NARD and a leading figure in the Wedgwood Club, a secretary of the Bal- timore Retail Druggists Association (now BMPA) and a well-known leader of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation, whose Secretarysh’p he took over in 1942. He served as Executive Secretary and Editor of The Maryland Pharmacist until 1952. In addition, Mr. Strasburger is active in the Baltimore Veteran Druggists Association.
Although Melville Strasburger refers to himself as “retired” none of his col- leagues and friends in pharmacy would agree, saying that he seems as active as ever, contributing his vast knowledge and experience to the profession of pharmacy in myriad ways.
Mr. Strasburger now resides at 116 West University Parkway in Baltimore

Fire Threatens New Owners At Old Kriger's
M.P.A. members C. Robert Welsh and Howard RR. Schiff, along with their new partner, Joseph Beccio, were the victims of a Sunday morning blaze on Feb. 27 at the Kriger Pharmacy, Lafayette Avenue and Poplar Grove Street, which they had taken over from Messers. Levin and Greenfield but three months before.
Virtually undaunted by the mysteri- ous blaze whose cause has yet to be determined, the pharmacists quickly converted their former storeroom into a prescription department and continu- ed to serve their neighborhood without interruption.
In fact, the newly rebuilt store which will be completed in about a month, will be operating at a larger volume than ever. The original pharmacy had been opened in 1928 by the late Ben Kriger.
Sweet little money maker
SUCARYLE SWEETENERS ARE MADE TO TASTE MORE LIKE SUGAR THAN ANY OTHER NON-CALORIC SWEETENER
Leave it to Sucaryl sweeteners to in- novate.
Back in the °50’s, Sucaryl sweeten- ing solution and tablets practically invented the low caloric sweetener market.
Today’s Sucaryl sweetener is a little bit different from that first Sucaryl sweetener—sweeter, more natural tasting, made to taste more like real sugar than any other no-calorie sweetener on the market.
Why don’t other manufacturers make their no-calorie sweeteners the same way?
Simply because they can’t.
The Sucaryl formula is patented— and has been for years.
It’s meaningful innovations like this that keep Sucaryl sweeteners out in front as the largest selling non- calorie sweetener in the marketplace —and the major factor in pharmacy sales of low calorie sweeteners.
Keep Sucaryl sweeteners in mind next time a weight-watcher hands you a prescription. You can’t recom- mend a non-caloric sweet- ener that tastes more like sugar.

Swain Model Pharmacy and Cole Pharmacy Museum
The urgent need for a model phar- macy at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy to serve as a tool for instruction and demonstrations has long been recognized. The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association has taken the leadership in sponsoring the estab- lishment of a model pharmacy in memory of Dr. Robert L. Swain, dis- tinguished Maryland pharmacist who became one of the national and inter- national leaders of his profession. The Swain Model Pharmacy will be installed on the first floor of Dunning Hall on the Baltimore campus of the University of Maryland.
The Swain Model Pharmacy has been designed to incorporate the finest facilities and modern equipment so as to serve a Standard of excellence for both students and graduate practi- tioners of pharmacy. An ophthalmic prescription laboratory and a reference library section to enable the pharmacist to discharge responsibilities as a drug consultant are integral parts.
Nowhere in Maryland is there a focal point for the collection and preserva- tion of the artifacts and memorablia of pharmacy. Many collections of pharmaceutical antiques are rapidly rapidly being dispersed or lost. The Cole Pharmacy Museum, named in honor of Dr. B. Olive Cole, the renowned Pro- fessor Emerita of the School of Phar- macy, is therefore being established. The Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation is fortunate in being the bene- ficiary of the major portion of the large collection of the late L. Manuel Hendler, a long-time friend of phar- macy. The Association is grateful to the Hendler Foundation for donating this magnificent and unique collection. There are also other collections which may become available when suitable exhibition facilities are completed.
The Cole Museum will encompass exhibition cases in the foyer of the Kelly Memorial Building, the main meeting hall on the lower level and the adjoining room, which is planned as the L. Manuel Hendler Apothecary Shop as a restoration of an oldtime pharmacy.
The two thousand pharmacists in Maryland, through these two outstand- ing projects, have an opportunity with- in their grasp to participate in what many consider to be one of the most progressive steps taken by our profes- sion in more than a decade. While sub- stantial support is expected and will be forthcoming from many manufacturers, wholesalers and friends, it is the pro- fession of pharmacy itself which stands to gain most in dignity and prestige through this display of these treasures of the past, and the use of this model pharmacy of the future.
A FAIR SHARE Any gift, large or small, will be help- ful. The pharmacists’ “fair share” participation is based on a_ simple
equation. To meet our goal, we must raise fifteen thousand dollars from the two thousand pharmacists of Maryland as their share of the total cost. If the perfection of one hundred _ percent pharmacists’ participation could be achieved, this would be less than ten dollars from each; a small gift to be sure. Yet there may be those who will want to give more; others for various reasons may not give. Your participation is urged for as large a gift as you can afford, so that we can be certain of success.
Names of all participants will be inscribed in an Honor Roll of Con- tributors to be handsomely bound and to become a permanent record within The Cole Museum.
The Maryland Pharmacist
A limited number of memorial opportunities will be available for more substantial gifts. You may contact the chairman of The Swain-Cole Fund for more information.
All gifts are needed. Gifts large or small may be given with great dignity and pride—as your part in this progress for pharmacy.
ed pee
SUBSTANTIAL financial support, in addition to that from Maryland Phar- maceutical Association, has already been granted by the Alumni Association of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, the Baltimore Metro- politan Pharmaceutical Association, and firms in fields of drug manufactur- ing, wholesaling and pharmacy practice.
AT THIS time an appeal for addi- tional support is being made to all phar- macists in Maryland and to other man- uacturers, wholesalers and suppliers in the field of pharmacy. Suggestions for participation and for your support ap- pear below.
This is an opportunity for phar- macists and those associated with phar- macy to participate in projects which will.
@ serve as educational tools for stu-
dents and graduates.
@ gather and preserve the artifacts and memorablia of the profession and its leaders.
@ be a potent public relations means in enhancing pharmacy’s image with the general public and other professions.
@ serve as stimuli to attract out- standing young pnfople to consider a career in phaimacy.

Dr. Guttmacher Defends Oral Contraceptives
Former Baltimorean, Dr. Alan F. Guttmacher, President of Planned Parenthood—World Population, writ- ing in The Physician’s Panorama (published by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals) has said that fears of thromboembolic involvement in women taking oral con- traceptives have no basis in proven medical fact. He calls the “orals” the best method of birth control for the newly married couple.
Dr. Guttmacher advises his readers, mostly general practitioners of medicine, to prescribe the oral contraceptives for “two cycles before marriage so that the relatively transient, minor effects will have had time to disappear before the honeymoon. Furthermore, a bride may remain on the pill throughout the honeymoon, taking one pill each day and thus postponing the menses until a more convenient time.”
Further, the specialist counsels, “Don’t be in a hurry to have a baby... get better acquainted and adjusted.” Such advice is especially called for in the case of teenage marriages, he emphasized, since 40 percent of them end in divorce.
Only when the bride is 25 or over is delay in beginning her family unwise, says Dr. Guttmacher, since ‘the best ally of pregnancy and birth is youth... [it is] important for doctors to stress this advantage of youth with each couple for whom we prescribe con- traception.”
Among other contraceptives which Dr. Guttmacher rates as highly effective are the intrauterine devices. His article includes a discussion of other tech- niques, including evaluation.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association consists primarily of independent community pharmacists, and independent community pharma- cists of Baltimore have many problems in common, the first of which is: Are they really independent?
The truth of the matter is, they are not fully independent. They are subject to the whims and caprices of large drug manufacturers.
During my thirty years as a pharmacist in this area, I have heard many and varied complaints about the policies of the drug manufacturers, not only the minimum purchases involved, but more, the reluctance of the manufacturers to make adjustments on outdated and obsolete pharmaceuticals. Today this has be- come an increasingly acute situation because of the rapid advancement in the development of antibiotics and steroids. New products and new combinations of existing products are put on the market every day, pushing hundreds of special- ties of these same houses to the back of the shelf. What is the result?
The result is a chamber of horrors. Unopened bottles, in some cases open bottles; outdated and obsolete antibiotics; all representing thousands of dollars invested in purchase of same, which cannot be sold or even given away. The manufacturer has failed to fulfill his repsonsibility to make adjustments.
If the manufacturer has failed to do a good selling job to the physician, or the product has not proved to be as effective as expected, why should the inde- pendent pharmacist have to foot the bill?
One duty of the Association is to try to correct this situation. Inform Joseph Morton, Chairman of the Trade Relations Committee, of your particular problem. Your particular problem can be the same problem as that of 450 other drug store owners of the metropolitan area. A communication from the Association is actually a communication from all drug store owners.
I feel that a concerted and unified effort by the members and the Association should produce some results. This is the least that we should do for ourselves in order to survive as independent community pharmacists.
Sincerely,
JEROME A. STIFFMAN President

Evolution of TAMPA B
JOHN A. CROZIER Secretary-Treasurer TAMPA
Supposedly, there has always been a Traveler’s Auxiliary of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association (at least as long as there has been a Maryland Pharmaceutical Association) which has as its principal duties the furnishing of entertainment for the pharmacists and their friends at the annual conventions, but of this early organization, such as it was, little can be said, other than that they did furnish entertainment in an impromptu way, which was, of course, enjoyed by all attending the conven- tions. Nothing elaborate or in any way requiring any great amountt of effort or sacrifice on the part of such Auxiliary members was given. Naturally, the at- tendance in those days was _ small compared to present-day crowds.
The Auxiliary as it existed then met twice yearly, just before, and at con- vention time; then all activities ceased until another year went by. All this can be verified by talking to some of the old timers or members of MPA if still living.
At Braddock Heights, Maryland, in June 1916, TAMPA as it is known today was organized, and monthly meetings were begun in July of the same year. We now boast of having furnished en- tertainment, some lavish, some not quite so lavish, for half a century—this June at convention marking our fiftieth year —and especially can we say “boast”, since our programs have seemed always to be successful; they always ask for more.
Of course, TAMPA, in its first years, had its struggles, monetary and other, which are experienced by all organiza- tions at their inception, bult this did not deter its officers and members from put- ting forth greater efforts to make the desired success, or, aS we are today, a STRONG organization of 129 members and 18 honorary members. The Auxili- ary has a good financial standing; and
of all the members we do not fear to make the statement “that each of them is a good fellow and a gentleman”.
Today we still perform the duties per- formed by the old Auxiliary and find time to have increased our meetings from two to ten a year. We have written our own constitution and by-laws and our members pay their dues promptly and cooperate in every conceivable way toward continuing the success of TAMPA. Our entertainments are larger, more lavish and modern and, needless to say, our following has increased be- yond all hopes held for us in the be- ginning.
We pride ourselves on the fact that any salesman coming into our midst benefits in many ways from the organi- zation, and last but not least, we can truthfully say we are known all over the United States as a crowd of ener- getic go-getters and as being the most congenial of all state auxiliaries. This statement may seem as though we are patting ourselves on our own shoulders; nevertheless, it is all true, and can be verified.
TAMPA of today is very thankful for the leadership of such men as Messrs. Duvall, Read, Neal, L. M. Hendler, Southall, Steiner, Armstrong, Piper, Manchester, Requards, Hollingshead, Love, Keppler, Hoy, Wright and other Past Presidents who followed them, as well as many faithful workers in the ranks, and for the loyalty and friend- ship of all its members in the task of making the organization as it is today.
To the newer and younger members of TAMPA, here’s hoping that you will be one of the men to attend our meet- ings regularly. You will not be disap- pointed and can be assured of great benefit from contacts formed and friendships made.

The William Simon Memorial Prize
By B. OLIVE COLE*
One of the most appreciated honors annually awarded in Pharmacy is the William Simon Memorial Prize, a medal first offered by Doctor Simon in 1882 in the Maryland College of Pharmacy, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, and annually provided by him until he resigned in 1902. It was stipulated that the prize be awarded for superior pro- | ficiency in practical and analytical chemistry, the recipient to stand high ‘in all subjects and the Professor of Chemistry to be guided in his recom- mendation for its reception by observa- tion and personal contact as much as by grades in examinations.
The course in analytical chemistry was added to the curriculum of the Col- lege on March 20, 1872, and attendance upon the course was made obligatory with Dr. Simon as Director of the Chemical Laboratory. On April 1, 1878, the chairs of theoretical and analytical chemistry were combined and placed under the direction of Dr. Simon.
The classes were held in two build- ings: first, the grammar school pur- chased from the City of Baltimore and dedicated on October 12, 1876, Dr. Lewis H. Steiner giving the address; and in the well-equipped building erected on the same site, which cost approximately $30,000, part of the money having been raised by a mortgage on the property and some $13,000 having been advanced by members of the College in 1886 and secured by Certificates of Indebtedness of the College. The Maryland College of Pharmacy building was sold following the Baltimore fire in 1904, to Jacob Ep- stein for use of the Hebrew Friendly Inn, the Maryland College of Pharmacy being amalgamated as the Department of Pharmacy with the group of profes-
*Emeritus Professor, School of Pharmacy, Uni- versity of Maryland.
sional schools in Baltimore then known as the University of Maryland.
Origins of the Fund
The mortgage was paid and the pay- ment of the Certificates of Indebtedness held by members of the College was prorated at a percenitage lower than the original investment. Dr. Simon, who held one of the Certificates of Indebted- ness, presented it to the College and re- ceived $111.00. In 1904 it was “Resolved that the Maryland College of Pharmacy recommend to the Department of Phar- macy of the University of Maryland that it obligate itself to provide annually a prize to be known as the Simon Prize; that the balance of the bequest be placed in a Savings Bank, the interest to be used, if necessary, for assisting in securing said prize.” Interested alumni and friends solicited additional dona- tions and in 1937 a $500.00 Wheeling Steel Corporation Bond was turned over to the Board of Regents for investment by the Safe Deposit and Trust Com- pany for use of the Simon Memorial Prize. Further donations were solicited from time to time from the graduates and friends of pharmacy, especially in 1953, when the sum of $1,030.00 was collected, and the Financial Office of the University of Maryland reported in Qc- tober that approximately $1,700.00 was in the account for the use of the Wil- liam Simon Memorial Prize.
It would be interesting to compile a list of ‘“‘Who’s Who in Pharmacy” com- posed of the graduates who, in the 83 Years between 1882 and 1965, have re- ceived at graduation the William Simon Memorial Medal for proficiency in chemistry. Every graduate of the School of Pharmacy knows it to be a real honor.

Simon’s Background
Dr. William Simon was born in Eber- stardt, Germany, February 20, 1844. His father was a Lutheran minister who died when William was seven years old. Dr. Simon was educated in Giessen Col- lege, was a drug clerk in Giessen and received the Ph.D. degree from the Uni- versity of Giessen. He was in the Franco-Prussian War. He came to Balti- more in 1870 as a chemist for the Balti- more Chrome Works, and in 1872 be- came associated with the Maryland Col- lege of Pharmacy. A man of varied abil- ities, he always recognized duty as pre- eminent and, as such, obtained ease of conscience and deserved praise, as well as a considerable fortune. He was the author of the “Manual of Chemistry” which went through ten or more edi- tions, and also made scholarly contri- butions to domestic and foreign jour- nals. He excelled in simplified assay processes and in economic methods of analysis, but it was as a teacher, author and friend that he was loved and most honored.
The Maryland Pharmacist
Dr. Simon became President of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association in 1887. When he retired from the Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1902, Dr. Charles Caspari, Jr., on behalf of the Faculty, presented Dr. Simon with a loving cup, to which Dr. Simon re- sponded with a short account of his career as a teacher in the College. He was a unique and entertaining lecturer and speaker. One of his interests was colored photography, using the colored salts of chromium. He was also inter- ested in liquid air and demonstrated the freezing of mercury.
In 1873, Dr. Simon married the for- mer Paula Driver, an artist, who as- sisted in providing the colored plates used in the many editions of the “Man- ual of Chemistry’. Dr. Simon was a middle-sized man, raw-boned, with thick darkish hair, mustache and full beard, large shapely head, who wore glasses continuously for astigmatism, having a voice clear and middle-tone in pitch. He was an original and inventive thinker, a man with humor and bright- ness, popular with students, pharma- cists, physicians and friends. He died at Eaglesmere Park on July 18, 1916.

School of Pharmacy
The APhA-MPA Student Chapter Meeting took place February 15, 1966, at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, with approximately 90 members in attendance.
The main order of business at the Business half of the meeting concerned the plans for Career Day, March 28 - April 1, at which students will be at the booths.
The special meeting which followed concerned career opportunities with Lederle Laboratories; the speakers were Mr. Robert Snyder and Dr. C. Richard Tamorria, who explained openings at Lederle for pharmacy graduates on the bachelor’s, master’s and _ doctorate levels.
The first category discussed was that of Products, which offered openings for pharmacists with bachelor degree in a) the processing and improvement laboratory, b) the technical laboratory (two pharmacists) and c) international products or FDA representative. In the area of Scientific Learning, for those pharmacists holding M.S. and Ph.D degrees, there is the division of research and development. Those who would be employed at the Marketing Research and Advertising levels would need advanced business degrees and would work in packaging design or analytical control and assay.
The Company offers Educational As- sistance Programs, or courses which would enhance a pharmacist’s value to Lederle, and also medical and life insurance plans, a retirement plan and vacation plans.
Following the meeting, interested students were able to obtain individual interviews with Mr. Snyder and Dr. Tamorria.
Stephen L. Buckner, Secretary, served as reporter for the meeting.

N.A.R.D. Distributes Medicare
Booklets
In cooperation with the Social Secu- rity Administration, the National As- sociation of Retail Druggists has dis-
tributed hundreds of thousands of booklets entitled “The Pharmacist Speaks to his Customers about Medicare.”
Willard B. Simmons, Executive Sec- retary of N.A.R.D., made the announce- ment of the booklet and urged all retail druggists to participate in this far- reaching educational program by order- ing the necessary, cost-free supplies.
Mr. Simmons stated, “This is a splendid opportunity for the retail druggists of America to be of tremen- dous service to millions of our senior citizens who qualify for the Medicare program and, of course, their families, while at the same time enhancing their professional stature...” He continued, “The public has always looked upon their drug stores as community health educational centers and this joint pro- ject will provide druggists with the occasion to reemphasize this role.

Diabetes Screening In Jersey Highly Effective
East Orange, New Jersey has been the focus of an intense program of diabetes casefinding program which concen- trates on “high risk” population groups: relatives of known diabetics, women who have borne large babies, the obese and the elderly. The program has un- covered 34 new cases of diabetes for every 1,000 people tested by venous glu- cose determinations. This compares with the average 8.6 per thousand obtained nationally in diabetes screening pro- grams which, for the most part, test random populaltion groups.
According to the author of an article which appeared in GP magazine, Dr. Kenneth Shine, the auspices, which in- clude the East Orange Health Depart- ment, the Essex County Medical Society and the New Jersey Staite Healith De- partment, carries on an extensive pro- motional campaign of leaflets, posters, exhibits, newspaper articles and films urging high-risk persons to take a free blood test. Promotional and educational materials are supplied by the Upjohn Company.
No person was declared a “new case” of diabetes until his private physician rendered this diagnosis.

Distribution Services, Inc. Negotiates First Lease
The Mercury Plaza Shopping Center in Hampton, Virginia, will be the site of a 10,000 square foot drug store. It is the first such location to be leased under a new Distribution Services, Inc. program. The area has been subleased to Hampton pharmacist Charles A. Warnom.
DSI, the corporation formed recently by twenty-four prominent wholesale drug firms located throughout the country to aid independent retail phar- macists in obtaining access to prime retail drug store locations, has its head- quarters in Washington, D.C. It operates nationwide through the stockholder firms, and has distributed a brochure describing its method of operation and listing over 80 wholesale drug establish- ments that are now ready to enter into negotiations for shopping center and other prime retail pharmacy leases. Recipients of the brochure were some 5,000 realtors, builders, developers and mortgage lenders throughout the United States.
Mercury Plaza is a regional shopping center featuring an enclosed air-con- ditioned mall and containing a 115,000 square foot Montgomery Wards depart- ment store.
In making the announcement, D.S.I. President James E. Allen stated, “We believe the health needs of every com- munity are best served by local retail pharmacists who are allowed to con- veniently bring their professional ser- vices to the public. They are unable to render this service when they are deni- ed access to prime new drug store loca- tions. With the completion of this first lease negotiation, D.S.I. appears to be well on its way to achieving its intend- ed purpose of obtaining prime retail locations for the independent pharma- cists across the nation.
“Our program is proceeding as plann- ed, with this lease just the first to be completed of several that are currently under active consideration,’ continued Mr. Allen, who is also President of the Henry B. Gilpin Company.
Copies of the D.S.I. brochure may be obtained by writing them at 1725 K. Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. or by telephoning 202 - 659-2338.

GETTING ALONG
Here are some thoughts on how to get along in this world. They aren't original and the Author is not known. But hardly anyone will say they are not good rules to follow. And they're not easy to follow. Read the list thoughtfully:
. Keep skid chains on your tongue. Always say less than you think.
. Make promises sparingly, and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs you.
. Never let the opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging word to or about somebody. Praise good work, regardless who did it.
. Be interested in others, in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes and families. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard him as one of importance.
. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up.
. Keep an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but don't argue.
. If you have virtues. let them speak for themselves. Refuse to talk of another's vices.

How to followa hematinic sale with repeat business
One way is to recommend Zentinic, a hematinic that provides results. It contains recognized im- portant hematinic factors needed to treat iron deficiency as well as certain nutritional deficien- cies of the B complex—factors like too mg. of
iron as well-tolerated ferrous fumarate. Zentinic
also has a generous 200 mg. of vitamin C, an essential nutrient in its own right that gives further assurance of the absorption of iron. A safe quantity of folic acid has been added to the formula to provide the beneficial effect of this blood-building vitamin. Finally, the other B complex vitamins are included for normal red- blood-cell formation and general nutritional support. In total, a comprehensive array of
antianemia factors. And because they work in
anemia, your customers come back for more.

SUCARYL SWEETENERS ARE MADE TO TASTE MORE LIKE SUGAR THAN ANY OTHER NON-CALORIC SWEETENER
Leave it to Sucaryl sweeteners to in- novate.
Back in the °50’s, Sucaryl sweeten- ing solution and tablets practically invented the low caloric sweetener market.
Today’s Sucaryl sweetener is a little bit different from that first Sucaryl sweetener—sweeter, more natural tasting, made to taste more like real sugar than any other no-calorie sweetener on the market.
Why don’t other manufacturers make their no-calorie sweeteners the same way?
Simply because they can’t.
The Sucaryl formula is patented— and has been for years.
It’s meaningful innovations like this that keep Sucaryl sweeteners out in front as the largest selling non- calorie sweetener in the marketplace —and the major factor in pharmacy sales of low calorie sweeteners.
Keep Sucaryl sweeteners in mind next time a weight-watcher hands you a prescription. You can’t recom- mend a non-caloric sweet- ener that tastes more like sugar. 601296

“For Our Dignity And Prestige" COLE PHARMACY MUSEUM SWAIN MODEL PHARMACY
The Cole Pharmacy Museum, sponsored by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation, has now been established in the Kelly Memorial Building, headquarters of pharmacy in Maryland. This museum has been named in honor of an illustrious alumna of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy who served on the faculty and as Acting Dean.
Miss Cole also contributed to the profession through her writing, which still continues, on the history of pharmacy in Maryland. We are indebted to her for her research into the early history of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, the Alumni Association and the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, as well as the history of the practice of pharmacy in her native State.
Now, with the installation of cases in the foyer of the Kelly memorial Building, “phase one” of the Cole Museum is complete. We are especially fortunate in receiv- ing the major portion of the priceless pharmaceutical collection of the late L. Manuel Hendler. Memorabilia from the distinguished careers of Miss Cole, Dr. Robert L. Swain and Dr. E. F. Kelly will also be housed in the museum. Working tirelessly to display and arrange these valuable artifacts of pharmacy is Morris L. Cooper, who, as curator, contributes many hours and days of his time.
The Swain-Cole Fund has been founded to enable the establishment of the Swain Model Pharmacy and the Cole Museum, which will include the L. Manuel Hendler Apothecary Shop. The Swain Model Pharmacy is now being installed in the Dunning Hall of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, adjoining the Kelly Memo- rial Building.
All alumni, pharmacists, members of the drug industry and friends of Miss Cole and Dr. Swain will receive a brochure with the opportunity to contribute to these two projects. As the brochure states, “it is the profession of pharmacy itself which stands to gain the most in dignity and prestige through this display of these treas- ures of the past, and the use of this model pharmacy of the future.”
We are especially indebted to the vision and patient efforts of the Chairman of the Swain Model Pharmacy and Cole Museum Committee, Irving I. Cohen. Through his complete dedication to the realization of these goals, progress to this point has been made possible.
The dedication of the Swain Model Pharmacy is planned for the Fall of 1966 when the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy observes the 125th Anni- versary of its founding.
We are confident that all members of the pharmaceutical community—both in Maryland and elsewhere—will wish to participate in these projects, which advance the profession of pharmacy, through a generous gift to the Swain-Cole Fund.
SPACE is your problem, too.
Today, with more people, more products and more promo- tions than ever before, space management is a key problem to pharmacists.
To help you meet this need, Johnson & Johnson is making available a new working manual and motion picture entitled “SPACE PROJECT.” This is the newest of its continuing mil- lion-dollar program for storewide improvement. ..available free to pharmacists.
Continuous store modernization becomes more impor- tant each day. See this new motion picture at your next association meeting or ask your Johnson & Johnson repre- sentative for full particulars.

466 March 1966 The Maryland Pharmacist?
President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
I should like to take a few lines of this issue of The Maryland Pharmacist to record a few observations regarding the Maryland Welfare Program and the pharmacist. I look back at the “‘thirty-five cent fee’ and ‘“‘cost of container’ era and then assess our present day structure. Not too long ago, the retail pharmaceutical practitioner was clearly subsidizing the Welfare Program, where it pertained to medication. I know it was with reluctance but most of us did accept this program as a way of life. Looking back at the complete picture one wonders why the health professions always were singled out to contribute services and materials to a State that was paying the full price for any other services they purchased (for example: road and building construction, bridge building, fuel supplies and so on).
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association assumed the responsibility for re- storing proper remuneration to the pharmacists for filling these medical care prescriptions. The committees and representatives assigned to this task worked relentlessly to achieve an acceptable fee structure and it was with a great deal of satisfaction that Gordon Mouat, the present navigator of the program, announced our new one-dollar and two-dollar fees. The office already has informed you of the accomplishment and related details, so I will not dwell on those.
Several points, however, are worthy of note as we examine our present re- lationship with the State. First, we have not been burdened with unnecessary rgulations and cooperation has been excellent. Secondly, the dignity of pharmacy has been preserved. The physician, too, has been given a fairly free range in prescribing. These factors alone tend to keep pharmacy on an even keel.
I have visited the Baltimore City Medical Care facilities, spoken to everyone connected with the processing of these prescriptions and must report an excellent relationship. I also had the privilege of being invited to the Pharmacy Services Committee meeting, at which I observed Chairman Mouat and Messrs. Yaffe, Fedder and Gruz in action. I can sincerely report to you that they are not resting on their laurels. Already they have presented a very concise and worthy proposal for the 1967 budget, the enactment of which all of you would find satisfactory. These gentlemen have projected pharmacy into its proper perspective within the medical care picture. This we will all agree is an imperative program at this time.
I regret that time and space does not permit analysis of each of the Associa- tion’s programs, but I can assure you that all committees are working with com- parative zeal.
I am proud and grateful for such devoted service.
Sincerely,
it Gui
President

A Message from the Executive Secretary
Pharmacists and Medicare
Medicare legislation, long opposed by organized medicine and pharmacy, will bring more adequate health care to many segments of the population. The aged over 65, the medically indigent, dependent children, the blind — all will have new channels of medical Care open.
Alert pharmacists will be able to take advantage of new opportunities to expand their pharmaceutical services to the community. All pharmacists will be able to share in the increased num- ber of prescriptions that will be gen- erated as various provisions go into effect.
Many community pharmacists will find that they can serve as part-time pharmacists or pharmacy consultants to nursing homes and extended care facilities. It will be necessary for such pharmacists to become skilled in the pharmaceutical and administrative pro- cedures required to meet the needs of these institutions. Phiarmacists will have to become conversant with both Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Admendments of 1965 (Medi- care).
Guidelines are being laid down for the hospitals, nursing homes and other institutions that wish to qualify for remuneration for health care provided to beneficary patients. Pharmacists will have to become expert regarding the guidelines laid down for pharmaceutical services in those institutions whch re- quest accreditation.
As details become available, the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association
will familiarize members with require- ments.
Swain Pharmacy Seminar
The 1966 Robert L. Swain Pharmacy Seminar was received enthusiastically by the community and hospital phar- macists who attended.
Continuing educaition has become an integral part of the life of professionals in all fields and pharmacy can be no exception. The Maryland Pharmaceuti- cal Association, along with the Uni- versity of Maryland School of Phar- macy, has been sponsoring the one-day Swain Pharmacy Seminar as a first step in a continuing education program. Surely every pharmacist must now realize that pharmaceutical knowledge rapidly becomes obsolete a few years after graduation. The time is rapidly coming when a pharmacist will have to devote several days a year to refresher courses, Attendance at the MPA con- vention, Simon Solomon Pharmacy Eco- nomics Seminar, A.Ph.A. Annual meet- ings, regional meetings of the Academy of General Practice of the A.Ph.A., as well as those of local pharmaceutical associations devoted to professional subjects, is essential to keep a phar- macist well informed.
The pharmacist who allocates time in
his schedule to continuing education will |
be in the best position to serve his community. He will be the pharmacist who is best qualified to serve as a drug consultant to small hospitals and nurs- ing homes as well as the physicians, dentists and other health practitioners in his area.

The Maryland Pharmacist
Pharmaceuticals—Brand Name and Generic: What are the Differences?
By: SAMUEL W. GOLDSTEIN*
Presented at the Annual Robert L. Swain Pharmacy Seminar, March, 1966.
I accepted the invitation of Executive Secretary Nathan Gruz, not so much because I thought I could further en- lighten you, but rather to take this opportunity to participate in a Robert L. Swain Seminar. These programs reflect to some extent Dr. Swain’s de- votion to pharmacy and his inspiration to all who knew him or know of him and his contributions to pharmacy in Maryland and the United States.
The subject for this panel presenta- tion is one that can cause, at times, emotional disputes. We might try to say it in different ways, but the Estes Kefauver legacy in this area is a di- rective to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, operat- ing through FDA, to attempt to have so-called “established names” that are as €asy to say and to write as are the trade-marked names of the correspond- ing drugs. And FDA, by its regulation that the nonproprietary name must be printed every time the trade name is printed, is making its Strongest effort to popularize the “established name” among those who prescribe and dispense medicinal agents.
Until now the greatest effect of the 1962 amendments on the nomenclature provisions of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetics Act has been to limit the names of drugs in the official com - pendia to the official title as the estab- lished name. This is the reason that those of you who frequently refer to the National Formulary and the United States Pharmacopeia have not seen the old synonyms that were given in the compendia monographs previous to N.F.

XII and USP, XVII. The law said: take them out; there can be only one (1) established name. Those who read the compendia from cover to cover have already discovered that, as an aid to old-timers during the transition period, the N.F. and the U.S.P. have listed the old synonyms and former names of of - ficial drugs in the information sections of the books.
I am here to dissipate any emotional] tension that might result from a dis- cussion of the subject before us. One emotion that I might stimulate is nostalgia.
It was during the 1959-1961 period that the World Health Organization, the British Pharmacopoeia Commission, and the original A.M.A.-U.S.P. Nomen- clature Committee activated their pro- grams of devising names for new chemi- cal compounds that might become the- rapeutic agents. About the same time, Mr. Kefauver became politically ob- sessed with the idea of “one-name, one- price” for drugs of the same chemical] composition and for their dosage forms.
During and since my pharmacy stu- dent days, I have deeply sympathized with the practitioner who must re- member so many names of different drugs and different names for the same drug, particularly if he did not have an exceptional memory. There were many kinds of listings of drugs, but I felt there was a need for a simple, limited listing for quick cross-reference, by the pharmacist particularly, that would correlate trade names and official titles of drugs.
In 1955, I decided to do something about it. The opportunity presented it- self when, at that time, I was invited to discuss the new U.S.P. XV and N.F. X at a meeting of the Maryland Phar- maceutical Association. I knew my old
The Maryland Pharmacist
friends would give me a kind and at- tentive hearing, but I wanted to re- ward them for it. The compilation of a mimeographed, cross-referenced listing entitled, ‘Drug Products—Official Titles and Trade Names,” was completed in time for the meeting, and it was made available at the end of my speech. The interest in such a listing was imme- diately apparent; the entire lot was taken, and many requested additional copies. In order to acquaint my then superior at A.Ph.A. Headquarters, Dr. Robert P. Fischelis, with the demand for the compilation in the hope that A.Ph.A. would continue the project, re- quests for copies of the pamphlet were directed to him. Dr. Fischelis recognized the demand. The pamphlet was rear- ranged, and it has been revised three times; the latest revision includes the drugs in the 1965 editions of the U.S.P. and N.F. The latest revision of the book- let has been incorporated into the USAN Council program.
Regulated Nomenclature
When a_ pharmaceutical scientist thinks of a medicinal substance, he pic- tures the research that was performed to obtain or synthesize the substance, and the steps required to purify it to meet suitable standards. If either the U.S.P. or N.F. finds the drug suitable for admission as a therapeutic agent, a monograph is developed which includes essential minimum requirements of tests and assay for identity, strength, quality and purity. I might stress that the compendial requirements’ are standards of minimum limits that must be satisfied before the article may be labeled with the official title, with or without the added designation of “N.F.”’ or “U.S.P.” The manufacturer is bound to meet at least the compendial mini- mum standards and, if possible, ap- proach theoretical perfection. But, even if perfection is achieved, the product is meeting the compendial requirements and cannot correctly be claimed to be better than the official standards. The ethics of the manufacturer and the skill
March 1966 47|
of his research, development, and con- trol personnel will largely determine how near to perfection the product will be.
It has not been so many years since some of you, or your fathers, thought the inorganic chemistry instructor was a so-and-so because he expected stu- dents to know that the Class Study As- signment included the formula for something like permanganate or di- chromate. You or they later learned that those compound formulas were simple when organic chemistry required understanding the translation of tongue-twisters to two-dimensional structural formulas. Inorganic nomen- clature has been fairly stabilized for a long time because international agree- ment was achieved, to a large extent, years ago. We are now witnessing at- tempts to do the same with organic chemical names, with abbreviated ver- sions of those names, and with short- hand versions in the devising of non- proprietary names.
In the United States, we have the USAN Council (or the United States
Adopted Names Council) comprising representatives from the American Medical Association, the American
Pharmaceutical Association through the National Formulary, and the United States Pharmacopeial Convention through the U.S. Pharmacopeia. Britain has its BAN (the British Adopted Name program of the British Pharmacopoeia Commission) and the United Nations has, through its World Health Organization, INN (Internation- al Nonproprietary Name). Progress is being made to the extent that these various groups have agreed on a signifi- cant number of abbreviated designations for organic chemical moieties and molecules. In some instances the dif- ferent nomenclature groups have start- ed with a chemical name and have con- cluded with an almost identical “short- hand name” or nonproprietary name. Slight variations are usually eliminated by conference in order to have, when- ever it is feasible, one international
472 March 1966
The Maryland Pharmacist
name. In some instances, the name variations are difficult to resolve because they are directly related to the existing differences in the basic principles fol- lowed by the nomenclature experts.
Guidelines for Experts in Nomenclature
It is only natural for a chemist- expert to want even an extremely ab- breviated name to give clues to its chemical origin. A pharmacologist-ex- pert would prefer names that reflect or indicate a part or all of the pertinent pharmacodynamic or therapeutic action of the substance. The British and W.H.O. groups have guiding principles that are oriented mainly toward chemi- cal connotation, and avoidance of pharmacological suggestion or thera- peutic indication.
The USAN Council follows these gen- eral rules:
1. A name should be distinctive in sound and spelling. It should be con- veniently short and be such as to minimize the risk of confusion with other names currently or formerly in common use.
2. A name should indicate the general pharmacologic or therapeutic class into which the substance falls or the general chemical nature of the sub- stance if the latter is associated with a specific pharmacologic activity.
3. The name of the first or parent sub- stance of a new group should embody a syllable or syllables characteristic of that group. A name of a member of the same group subsequently in- troduced should incorporate the dis- tinctive letter combination in such a way that the association will be rec- ognizable.
The American guiding principles are less restrictive and, to some extent, per- mit devised names to reflect the view of the chemist or the pharmacologist. The possible difficulty is faced by the unin- formed who might try to rationalize the chemical identity of a compound from
the nonproprietary name that has been pharmacologically oriented.
One should not feel that strange things are happening in nomenclature. Years ago, we accepted without ques- tion the common name for the ortho- carboxyhydroxybenzene. Even now, that name, which is clearly descriptive to a pharmaceutical chemist, sounds strange to most of us who know the compound as salicylic acid. Some of us might recall vaguely that the whole organic chemical cyclic system was in some way related to Kekule’s vision of snakes joined mouth-to-tail to form benzene rings or hexagons. If Kekule were reporting his vision today, some- one would almost certainly spring to his defense. They would plead that Kekule should not be condemned for his hallucinatory state; that he really was sick, that seeing snakes was only a symptom, and that he could be cured and restored to a normal and produc- tive life. Fortunately for Kekule, and for posterity, he continued to be ab- normally productive.
Chemistry students in the next gen- eration will see nothing strange in be- ing told to learn that an organic radi- cal or moiety is named closylate; even as we accepted the same radical desig- nated as para-chlorobenzenesulfonate; or the similar relation of camsylate to camphorsulfonate, or cypionate to para- cyclopentylpropionate.
Now we might start with a hypotheti- cal chemical compound, dichlorome- thylhydropiperidinyl 4,4’-methylenbis (3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate), and all the nomenclature authorities could arrive at the nonproprietary name “clome- droxyl pamoate.’’ The experts “in the know” could probably reconstruct the chemical name and therefore know what it represents. The present and future students of pharmacy and medi- cine will accept what these experts are so laboriously devising. There is always a transition period for a new develop- ment, and nomenclature is no ex- ception.
The Maryland Pharmacist
March 1966 473
Thousands of practicing pharmacists and physicians, and others in the health field, will, for some time to come, be unable to interpret the assigned non- proprietary names of new medicinal agents. But they will relate the name to the agent and its use; and, if it is short, they might remember it in ad- dition to that other word—the trade name. The main difference between the names at the present time is that the trade name has been devised with an eye and ear to ease of reading, writing, pronouncing, memorizing, and (in many instances) relating the product through its name to its recommended appli- cation.
Effect of USAN on Future Nomenclature
When one takes into consideration the fact that the USAN program is only in its fifth year of operation, its progress and achievements are very encouraging. Already a significant acceptance by the pharmaceutical industry and the indi- cated informal approval by some federal government agencies have facilitated the USAN Council’s contribution to a more rational and reasonable situation regarding the assignment of nonpro- prietary names to new compounds that are being considered for use as thera- peutic agents. The extent to which this more rational approach will lessen the chaotic condition that stemmed from the haphazard naming of compounds will become more evident as the newer medicinal entities replace those that become obsolete. And, in these times, the rate of drug obsolescence is fairly rapid. The former unorganized pro- cedure of naming new compounds often resulted in having one substance ap- pearing in the chemical, medical, and pharmaceutical literature under five or more nonproprietary names in addition to more than one chemical name and various code designations. The USAN program hopefully will limit the no- menclature for each new substance to one nonproprietary name. Although this
would not affect the number of trade names, it should be clear that the re- cording and memorizing of names per- tinent to a single drug substance should be very significantly simplified by this progressive program.
Dosage Forms
When the pharmaceutical scientist considers the drug dosage form that is prepared to make the medicinal sub- stance suitable for administration, he thinks primarily of the physiological availability of the drug from the dosage form to the patient. The Kefauver con- cept of a medicinal substance being the same from any and all sources begins to run into difficulty at this point. If the substance with the same chemical name and the same established name or so-called generic name is prepared by different manufacturers, it might pos- sess certain variable characteristics that might not be detected by the estab- lished test procedures. Even if all the lots of the drug are found to meet every conceivable test, this does not guar- antee that the dosage forms prepared from the drug will be identical. Furth- ermore, if 10 different tablet formula- tors start with portions of a drug from a batch that was prepared by only one manufacturer, one cannot say with cer- tainty that the drug will be as readily and completely available to the patient from each of the 10 lots of tablets— even assuming that each lot meets the new content uniformity test.
How then can a pharmacist tell if Tablets of X drug offered for sale by firms A and B are medicinally better than the tablets with the same official name being offered by firms C through G? The pharmacist who accepts the appraisal of a layman, and proceeds on the assumption that the tablets are equivalent because of the remote possi- bility that some enforcement agency, like FDA, has tested them all, is hardly utilizing his professional knowledge. He might, however, proceed on the basis of his questionable assumption to se-
474 March 1966
The Maryland Pharmacis?
lect his stock simply on the basis of lowest cost to him. He might justify his selection by saying, “How can I tell that the cheapest is not also the best product?” Indeed, it is conceivable that such a happy coincidence might occur.
The community pharmacist is not in a position to test all the products he buys. He is fortunate that distributors of drugs and dosage forms labeled to be U.S.P. or N.F. must meet the com- pendial standards, and to that extent he has some assurance that he is handl- ing good drugs. But it is easier for him to learn something about the drug man- ufacturer than about his individual products. Does the firm have an up- to-date control department? Can you depend on the firm’s formulators to con- sider factors that might affect drug availability — factors such as_ the isomeric form and crystalline size of the drug, its stability during the processing of the dosage form, the se- lection of the excipient and filler to avoid chemical binding or complexing or irreversible absorption of the drug, the proper compression force to make a tablet that will disintegrate before pass- ing through the entire alimentary tract? Can the pharmacist feel confident that the firm has run clinical tests on his new dosage form and has correlated his manufacturing and control department procedures with the clinical availability of the drug?
You will note that I have not said, and I do not imply, that all of these valuable tests and procedures are car- ried out only by the large, well-known pharmaceutical manufacturers. A small, or even a one-product firm can do all these things. Of course he would hardly be the low cost supplier, and probably the old, large firm would not be the low cost supplier either. The old cliché “you get what you pay for” usually ap- plies to drugs as well as to other ma- terials in our competitive economic system.

SWAIN SEMINAR....
The annual Dr. Robert Lee Swain Pharmacy Seminar was held Thursday, March 3, 1966 at the Health Sciences Library Auditorium of the University of Maryland. It is co-sponsored by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy with the assistance of a grant from Smith, Kline and French Laboratories.
The morning session, chaired by Dr. Casimir T. Ichniowski, Professor of Pharmacology, had as ilts general sub- ject “Antibiotics and Sulfonamides.”’ Under this heading, four talks were de- livered by authorities in their fields. The first was a “Review of Microbiology and Antibiotic Spectra” by Dr. Donald E. Shay, Professor and Head of the De- partment of Microbiology of the Uni- versity of Maryland Schools of Phar- macy and Dentistry. This was followed by “Antibiotics: History, Nomenclature and Classification” by Dr. Kenneth L. Euler, Assistant Professor in the De- partment of Pharmacognosy at the School of Pharmacy. Dr. Peter P. Lamy, Assistant Professor in the School’s De- partment of Pharmacology delivered the next topic, which was “Pharmaceutical Aspects of Antibiotics.” The final talk of the morning session was delivered by Dr. Carl W. Driever, also an Assistant Professor in the School of Pharmacy’s
Department of Pharmacology, whose title was “Sulfonamides: Past and Present.”
A panel discussion dominated the afternoon session of the Seminar, and this program was chaired by Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr., President of the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association. The title of the panel was “Pharmaceuticals —Brand Name and Generic. What are the Differences?” and the distinguished participants were Dr. Samuel Gold-

He attained much recog- k nition for his activities, including posi- tions as Secretary of the Maryland | Board of Pharmacy, President of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association and editor of The Maryland Pharmacist, and a past president of the American | Pharmaceutical Association and _ the National Association of Boards of Phar- | macy. He served on the American Foun- dation for Pharmaceutical Education, the American Council on Pharmaceu- tical Education and the Committee on the Pharmaceutical Survey. For many years, he was Chairman of the Trustees of the United States Pharmacopeia as well as editor of Drug Topics and Drug Trade News. Dr. Swain died on February 4, 1963 and was mourned profusely by his colleagues in the world of pharmacy.
The seminar itself was conceived as an exercise of the responsibility of both the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy to foster the prac- tice of continuing education for mem- bers of the profession, based on the be- lief that current knowledge in the health professions must be made avail- able to and taken advantage of by its constituency in order to be able to meet the challenges of change.

Pharmacy at Careers Exposition
EXHIBIT
SCHOOL MACY
Exhibit On Pharmacy Careers, Baltimore Civic Center, March 28 - April |
The week of March 28 found the Baltimore Civic Center the focus for a “1966 Careers Opportunities Exposi- tion” sponsored by the Baltimore Jun- ior Chamber of Commerce.
The profession of pharmacy was represented by a booth containing a technical exhibit which was designed to improve the public image of the phar- macist. The display was submitted by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion in cooperation with the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and its Alumni Association.
The booth was staffed throughout the week by faculty and students of the School of Pharmacy and by prac- ticing pharmacists; they personally answered thousands of questions put to them by a healthy percentage of the
40,000 secondary school students from the Greater Baltimore area who at- tended the exposition. Personnel from the school of pharmacy displayed a hand-operated tablet machine and testing apparatus which demonstrated friability, hardness and disintegrating properties of the pills. One of their main jobs was underlining the less obvious and well-known opportunities for pharmacists which exist in hospi- tals, government installations, manu- facturing and research. Many hundreds of booklets and brochures encouraging students to consider a career in phar- macy were distributed.
The entire exposition, which was open during the evening hours to the parents as well as the general public, was considered a huge success, and pharmacy can point with pride to its share in the proceedings.

Drug Product Quality Measurements in a Medical Assistance Program
By JOHN B. DE HOFFA, M. D. Assistant Commissioner of Health Acting Director Medical Care Section, Baltimore City Health Department
The following was delivered at the Robert L. Swain Pharmacy Seminar on March 3, 1966, at the University of Maryland Health Sciences Library.
The Baltimore City Health Depart- ment now finds itself in the position of being its druggists’ largest customer, with the Medical Care Section having paid out $1,708,118 in 1965 to Baltimore
pharmacists for prescriptions. About $1,130,000 went to pay wholesale drug costs, and the remainder, $580,000
constituted professional fees for 682,- 000 prescriptions. Averaging the cost, one finds that prescriptions accounted for 37.7 percent of the annual medical care expenses of Medical Care for the Indigent (MCI) patient, or $15.52, and they were 58.8 percent or $52.54 of expenses for a person receiving Med- ical Assistance for the Aged (MAA) benefits. The total amount the City of Baltimore spent on drugs took a 38 percent bite out of MCI money and a 59 percent bite out of MAA, with an overall 52 percent of our total budget.
When large budgets are composed of many small expenditures, admin- istrations become sensitive to varia- tions in small-change charges, and will object to needless duplication of expenditures. This means that the Baltimore City Health Department is as keenly aware of pennies in its multimillion dollar budget as druggists are in their business. Furthermore, the Medical Care Section wishes to minimize the processing of multiple small charges, much as a pharmacist objects to unnecessary deliveries of small items.
In this panel discussion we are con- sidering the question of generic names as related to proprietary or store- Qwned names, when they are applied
to potent and effective pharmaceutical products. No longer is this an “either- or” proposition, because federal regu- lations assure that both names will be on packaging and product informa- tion, or just the generic name — if there is no proprietary name.
We have heard that generically nam- ed drug products caused confusion be- cause of unfamiliarity, may permit unauthorized substitutions, work hard- ships on druggists’ and _ physicians’ memory and handwriting, and that they may cost less. We have also heard that proprietary or trade named drug products cause confusion because of similarity among them or because the names have no relation to _ basic ingredients, that they work hardships on druggists by increasing their inven- tory, and that they unduly or unwitt- ingly sway a physician’s judgment — and they cost more. Any of these opposing arguments — and many more — have been successfully rebutted, but keep reappearing.
The central problem facing us — not only in today’s discussions, but in every purchase and sale every day — is the quality of the product. Quality determinations are often deceptively simple, because you alone make this value judgment. It is usually when several of us in committee try to adapt our opinions and values, or reach for new standards, that we encounter confusion. Should our professional groups fail to achieve satisfactory or uniform standards, we may find our government employing consultants — perhaps the same professionals — re- quiring that they furnish standards to apply to an industry or profession.
What is this intangible called Qual- ity? How shall it be measured and in what dimensions? A pharmacist makes

The Maryland Pharmacist?
these quality decisions daily when he buys oil or gasoline for his automobile, when he buys food or beverages for his store or family, when he orders prescription labels and containers, or employs a relief man, or decides on a vacation resort. How does he judge quality then?
Let me list a few determinants of quality we would probably agree on. These measurements apply in a broad fashion to other than pharmaceutical products, and thereby permit slightly less emotional evaluations.
First, I am interested in effectiveness. Does the product satisfy the patient and the physician? Does it meet the need it was created for? Does it do what the maker says it can? Two standards of effectiveness apply: First, does it truly affect a disease in its course, or does it agreeably abate symptoms? This measures effectiveness of the drug category itself and our medical journals constantly furnish data on this effectiveness. But in our quality decision about a product, we also compare its effectiveness with the same drug produced by another manu- facturer. Actual or relative potencies, manner of preparation, rates of de- terioration may make one preparation less effective than another; here your pharmaceutical journals keep you in- formed through reliable research.
Second, I would consider the manu- facturer’s reputation. Professional re- pute competes strongly with effective- ness for first place in my quality con- siderations. Certainly, we weigh this element before any medicine is used, and were there no other reason for preferring one drug to another, the manufacturer’s reputation would pre- vail. Please note that I consider a rep- utation to have no necessary relation- ship to size of company, area of prod- uct, distribution, or volume of gross sales.
In our business we should judge a product not on advertising agency claims, but should depend on our pre- vious clinical or pharmacological ex-
perience with the company’s products, and our professional relationships with its agents or representatives. We appre- ciate accurate and helpful advice, re- spect ethical and timely support of their products, and are grateful for prompt exchange of pharmaceuticals when correction is required. In short, we know which firms are honest and trustworthy. Honesty is the stock-in- trade of our two professions; and if our trust is desired, manufacturers, large and small, should know that they must demonstrate their trust- worthiness continually.
Next, I depend on your profession and on our Food and Drug Adminis- tration to police for me two attributes beyond my professional skills — to measure purity and uniformity. Only you can assure that properly selected batches of a drug or drug product underwent pertinent assay; that each prescription has been accurately filled; and that, dose after dose and prescrip- tion after prescription, the chosen drug will be precisely measured, uniformly potent, and safely pure.
As one sign of the manufacturer’s interest in my patient, as well as in his product, you have taught me to look at the finish. Bottles, tubes, labels, printing, inserts, even the references on the insert put there to satisfy FDA, interest me. Like you, I enjoy signs of pharmaceutical excellence — clean cap- sules, unbroken tablets, sharp imprints, smooth mixtures, clear liquids, non- packing suspensions.
Shelf-life and expiration dates meas- ure durability. This is a retrospective quality index; it appears after you bought the product. Yet durability con- tributes to pharmaceutical quality in maintaining potency, purity, uniformity, finish, and effectiveness.
Lastly, I would make a price com- parison. Let me remind you that this talk opened with a discussion of costs. Cost factors figure in all of our choices of quality, and lead to discussions of economy. Too many people wrongly consider an “economical purchase” to
——— eee
The Maryland Pharmacist
be that which costs least. If money were the only deciding factor, our prob- lem might be solved, but we must face the decisions of “How much value can I get with the money I have to spend” and “How much am I willing to do without to get how much more’’, None of these questions have clear-cut an- swers. Economy is another phrasing of choosing, of pitting the question, “How much money?” against “How much value?”
Any cost depend on a ratio of prod- uct price to value received. With phar- maceuticals, cost includes delayed or incomplete recovery as well as dollars; value likewise includes speed or degree of recovery. In this formula, Cost = Value, Price the cost rises or lowers with price. Cost also rises with diminishing value, wheth- er price remains constant or diminishes toa lesser degree than value. When price and value are both less, but the pro- portion the same, cost remains un- altered. However, improperly labelled, less potent medicine, deceptively cheap- er, may be disastrously expensive when it fails to do the job.
The administrator of a medical care program, or hospital, or any other cus- tomer of limited means, deserves no blame for choosing a lower priced prod- uct of equal potency and effectiveness. The contributions of our large pharma- ceutical manufacturers are admirable,
with a constant or equal value,
March 1966 483
but we are charged with securing a quality product for those people in our Medical Care Program at a price that our responsible taxpayers can afford. We must depend on quality as defined above, and this definition includes ef- fectiveness, price and confidence in the manufacturer.
And here we are just where we started — you and I both should be excellent judges of quality — you and I certainly want the best we can buy for the money we have to spend. Neither of us has all the money the salesman would have us spend. You have a spe- cial training which prepares you to make quality judgments apart from just price and independent of nomen- clature, be it generic or proprietary.
The Baltimore City Health Depart- ment, in its huge purchase of drugs through individual prescriptions and occasionally in bulk, sincerely wants high quality as measured by effective- ness, uniformity and accuracy. But we want also to make your money which comes to us through city and state and federal tax channels get as much qual- ity as possible for everyone.
We believe that any funds, public or private, are wasted on products of low quality. Most important, we admit our great dependence on your priceless in- gredient, on your professional skills and integrity, to help us guard the health of Baltimore, safely and economically.

120 YEARS GO BY IN A HURRY
This is our 120th year, and where did the time go? [] When you're busy keeping
pace with a profession and an industry as busy as yours and ours, there never seems to be enough time, does there? (] Back in the 1840's and 50’s, Gilpin was one of the early importers who were the forerunners of the drug wholesalers of today. In those days, most drugs, chemicals and essential oils were imported and Gilpin was among the first to assay and standardize drugs for uniformity and dependability which contributed greatly toward building loyal relationships with the apothecary.
As Gilpin continued to seek better ways to provide pharmacists, increased emphasis
was placed on improved distribution of all drug store products. [] Then, as fast as
better ways were found, so were better medicines. The industry of drugs and
medicines grew. Gilpin grew. Our jobs grew ... to new heights:of dedication and
responsibility. So it has been for 120 years. [] Think a moment of the progress in
medicine, particularly in the last decade, making the work of the pharmacist more valuable, more important than ever to people everywhere. Never before has the practice of pharmacy been so demanding of technical skills and precision. Such grave responsibility. [] That is why Gilpin places so much emphasis on pharma- ceutical service. Constantly supporting the pharmacist in his role as consultant to the allied health professions. [] That is where our brass tack comes in, too. You see our salesmen wearing them in their lapels. You see them on some of our printed matter. Around our offices and warehouses, you see this symbol everywhere, as
reminders to all of our people. It reminds us that even after 120 years of building
the largest wholesale drug firm in the area... even after becoming known for the most varied of services to the pharmacist . . . even after establishing a century-old reputation for dependability . . . it reminds us that every morning we come to work
we must get RIGHT DOWN TO THE BRASS TACKS OF SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS BETTER EVERY DAY.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The most important legislation concerning health in recent years is the Social Security Amendment of 1965, commonly known as “the Medicare bill.”
Because of the cost factor, one of the most important provisions, that pertain- ing to prescription drugs and pharmacy services, was not included in the bill.
Members of the National Association of Retail Druggists under the directorship of Willard B. Simmons, have had many conferences with Representative Boggs (D., La.), Majority Whip of the House of Representatives, and a highly important member of the House Ways and Means Committee. As a result of these conferences, H.R. 14597 was introduced into the House; it provides the opportunity for medicare recipients to obtain their personal prescription requirements through the pharmacy of their choice.
It is absolutely imperative that every pharmacist call or write to his own Con- gressman regarding this pending legislation. Be sure to mention the Bill number: H.R. 14597.
YOUR HEALTH DEPENDS ON IT!
Sincerely,
Por Sif

After a stormy voyage and unable to make port as originally planned in February, the good ship TAMPA docked at Fleet and Highland at 8 bells on Saturday, March 5. In less time than it takes to tell about it, all hands had mustered at the raw bar for oysters and clams, and at the other bar for 55 a OO os yg Megalehe dy yebilig: *
Ab Leatherman and his boarding party cleared the rails with gusto. Afiter filling their gullets, they took over the wardroom and repaired to the tables of chance. The Quartermaster Quartetite led by Bernie Ulman and “deck Hand” Dick Crane and his accordian rendered some appropriately nautical tunes.
Ensign Lou Glaser, popular local pharmacist, made his first public ap- pearance after a spell in sick bay, and his shipmates were happy to see him looking so well. Boswain Charley Becker took up his usual stand and continued his lessons at Pishie Pashie. Some of the crew were father and son, making it a family affair. Bob Williams and his dad
enjoyed themselves as did Abrian Bloom and his father (Skipper Her- man... who else?). Al Callahan’s fa- ther-in-law, Gerry Easer, was making his first appearance after a spell of sickness.

Morgenroth Tours Academic Circuit
Victor H. Morgenrolth, member of the Executive Committee of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, served as a panel member March 17 for the annual St. John’s University Pharmacy Con- gress in Jamaica, Long Island. He was a discussant on the subject of the Com- munity Pharmaceutical Ceniter concept.
On March 23, Mr. Morgenroth, prop- rietor of Voshell’s Pharmacy on Wilkins Avenue, was in Philadelphia, serving on a panel at a conference on pharmacy legislation sponsored by the Temple University School of Pharmacy and its Alumni Association. His personal con- tribution to the panel on Medicare was entitled “The Pharmacist and Extended Care.”
Mr. Morgenroth is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Phar- macy, a regional director of the Amer- ican College of Apothecaries, a member of the Mayor’s Commission on the Problems of the Aged for the City of Baltimore and a member of the Ad- visory Board of Hospiltal Licensure for the State of Maryland.
Rubin Says Trend Is Toward Up- swing In Professional Services
Mr. Irving Rubin, Edittor of American Professional Pharmacist, recently told the senior class of the St. John’s Uni- versity College of Pharmacy in New York that “in the years ahead more pharmacists than ever will be able to earn a living via professional services alone.”
As medical care increases the phar- macist’s professional services also are on the increase and all trends, including more prescriptions (such as those writ- ten by dentists, podiatrists and veter- inarians) and an increased volume of surgical appliances and _ prescription accessories, point to this fact.

Medical Care
At the close of 1965 the Baltimore City Medical Care Program listed 95,164 persons on its rolls. This rep- resented an increase of 12,736 persons over the 82,428 noted at the end of 1964. The total number of person-years of enrollment for 1965 was 87,822.
The Medical Care for the Indigent component comprising persons on the rolls of the Baltimore City Department of Public Welfare, furnished the larger part of the population increase. This category expanded from 173,484 to 85,793 at the end of 1965, increasing 12,309 or 16.8 per cent and representing 78,500 person-years of enrollment.
Medical Assistance for the Aged, the other component, increased from 8,944 to 9,371 at the end of 1965, a growth of 427 or 4.8 per cent. The number of person-years of enrollment was 9,322.
For the first time since the change in method of payment from capitation to fee-for-service, the average number of physician visits per individual on the rolls remained relatively stable. On an average, a person enrolled in Medical Care for the Indigent made 2.8 visits to a physician’s office and received 0.4 home visits from his physician; persons enrolled in Medical Assistance for the Aged recvieed an average of 6.7 physi- cian’s services of which 4.6 were office visits and 2.1 home visits.
Pharmacists supplied 675,500 pre- scriptions in 1965, at a total cost of $1,690,500. Each patient in the category Medical Care for the Indigent received an average of 6.5 perscriptions, while patients in the category of Medical Assistance for the Aged received an average of 18.3 prescriptions per person. As a result of the increase in pharma- cists’ service fees, effective July 1, 1965, the average price of an MCI pre- scription increased from $2.30 to $2.50; for an MAA prescription from $2.80 to $3.00.
Expenditures for the Baltimore City Medical Care Program services for the calendar year 1965 were estimated at $2,978,700 for Medical Care for the Indigent and $786,600 for Medical As- sistance for the Aged; the total ex- penditures for services amounted to $3,765,300.
The Baltimore City Medical Care Program furnishes a wide range of medical services to indigent persons under the following categories: Old Age Assistance (OAA); Aid to the Family of Department Children (AFDC), Em- ployable (AFDC-E); Public Assistance to Needy Blind (PANB); General Pub- lic Assistance (GPA); Aid to the Per- manent and Totally Disabled (APTD) ; Foster Child Care (FC); Protective Service (PS); and to medically in- digent persons 65 years of age and older under the Medical Assistance for the Aged (MAA) plan. These persons obtain a wide range of services from complete physical examinations at seven hospital medical care clinics to physi- cian visits, dental services, drugs, some medical and sick room supplies and limited eyeglass prescription services.
In November, the Medical Care Sec- tion acquired a professional staff to supervise admission of patients to nursing and care homes, and chronic hospitals. A physician, assisted by three skilled public health nurses, will evalu- ate each request for admission to these extended care facilities, and help these patients obtain suitable nursing care. The staff will work closely with other supervisory and regulatory groups, and will help all persons concerned meet new legislative requiremnets. Dr. J. Wilfrid Davis, Assistant Commissioner of Health, retired as Director of the Medical Care Section on October 31, and Dr. John B. De Hoff, Director of Local Health Services, was named Act- ing Director until a replacement could be found.

New Sulfonylurea Plus Biguanide Effective
As reported by the Upjohn Co., dia- betics who fail to respond to treat- ment on a Single oral drug may do well on a combination of a new sul- fonylurea and biguanide.
In a study of 31 patients, Dr. Sol B. Stern, Jr., New Orleans, reported (J. Louisiana State Med. Soc., Nov., 1965) that almost three out of five patients who did not achieve success on a single drug responded satisfactorily to com- bined therapy with tolazamide and phenformin. Tolazamide is an experi- mental sulfonylurea, not yet available for general clinical use.
Results probably would have been much better had combined therapy been started immediately when treatment with either a sulfonylurea or a bigu- anide alone had failed, Dr. Stern speculated, because hyperglycermia was prolonged while the patient was given various drugs sequentially.
All patients had been given adequate trials with at least two oral drugs se- quentially; 17 received trials with three different oral drugs and two patients were tried on four drugs separately.
On combined therapy with tolazamide and phenformin, 17 showed excellent, good, or fair control and 14 responded poorly. Despite the use of maximal dos- ages, there was no clinical or labora- tory evidence of toxicity in the entire series. —o—

1965... A Year of Emphasis on Prescriptions
The preliminary LILLY DIGEST, based on the operating figures of 968 community pharmiacies, indicates that 1965 was another year of progress in prescription service. Prescription sales increased 8.4 percent, more than com- pensating for a decrease of 3.4 percent in other departments’ sales, resulting in an over-all increase in total sales of 1.2 percent or $1,885 for the year. The pre- scription department now contributes 42 cents of each dollar of sales. Prescrip- tions filled increased 1,403 or 17.6 per- cent to a record 19,935. The number of refills increased better than 6 percent over last year, but when expressed as a percent of total prescriptions dispensed, it declined slightly to 53 percent. The average prescription charge increased two cents from $3.41 to $3.43.
When the individual income and ex- pense statement items are expressed as a percentage of total sales, they indi- cate:
Cost of goods sold is down as are total expenses; therefore gross mar- gin rose yielding a substantial in- crease in net profit for the year.
Total dollar operating expenses in- creased over last year. However, when expressed as a percent of total sales, they declined from 31.0 percent to 30.8 percent. Proprietor’s salary increased slightly and employees’ wages decreased, whereas rent held steady at 2.5 percent of total sales. Remaining expenses con- stituted 9.1 percent of total sales—un- changed from last year.
Net profit surged upward 15.1 per- cent to a record $9,431 or 5.8 percent of total sales. Net profit return on each dollar of inventory increased over 14 percent, from $0.291 to 0.333.
The total inventory value remained essentially unchanged, but the prescrip- tion inventory component increased 2.8

percent while other merchandise de- creased 0.8 percent. Prescription stocks produced $7.01 in sales for each dollar invested in pharmaceuticals. Turnover for the total merchandise inventory re- mained at 3.7 times for the year.

Omnipen: Broad Penicillin in More Stable Form
A new form of penicillin, Omnipen, has been introduced by Wyeth Labora- tories, Philadelphia pharmaceutical manufacturer.
Officials at Wyeth, said that Omnipen (anhydrous ampicillin, a semi-synthetic penicillin), has been developed to ex- pand the line of antibiotics the com- pany makes available to physicians.
The new penicillin product, Omnipen, is ampicillin in the anhydrous form.
Since Omnipen is indicated to treat infections due to susceptible strains of gram-positive as well as gram-negative bacteria, it may be prescribed for a broad spectrum of diseases and is rec- ommended for treatment of urinary tract infections, respiratory tract in- fections, and gastrointestinal infections.
AQUAPAC selected skins —only the primes are processed. Not just wet—but also lubricated and rolled
The safety of Omnipen is comparable | to that of traditional penicillins. How- ever, since the allergenic factor is pres- ent, physicians are warned not to pre- scribe Omnipen for patients who have shown hypersensitivity to penicillen. Also, Omnipen is not effective against infection caused by penicillinase prod- ucing bacteria including staphylococci.

Record Amount Spent on Research
Merck & Co., Inc., plans to increase
its spending on research and develop-
ment in 1966 to a new high of almost $40 million, Henry W. Gadsden, presi- dent, told the Financial Analysts of
Philadelphia today. “For the third con-
secutive year, we believe this will be the largest amount spent on research
and development by a pharmaceutical
company,” he said. The 1966 figure constitutes a 22% in-
crease over the 1965 research expendi-
ture of $32.6 million. In 1964, the com- pany spent $28.4 million for that pur- pose.
“Much of this increase will be di- rected to new fields of research in hu-
man and animal health in which we now don’t have important products,”
Mr. Gadsden told the analysts. ‘Thus there will be a proportionately greater emphasis on scientific and medical problems at the most basic level.

The Community Pharmacist Serves
In every community complete health care includes the presence of a com- munity or neighborhood pharmacist. Along with the physician, dentist and other health professionals, the community pharmacist is recognized as an integral member of the health team.
With changing times and new developments in health care services, community pharmacists must be alert and adaptable.
The community pharmacist must make sure that...
— the quality of personalized service to each patron is unsurpassed;
— the outside of the pharmacy is inviting and reflects an emphasis on pharmacy as a health service:
— the inside of the pharmacy is modern and uncluttered and there is no question that the establishment is a pharmacy; today’s public demands a contemporary atmosphere achieved by frequent remodeling (both partial and complete) ;
— family or individual medication records are maintained as an aid to patrons, physicians and the pharmacy;
— pharmaceutical inventories are complete and up-to-date;
— management methods and professional fees are realistic and competitive:
— participation in both civic and professional association affairs is an in- tegral part of his schedule throughout the year;
— he is prepared to serve as a “drug expert” to public and physician alike, by maintaining a current state of knowledge achieved through seminars association meetings, study and journals;
— complete pharmaceutical services are offered and bona-fide emergency prescription service is available.
’
All these factors, and many more besides, are important to the successful operation of a pharmacy. But, it is the relationship between the pharmacist— both proprietor and employee—and his patrons that is critical.
The pharmacist who has developed a professional image as a person vitally interested primarily in the welfare and health care of his patrons has always been able to maintain a strong position in the face of unscrupulous, unethical and unprofessional competition.
The treatment of each patron as an individual, not a number; personalized service; obvious emphasis on professional pharmaceutical services as reflected by the outside and inside appearance of the pharmacy; adherence to all ethical and professional considerations—these are some of the policies which differentiate a community pharmacy from an impersonal, assembly line “drug” operation.
Who would want to live in a community without a community pharmacist ?

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association continues to bring important serv- ices to the pharmacists of the state. The Association office is kept busy in organ- izing and coordinating the many programs and projects of the Association which your officers and committees are involved in.
We have succeeded in making great progress in the field of medical care and we are continuing to work on this vital aspect of pharmacy. We want to assure a situation where all possible prescriptions are obtained through com- munity pharmacies with drugs of the highest quality dispensed.
I am gratified at the joint Rheumatic Fever Prophylaxis program which has been worked out between the MPA and Maryland Heart Association. The Heart Association has agreed to discontinue distribution of penicillin and to have spe- cial prescription forms issued to patients on their programs. These prescriptions will be filled in community pharmacies.
In the realm of Health and Accident Insurance, the MPA has made available a new Catastrophe Health Care Plan and an Income Continuation Plan which is adaptable to any pharmacist’s situation. These group plans are superior to any plan that a pharmacist can buy from any other pharmaceutical Association. In addition, the American Health and Life Insurance Company has given personal and satisfactory service to anyone who has had a claim.
We have the M.Ph.A. Life Insurance plan which is economical group life insurance and we are working on a group pension plan which we hope to an- nounce to you later this year.
The Association office continues to work for you also as an informational center answering many inquiries about the Drug Abuse Control Act, Medical Care, Medicare, and numerous federal, state and local laws. When necessary, legal counsel is consulted and made available to our members.
With all these programs and services, to name just a few, I feel membership in the MPA is quite a bargain. We should appreciate the value of what we get from the Association and do everything possible to enroll other pharmacists who are not members. I hope I can call upon you to help make MPA the association that includes all the pharmacists in Maryland.
Sincerely,
Ande): Gig,
President

A Message from the Executive Secretary
Support the Boggs Bill—H.R. 14597
The Boggs Bill, if passed, will fill an important need for the aged who are covered under the supplementary in- surance program. This bill amends part B of Title 18 of the Social Security Amendments of 1965 (Medicare) to in- clude prescribed drugs.
Eligible beneficiaries under the Boggs Bill would be able to obtain prescription drugs at the pharmacy of their choice. This would help to prevent overutili- zation of hospital facilities because a beneficiary would not have to be an inpatient in order to obtain drugs at no charge.
In addition to this bill by Congress- man Hale Boggs, House Majority Whip, Congressman Samuel N. Freidel of Maryland’s 7th District has introduced a similar bill—H.R. 15666.
Write both Congressmen Boggs and Freidel telling them of the importance
of the passage of this amendment to millions of aged citizens.
Headquarters For Pharmacy
The telephone calls from pharmacists, physicians, government Officials, agency executives and the general public are increasing every year. Particularly dis- turbing sometimes are calls from physi- cians and laymen with complaints about some alleged practice by a pharmacist. There are always two sides to a story and often the situation is readily re- solved by an explanation to the com- plainant by your Executive Secretary. This is a vital function of the ASSo- ciation office which is not fully appre- ciated. It is important to have a center for pharmacy in Maryland and the MPA provides such a headquarters,

The Maryland Pharmacist
Address of the President of the National
Association of Boards of Pharmacy
FRANCIS S. BALASSONE Secretary, Maryland Board of Pharmacy
Delivered at the 62nd Annual Meeting of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Association, April 25, 1966, Dallas, Texas.
To begin, I wish to acknowledge gratefully the honor of serving as presi- dent of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. It has been a dis- tinct pleasure to have served you and the Association this year, and, I hasten to add that I have been enriched by the opportunities, the challenges and the ex- perience gained. There is no doubt in my mind that the NABP is accomplishing more today than at any time in its his- tory. The organization has no proto- type with which to compare itself. A unique organization such as this must serve its members. It must above all, recognize who it represents and further the obligation of our members at the Staite level. As Dr. Wm. S. Apple has cogently remiarked—Boards of Pharmacy are not for the protection of the Phar- macist. They must protect the public. We often forget the basic charge which Wwe accept when we agree to function as a representative of the practitioner in behalf of the public.
In the time that you provided your President to speak his piece, I would like to spend a few moments with yoy discussing some of the things that we, as a National Association, can do to further the interest of our members in their efforts to protect the health and consuming public of this nation. I will not make this a particularly rambling report, but will speak to define topic headings which I will announce to you.
New York 1904-1966 One of the first things I would like to
discuss is the New York application for
active membership in the Association. If you look back through the history of
the Association, it can be noted that there are many presidents over the years that asked all of the ‘associate’ states to join the Association as active mem- bers and participate in reciprocity.
Probably the last president to again focus attention on the primary objectives of the Association was President Ches- ter Jones who, in 1959 stated, “we in- vite them to join hands with us and become active member states instead of associate member states.’ He, of course, was referring to New York, Florida and California. Hawaii did not become an associate member until 1960. I am sorry to say that Chester Jones, while he did prepare this address as sincerely and conscientiously as he knew how, was not able to present this due to his sudden. death.
I might add that he understood the principles and objectives of the associ- ation and did not want his presidency to pass without requesting that New York State to again consider active member- ship. It is particularly significant this year since, as you know, the Association will consider the application of New York State for active membership and I do not want my presidential address to pass without congratulating the New York Board on this forward step in the interest of exchange of licenses with the other states. Even at the time Presi- dent Jones made this statement con- cerning the non-reciprocal states, there was a desire on the part of the New York Board of Pharmacy to become an active member of this Association.
In 1964, when Dr. Ewald B. Nyquist of the Department of Education of the State of New York, spoke to us at
The Maryland Pharmacist
luncheon, he so aptly described the provisions of the New York law and indicated his Department’s interest in changing this provision for length of out-of-state practice, for, as Dr. Nyquist put it, “the frequent artificial restraint erected in the several states in many of the professions barring ease of move- ment and change of residence have be- come meaningless in a day when the world, not to mention the US., has become very small indeed.”
As your President, I am enthusiastic about the fact that the listing of active member boards of the NABP may be changed following this convention by including the New York State who, in- cidentally, joined the Association in its very first year in 1904 as an associate member. This will be the first time that their name will appear on the active roster of states.
I should also like to mention that Secretary Mahaffey has informed us that the provinces of Manitoba and Ontario have submitted formal applica- tion for “associate” membership in the Association. May I also add my personal endorsement for you to ratify these applications so that we may also wel- come two other provincial licensing agencies to the roster of this Associa- tion. As you know, our Constitution and By-laws were changed at last year’s meeting to provide for membership of Canadian licensing agencies.
State Roster of Pharmacists
Some time ago, I had a chance to visit the NABP office and sat down with Secretary Mahaffey for a few moments to review the Public Health Service— NABP Manpower Project which, inci- dentally is nearing its most important stages in our office. It is encouraging to see the Association take on a project such as this project and the Public Health Service and other professional organizations in pharmacy will be the benefactors when this project is com- pleted. As I was discussing with Mr.
April 1966 523
Mahaffey the many problems involved with the collection of this information from the states, I asked the question of how many states publish a directory of pharmacists. I pointed out to the staff at that time that my own state published a directory in the state phar- maceutical association magazine and this is published each year. This is a valuable aid to our board office in Maryland and I am certain that it is also of great assistance to the Asso- ciation and other allied health groups in our state.
I would urge those states who do not, at the present time, publish a list of practitioners whose licenses are not in good standing on their roster each year, to do so at the earliest opportunity. This is a service which each Board should provide the state and the profession.
State Authority to Suspend and Revoke Licenses
Having served as state board secre- tary for 12 years, I have had a chance to review pharmacy statutes in many of our states on many occasions. I would like to explore with you one aspect of these legal provisions that we so often advance as laws that protect the health, welfare and safety of the public. Sev- eral years ago, in Maryland, the phar- macy practice acts were changed to give the various boards greater author- ity and latitude in dealing with excep- tional cases which include mental ill- ness, senility and physical impairment of the practitioner.
In looking over the statutes of the various states, I note that a number of boards have given this problem their attention over the years and that their pharmacy act has been updated to pro- vide for revocation or suspension of license for this type of practitioner. However, it is my contention that there are many state pharmacy acts which lack the necessary provisions, at least at this time, which would give the board of pharmacy the necessary authority to deal with the mentally ill pharmacist,
524 April 1966
The Maryland Pharmacis?+
the senile pharmacist, or the physically impaired pharmacist who is still main- tained as an active practitioner.
This is certainly an area where boards of pharmacy have proper license to suggest to a state legislature that these provisions be written into your phar- macy act. I am not suggesting that the board establish a mechanism to eliminate the mentally ill pharmacists other than through the regular court procedures that are now accepted in most of the states. This may also come through your administrative procedures act.
I feel that these laws, relative to de- termining mental illness, are adequate
at the present time to deal with the
one area; however, if a board of phar- macy is to discharge its responsibilities under a state pharmacy act to protect the public, then this problem of the mentally ill pharmacist, the senile phar- macist, or the pharmacist who is physi- cally impaired, should be carefully screened to determine if he can ade- quately function in a way that the public should expect. The Board must determine if it has the adequate au- thority to remove or suspend licenses for pharmacists who may not be en- tirely safe.
Variations in Internship
For two years now, the Internship Committee of NABP-AACP have held a joint meeting to discuss some of the problems relating to this phase of the pharmacist’s education and it is again with a great deal of pride that I note that the Association has financed and distributed the second printing of the Pharmacy Preceptor’s Guide which, as you know, was written by a joint com- mittee of NABP-AACP. I am persona- ally discouraged at the lack of distri- bution of this manual through state boards of pharmacy. Information which will be presented to you in the executive committee report will show that boards of pharmacy have not ordered as many manuals as our colleges of pharmacy.
We recognize that students may be more interested in internship training than the preceptor, but we cannot evade the responsibility, if this is a require- ment for licensure in your state, for the distribution of this Guide to all those pharmacists who train the phar- macy student. I am sorry to say that there have been almost as many Guides distributed by the pharmaceutical as- sociation as have been distributed by boards of pharmacy.
So again, let me urge you to make a determined effort to distribute this Guide to the practitioners in your state especially the preceptors. This publi- cation is one of the best things the As- sociation has presented in a long time. Let’s see that maximum use of this ma- terial is made in the interest of stu- dents in our colleges who often become disenchanted with the attitude of the practitioner and even the board of pharmacy, on occasion, in administer- ing this requirement for licensure.
While I am on the subject of in- ternship, some information which was compiled by our office and distributed to the Committee on Internship, reveals the following information relative to the time requirements for experience in the various states.
All states with the exception of Rhode Island, Alaska, Indiana, New York and Puerto Rico require one year of experience before licensure. Indiana, New York and Puerto Rico require six months experience time. All other states require one year of experience before licensure. Twenty-four of our states require no experience after graduation and I recall that this Association has recommended by resolution that all states require three months time after graduation before licensure. Two states, New Jersey and Montana, retain their one year of internship. Thirteen states require six months of the one year’s time to be obtained after graduation. Two states require four months after graduation and eleven states have or will adopt the recommendation of the

Association set down in 1962 which sug- gested that three months experience time be obtained after graduation.
The information we furnished to our Committee on Internship was the out- come of a survey conducted by our office at the request of the Internship Committee who were curious about the 1962 recommendations and requested in- formation on how many states had followed our suggestion of three months time following graduation.
It is obvious, I believe, that we will have to review our thinking about the matter of internship training time in general. Since there seems to be no provision in our by-laws which sets
down any uniform time or when this.
requirement shall be fulfilled, this is left to the discretion of the state. I would recommend that the Internship Committee of the Association be asked to review the various requirements of the states in the interest of making an overall recommendation which might bring some order to the problem of in- ternship. This would satisfy all of the states and at the same time, perhaps, make this area of education more con- centrated and thereby more meaningful to the student. It is my feeling that we must begin thinking in this direc- tion and the sooner, the better.
Uniform Laws—Administrative Procedures Act
Another of the subjects which I would like to discuss with you this morning is again concerned with the laws of our various states. As you know, the Uni- form Law Commissioners have a re- vised Model State Administration Pro- cedures Act. It is my understanding that the Secretary has transmitted a copy of this model state administrative procedures act to all boards of phar- macy. My state has such a provision in its statutes. There are many instances in which the board of pharmacy may be directed to take certain adminis- trative procedures under this portion of our general statutes. An act such as
The Maryland Pharmacltst
this works two ways. It not only pro- tects the rights of the individual who is being disciplined or comes before the board, but assures the administrative agency itself that each individual case will be treated according to the statutes, thus, eliminating the further possibility of repercussions which can and might occur as a result of hearings of the general conduct of business of an ad- ministrative agency in your state.
I realize, to many of you such an act might be a way of life by now, but in the interest of protecting those persons who are selected to serve as board of pharmacy members, I would recommend that it is in the best in- terest of your board to investigate this model uniform law or to consult with your legislative research commission of the executive branch of your state government, if such provisions are not present in your statutes.
The states of North Dakota, Wiscon- sin, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Mis- souri, Indiana, Michigan, and Massa- chusetts have enacted in one form or another, the Uniform Law Commission- ers Revised Model State Administrative Procedures Act of 1961.
Another source of information on this subject is, of course, the Council on State Government in Chicago who also have a Model Act similar to this. This model act will, of course, require possible adjustment to fit statutory con- ditions peculiar to your particular state, but in general, the principles set forth are universally applicable and would serve to protect you as board mem- bers while, at the same time, offering those that you rule that justice will not actually be administered to them individually but to all those who come before your board.
HR 13885—HR 12847— Mailing of Samples
There are two bills in Congress that I would like to mention that may be of interest to boards of pharmacy. These
The Maryland Pharmacist
are titled HR 13885 (Mr. Staggers) and HR 12847 (Mr. O’Neill, Mass.) The O’Neill bill has been referred to the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service. The Staggers bill has been re- ferred to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. Both of these bills should be of interest to members of the Association since they contain provisions which might curtail the mailing of samples, be these drugs or other incidental items that are po- tentially harmful.
HR 12847 curtails the mailing of un- solicited drug samples by making it unlawful to place these in the mails. HR 13885 uses this same approach and deals directly with the person who so- licits samples from doctors’ offices and repacks such drugs. Thinking back over some of our past conferences with the Food and Drug Administration, it was the contention of former Commissioner George Larrick that there should be some regulation of sample drugs and the Association Executive Committee had, on a number of occasions, his interest in this matter and had studied the Canadian plan which requires direct so- licitation of a sample drug by a physi- cian before release.
I believe that the Association should take a definite interest in both of these bills and I understand that the APhA has also recommended that the profes- sion encourage the passage of this leg- islation. Samples, be they large or small, have for many years been a law en- forcement problem for boards of phar- macy and perhaps our interest in these two pieces of legislation will assist us in bringing some order to the present distribution at the state level which, we hope, would eliminate the obvious abuses to which sample drugs are often
exposed.
Meeting With FDA— PILOT PROJECTS—HR 2
In September, the Association was in- vited to meet with officials of the Food
April 1966 627
and Drug Administration. This was a second occasion that we have been asked to consult with the FDA and as has been reported to you, there was a discussion of two major items: 1) the Public Administration Service Report which you have all read; 2) the Drug Abuse Amendments to which you will be again exposed at our Bureau of Law Enforcement Session on Tuesday. You are familiar with the pilot projects that will be initiated in some selected states under the auspices of the new Bureau of Drug Abuse Control. Mr. Finlator, the new Director of that Bureau, will speak to us tomorrow. The Association has been asked on many occasions to provide information about these pilot projects and I believe that it is true that plans for these projects are pro- ceeding on schedule and the partici- pating states will be announced in the very near future. It is my earnest hope that those states selected will do a bang- up job in assisting the FDA, which I am sure they will. I hope that you rec- ognize that these pilot projects could also set the stage for the participation for other states and, as our Secretary has indicated to each board, if a state wishes to be considered under the pilot project program for the Drug Abuse Amendments, they should so indicate this desire to the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control.
You are familiar with the information which might be requested of you in terms of your capabilities to assist the Ad- ministration in the enforcement of HR 2 as this pertains to the community practice of pharmacy. On the other hand, the Board is expected to assist FDA by pointing out areas of large di- version any time that this comes to your attention.
I am particularly proud of the role that Boards play in the enforcement of dangerous drug acts in the various states. We probably did not have suf- ficient authority and I recognize that there are many states at the present time amending or contemplating a
528 April 1966
change in their law to provide for greater control of dangerous drugs, provisions of which are similar to the Drug Abuse Amendments. Even in those states where authority is granted to the Board of Health to enforce dangerous drug statutes, I urge you to offer your assistance and the respect with which your agency has held in the various states by the FDA, in my opinion, would fortify your position in this area.
A number of our secretaries have in- dicated that the Drug Abuse Amend- ments have caused some concern among the practitioners of their state who feel as though they have been singled out for scrutinization under this act. While the national associations have done an excellent job of informing the practi- tioner of the conditions of this act, I can be sympathetic with the practi- tioner’s views in this regard since he seems to be one of the few people in the state that handles dangerous drugs that has been properly informed about how he should proceed in this matter. In fact, many pharmacists are requested to give consultation to their health pro- fessionals who handle drugs under this bill. I think the very character of this federal act, which is now the law of the land, does not single out the phar- macist, but certainly places additional responsibilities which he will be required to live up to. I look on this as further- ing the responsibilities of the phar- macist. This bill, while bringing further restraints to the area of dangerous drugs, will emphasize the pharmacist’s important role in the dispensing of these medications. And even now, we see evi- dence of a greater awareness on the part of the layman for all drugs which he may be exposed to.
Thanks should be extended to those board secretaries who have kept the channels of communications open to the practitioners of the various states and in many instances, some of our board offices have acted as a reservoir of information on this bill to physicians,
The Maryland Pharmacist
nurses and others who might be affected by it.
Medicare and Boards of Pharmacy
There is only one other topic which I would like to consider in a very broad way and this would concern the Medi- care Act which, according to the Con- ditions of Participation of Hospitals and Drug Rooms, will directly affect in one way or another, the pharmaceutical service that is provided hospitals and extended care facilities and your board of pharmacy. I have read just as you have, these Conditions of Participation and all secretaries of the Association have received a copy of the HEW, So- cial Security Administration publication, Conditions of Participation for Hospi- tals. You have also been mailed a copy of the same conditions of Extended Care Facilities and after looking these over, it is obvious to you that one of the first things that a home or hospital will have to do is comply under the Act is directly related to state and local laws. A thorough explanation of the in- spection of hospitals and nursing homes who wish to acquire funds under Medi- care has been mailed to you and you will recall that state surveyors will screen these institutions if the hospital or home is not recognized by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospi- tals of the American Hospital Asso- ciation.
We would expect, therefore, that our Committee on Automation which has done a great deal of work in the hospi- tal practice of pharmacy to continue its excellent work and further expose the members of our Association to the developing trends as a result of the passage of the Medicare Act suggesting ways whereby Boards of Pharmacy can better protect the patients in such in- stitutions.
Recognition for Service Category
Being a member of a number of or- ganizations, many of which are not di- rectly related to pharmacy, I have been
DRUG CO., INC. i100 N. CHESTER STREET

530 April 1966
exposed to a number of ways where other organizations bestow official rec- ognition to persons who have in some way or another furthered the aims of that organization over the years. Some of my colleagues of the Department of Health of the State of Maryland are members of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, AOAC. This or- ganization, on occasion, holds a special recognition dinner at its annual meet- ing and presents certificates of merit to “fellows” of AOAC in a testimonial of official recognition. While “fellow” is an honorary title, which was created by this organization in 1961 for rec- ognizing meritorious service to the as-
sociation, I do not suggest that this title.
be applied to my own particular recom- mendation at this time. I do however, feel strongly that this Association should establish a category of persons who we might consider for some title that have performed a major service to the Association over a period of 10 years or more. We could recognize those nonpharmacists, board employees who are essential to the operation of many of our state boards in this category. We might also recognize persons from in- dustry, from the Food and Drug Ad- ministration, from the Bureau of Nar- cotics and other organizations with which we come in contact frequently.
Functions of Boards
State Boards of Pharmacy derive their authority from the enactments of laws by its own State Legislature. The powers of the Board are limited within the con- fines of the authority granted to it by the legislature. In all states, the Board has been charged by the legislature with the responsibility of examining, attesting and certifying candidates for licensure. In many states the Board is empowered to license pharmacies, wholesalers and manufacturers. In some states the legislature has delegated to Boards the enforcement of certain drug laws. Regardless of the authority a Board has be it in drug laws,
The Maryland Pharmacist the Board is limited to the specific mandate of the State Legisla- ture and is restricted to the specific responsibility entrusted to it. Responsi- bility of the administration of the phar- macy laws is vested in a State Board of Pharmacy. Hence, State Boards of Pharmacy are State regulatory agencies, and as an agency of State Government must act in the public interest.
In a panel discussion on Interpro- fessional Problems, Floyd N. Heffron, Chairman of the Bureau of Law En- forcement in 1961, made the following statement: “It is the responsibility of Boards of Pharmacy to administer the law in the interest of public health, safety and welfare, and to regulate the practice of pharmacy with that sole purpose in mind. It is not within the power or authority of any Board to con- cern itself with problems of economics or to serve as a mutual protective or- ganization for pharmacists.”
Oftentimes Boards are presented problems of a socio-economic nature and are asked to rule on them. It would behoove Boards to follow the ad- vice of their State Attorney General or State Law Department in order to in- sure that they are ruling or regulating within their jurisdiction. Only in this way we can avoid adverse court opinions.
Any benefits that pharmacists accrue from effective law enforcement by State Boards in insuring professional com- petency and drug control would be the same benefits that any citizen has a right to expect.
Closing Remarks
In closing, I would again thank you for the distinct honor of serving you as President, and I wish to also thank those who have made my job a bit easier with their willing cooperation. I would like to especially thank all those who accepted appointments on the various Committees, and I must tell you how much I appreciate all the work you
The Maryland Pharmacist April 1966 531
have accomplished. It was Emerson who wrote, “The only true gift is a portion SERVICE * SECURITY * SAVINGS of thyself.”
Let us then each renew our dedication, let us each contribute what we can to better our profession and to serve the public welfare to the best of our ability, let us each give a true gift, a portion of our self to better the future of man- kind.

Among the most interesting of the older dermatological preparations is urea, commonly referred to in the cos- metic industry as carbamide or carbonyl diamide.
A therapeutic preparation of this subsitiance known as “tissue stimulant ointment” has the following compo- sition: chlorophyll 1.5 per cent, urea 25 per cent, benzocaine 7 per cent, iso- caine 3 per cent, phenylmercuric nitrate 1-5000, and base. It is used in the treatment of slow healing wounds, burns and ulcers. A generous layer is applied to fine meshed gauze, placed over the affected parts anid allowed to remain for approximatltely 72 hours.
Wound healing with chemicals con- tinues to be of some interest. It was recently announced that chemicals from wheait can speed the healing of wounds by as much as 57 per cent. The materials used were gluten sulfate and sulfated starch. For years urea hias been used as a healing agent in cosmetic preparaltions.
Many materials have been described as sun screens and data regarding ttheir effective concentration is available. It is interesting to note the presence of urea in such a listing of ‘“‘screens” which may have usefulness,
Physiological knowledge regarding the skin surface has been greatly advanced in recent years. The outer layer is con- stantly shed as a niormal process. In disease, an exaggerated process produces various-sized flakes and scales. The lexibility of ‘this layer and the amount of shedding which takes place is largely dependant upon the layer’s water con- tent. This, in turn, depends primarily on the quantity of water soluble hygro- scopic and surface active materials present. These componenits have been called collectively “Natural Moisturizing Factor” of the skin or NMF. Determina- tions of the chemical composition of NMF show the presence of urea (7 per cent).
So-called dispersing agents have been tried ‘to break up cohesive horny layers on the skin. Urea is of value in con- ditions with thick horny accumulations; however, tt has a drying effect in the high concentrations it has to be used.
Urea is very soluble in water (one Gm. dissolves in 1.5 ml.). Its dissociation is influenced by pH and temperature of the medium. Although some ammonium carbonate appears to be formed, hy- ‘dvolysis is a (somewhalt complicated reaction.
When used as a buffer for highly acidic aluminium salts in antiperspirants it worked well, except that creams be- came spongy and eventually ammonium alums were formed. This resulted in erystal formiation within the product.
Urea solutions have bactericidal ac- tion. Beneficial effects reported when 3 per cent solution was used in a hand cream and applied to infected lesions. A similar result was obtained with a 3 per cent concentration of urea in a cold cream formulation.
Urea is not a primary irritanit (agent which causes an irritation by its direct

action on normal skin after it has re- mained in contact for a sufficient length of time, as characterized by the patch tests) or a sensitizer (agent which does not necessarily cause any reaction immediately on contact but may within a reasoniable length of time cause some dermatitis) .
The properties of urea, its availability, its nontoxicity, and its reported bene- ficial effects when applied to infectious lesions suggested that it would be a useful ingredient to incorporate in hand creams. A vanishing cream with 3 per cent urea had a soothing and heal- ing effect: on mild eczemaitous eruptions comparable to chapped skin.
However, it should be pointed out that concentrations of urea from 3 to 5 per cent. although quite compatible with the usual type of vanishing cream, a discoloration problem presented itself after a 6 month aging period.
Of some interest is a suggested treat- ment for acne which employed a fluid base composed of quince seed extract,
urea, ethyl alcohol, bile salts, fused bentonite sulfur, anid water. During ithe past decade cosmetic
scientsts have paid much attention to the fingernail, and as a consequence, several new innovations have been in- troduced. Of these types of cosmetics an interesting one is the cuticle remover.
There is menitioned in the literature the value of quaternary ammonium compounds as cuticle softeners. These compounds have an affinity towards keratin and therefore impart a soft feel to the cuticle. A typical formula for one of these preparations conitains 5 per cent of urea. In the formula the urea acts as a swelling agent for the protein (keratin).
Urea has also been used as a swelling agent for several synthetic gums in the formulation of a highly alkaline paste cuticle remover.
The use of ammoniated dentifrices in the prevention of dental caries has been argued pro and con. However, for ex- ample, inhibition of dental caries fol-
April 1966 533
lowing use of a mouth wash contain- ing 2 per cent of urea and 1 per cent of an anionic surfactant has been re- ported. A dentifrice containing 3 per cent of urea and 5 per cent of dibasic ammonium phosphate in powder form has been employed for the same purpose.
It is stated that the evidence for the usefulness of these products in the hands of the general public is either limited, inconclusive, or so con- tradictory that they cannot be ac- curately evaluated. However, dentifrice and mouth wash preparations containing urea, in concentrations ranging up to 22.5 per cent, have been formulated and promoted on occasions.
The use of chemicals for the curling of hair was widely studied for many years. In hair waving it is claimed that urea accelerates the swelling of hair and permits a decrease in the thioglycolate concentration of the lo- tion. (Urea is known to be an effective hydrogen bond breaker). Its use in a variety of thioglycolate lotions results in substantial increase of the curl im- parted (tighter curls are obtained).
One patented liquid for setting hair at temperatures between about 20° and 40°C. without effecting any appreciable injurious swelling of the hair lists urea being present in a concentration equi- valent to from about 15 to 40 per cent.
Urea is also listed as one of the many ingredients that have been used as plasticizers with various resins in hair spray formulations. (It is interesting to note that urea plastics, closure materials for containers, are noted for resistance to alcohols, oils, greases and weak acids) .
The following cosmetic formulas (per- fume, preservative and colorant qs.) demonstrate the role of urea in this area: ANTIPERSPIRANT CREAM— Spermaceti 5, Glycerylmonostearate (acid-stabilized) 16, sodium lauryl sul- fate 1.5, propylene glycol 5, titanium dioxide 0.5, urea 5, aluminum sulfate 18, and water 49; MULTIPURPOSE CREAM (suitable for shaving, hair,

Spring Regional Meeting TURF VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1966
The Spring Regional Meeting of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association was presided over by President Alexan- der J. Ogrinz, Jr.
The business meeting featured an Open Forum discussion on “What Leg- islation Does Pharmacy Need?”. Joseph S. Kaufman, legal counsel for the MPA and BMPA, introduced the subject and reviewed the legislative programs spon- sored by the MPA in recent years. A
report of the Legislative Committee was.
made by the Chairman, Jerome Mask.
There was considerable discussion on the floor for the need for the legisla- tion introduced in the 1966 session of the state legislature. The proposed laws, although endorsed by the Al- legany-Garrett Counties, Baltimore Metropolitan, Eastern Shore and Prince Georges-Montgomery County pharma- ceutical associations, were not favor- ably considered by the House of Dele- gate Judiciary Committee. The con- census was that steps be taken for in- troduction of this type of legislation in 1967.
Convention Chairman Morris R. Yaffe outlined plans for the Annual Conven- tion in Tamiment and urged all to attend.
Lee S. Bowers, Program Director of the Maryland Heart Association, pre- sented details on the joint MPA-Mary- land Heart Association Rheumatic Fever Prophylaxis Penicillin Program to be launched July 1, 1966. All pharmacists were scheduled to receive information in the mail during the coming months.
Also on the program was Roy H. Shumaker, Vice-President of the E. G. Leatherman Co., general agents for the Association’s Health and Accident Plan. He introduced Mr. E. Gordon Leather- man and George J. Bereska, who pre- sented details about a new group
Catastrophe Health Care Plan and an Income Continuance Plan.
During the afternoon the Ladies Auxiliary (LAMPA) conducted a meet- ing featuring “The Anatomy of a Hat” with Mrs. William A. Pokorny.
Following a social hour and dinner, Gordon A. Mouat, Past President of the MPA and BMPA, was awarded the A. H. Robins “Bowl of Hygeia’” Award for outstanding community service. Norman D. Huth, medical service representative in the Chesapeake Division of A. H. Robins, made the award. President Ogrinz participated in the ceremony.
Mr. Mouat was cited for his work as Chairman of the Pharmacy Services Committee of the State Council on Med- ical Care and as a pharmacy adviser to the Baltimore City Medical Care Program. He is a past president of the Alumni Association of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and a member of A.Ph.A., NARD, Baltimore and Towson Chambers of Commerce and Ascension Lutheran Church.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The primary interest of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation is the independent retail pharmacist. We are constantly searching for methods to make the public consciously aware of the vital importance of the community pharmacy.
Our Public Relations Committee, under the able chairmanship of Anthony G. Padussis, is launching the first rocket to put the community pharmacy into orbit. He has devised a dynamically designed bumper sticker to place on busi- ness and family automobiles. The slogan reads:
“YOUR COMMUNITY PHARMACIST MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE BUY AT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD PHARMACY”
The thousands of messages seen by hundreds of thousands of people are worth, who knows, how many hundreds of dollars in advertising.
REMEMBER—THE STORE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN.
Sincerely,
jo Sei

Gilpin has Selected Streater Store Fixtures for their new Drugstore Developmt. Program
James E. Allen, President of The Henry B. Gilpin Company, has an- nounced the selection of the Streater Store Fixture Company and the Litton Credit Corporation to double their capacity for advancing the Gilpin mer- chandising and store development service to pharmacists.
Combining the vast resources of Lit- ton Industries with the Gilpin store development and real estate operations, Gilpin is offering a new complete turn- key package for pharmacists who want to own and operate modern stores. Now the pharmacists throughout Gilpin’s
marketing area in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsyl- vania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia have available all of the facilities they need, which are usually found only among the largest of industrial retailers. Gilpin has com- bined Streater, Litton, and Distribution Services, Inc. to form a complete pack- age, including site evaluation, bankable leases, fixturing and designing, in- ventory, merchandising, and financing.
Mr. Leonard A. Freeman, President of Streaters, added, “We believe that with this program today’s independent pharmacist can rely on his _ service wholesaler for the breadth of services he will need to continue as a strong retailing force.’

Noxzema Introduces New Plastic Tube for Medicated Skin Cream
Noxzema Skin Cream, the medicated skin care preparation used by genera- tions of American families, is now avail- able in a brand new package—an un- breakable plastic tube that is ideal for the beach and travel. Light-weight, yet durable, it holds 44% ounces of the fam- ous all-purpose cream, which can be dispensed at the press of a finger.
Noxzema Skin Cream provides a complete beauty program in a single easy-to-use formula. An_ effective cleanser, night cream and make-up base, it cleans as thoroughly as soap, fights dryness greaselessly, while five medicinal ingredients help heal sur- face blemishes fast. An ideal hand cream, it also has a score of family uses including cooling, soothing relief from sunburn, windburn, chapping, diaper rash and minor burns.
Noxzema Skin Cream in the “little blue jar’ was first developed in 1914 by Dr. George A. Bunting. Since then, sales have soared into the millions. In 1965, a liquid version of the famous formula was introduced. The new tube represents the third form of packaging for this product.

Noxzema Stockholders Hear Sales and Earnings Up in 1965
Mr. Norbert A. Witt, President of the Noxzema Chemical Company, reported at the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting that the company enjoyed a record year in 1965. Figures, previously re- leased, show that profits after taxes increased 27.9% over 1965 to $1,943,059. Per share earnings were $4.76 as com- pared to $3.73 in 1964. The yearly divi- dend was increased from $1.25 in 1964 to $1.40 in 1965.
Mr. Witt noted that the company marked its eleventh consecutive annual sales increase in 1965. Net sales were
$31,226,014, “a modest gain of 1.5% over 1964, but noteworthy in that no new products were marketed during 1965, contrary to 1964.’ Mr. Witt said that the development of new products continues to be a major corporate ob- jective and it is expected at least one additional product will be introduced nationally during 1966, after very favorable test market results. “As a re- sult of the aggressive promotion of our established commodity lines, more con- sumers used our brands during 1965 than ever before and all three lines, Skin Cream, Cover Girl Cosmetics and Noxzema Shave products sustained new sales records,’”’ he added.
Reporting on the company’s move to Cockeysville, Mr. Witt noted that the occupation of the new Administration and Laboratory building was expected by June 1. Following this, the Manufac- turing Division will move between June 1 and September 30. “With all of this major expansion, a very liquid finan- cial position has been maintained and only short-term borrowing is anticipated to complete this unprecedented ex- pansion program.”
Looking ahead to 1966, Mr. Witt re- ported that sales and profits for the first two months are running ahead of the same period in 1965. The regular quarterly dividend to stockholders for the first quarter of 1966 will be 25 cents per share, up from 20 cents in 1965.

The Small Business Administration and The National Association of Retail Druggists Cooperate in Preparing Booklet On The Operation of A Retail Drug Store
“STARTING AND MANAGING A SMALL RETAIL SMALL DRUG- STORE?” is the title of a booklet now being distributed by the Small Business Administration, Washington, D.C.
This text was prepared in cooperation with the National Association of Retail Druggists as part of the Management and Technical Publications Program of SBA’s Office of Business Assistance, Business Management Development Di- vision. The booklet was edited by Jean B. MacArthur under the administrative direction of Robert A. Litzberg, Pro- gram Manager.
Material of significant interest to pharmacists’ business responsibilities are covered in the booklet which is more than 100 pages in length.
The text is divided into eight parts. Part I, “The Decision,” deals with the basic question of whether one should own a pharmacy, describes what it is like to run a drug store and provides questions which the prospective phar- macy owner must answer within him- self before he embarks upon the opera- ition of a retail drug store.
Part II discusses the problems relat- ing to whether one should buy a going business or develop a new store.
Part III reviews such matters as choice of location, lease arrangements, store planning and layout, possibilities of a soda fountain operation and basic data with respect to laws and regula- tions which all new pharmacy owners will encounter.
Part IV deals with the prescription area, both in terms of physical layout and professional contacts, which must be established with others.
Part V goes into purchasing, pricing and stock control problems.
Part VI reviews personnel require- ments.
Part VII emphasizes the need for effective cost controls and adequate record keeping.
Part VIII goes into detail with refer- ence to sales promotion and efficient selling methods.
Willard B. Simmons, Executive Sec- cretary of the N.A.R.D., in making the announcement of the booklet’s release, coinciding with a similar bulletin from SBA, suggested that all retail druggists, pharmacy organizations, colleges and schools of pharmacy and other inter- ested parties obtain a copy of “START- ING AND MANAGING A SMALL RE- TAIL DRUGSTORE” as_ soon as possible.
The booklet is for sale by the Super- intendent of Documents, U.S. Govern- ment Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, price 40 cents.

Hamarneh Wins Kremers Award
The Edward Kremers Award for dis- tinguished pharmaco-historical writ- ing by an American was conferred upon Dr. Sami K. Hamarneh, Curator, Division of Medical Sciences, Smith- sonian Institution, Washington, D.C., according to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy. The Insti- tute’s President, William H. Helfand of Philadelphia, presented the award to Hamarneh during the Institute’s 25th Anniversary Luncheon at the annual meeting of the American Pharmaceu- tical Association at Dallas, Texas.
Hamarneh received the award “for his meticulous scholarship sand im- portant revisionary interpretations con- cerning the history of pharmacy in Islamic culture.’ As exemplifying this contribution, the Institute’s Committee on Awards cited “The Rise of Profes- sional Pharmacy in Islam,” published in Medical History, 6(1962) :59-66. The Committee also pointed to Hamarneh’s steadily growing contribution to the history of pharmacy in the form of numerous bibliographical and historical articles of high merit relating to Islamic pharmacy, including his book (with Glenn Sonnedecker as co-author) A Pharmaceutical View of Abulcasis al-
Zahrawi in Moorish Spain (Leiden, 1963). An American born in J ordan,
Hamarneh earned his B.S. degree in pharmacy at the Syrian University at Damascus and for a time managed his own pharmacy in Jordan. He subse- quently received his M.S. degree from the School of Pharmacy at North Da- kota Agricultural College, and his Ph.D. (with a joint major in the his- tory of pharmacy and the history of science) at the University of Wisconsin. He joined the Smithsonian Institution in 1959.
In 1965, Hamarneh received the Order of al-Kawab (Star of Jordan) from the King and government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in recognition of
his scholarly research in the history of Islamic medicine and pharmacy.
Given for the first time in 1962, the Edward Kremers Award honors the memory of Edward Kremers (1865- 1941), pioneer of American pharmaceu- tical education, distinguished American historian of pharmacy, and one of the founders of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy. The award is made by the Institute, upon recom- mendation of a committee of profes- sional historians, for a specific original publication or a series of related articles (including manuscripts) pertaining primarily to historical or historico-social aspects of pharmacy.

FDA Places Sweeping Curbs on Claims for Vasodilators
The FDA has announced restrictions on advertising and labeling claims for coronary vasodilators which are pre- scribed for millions of persons with heart conditions. The agency said it has prohibited the manufacturers from claiming effectiveness in any heart con- dition but angina pectoris, the massive chest pain associated with coronary artery disease. According to Dr. Robert J. Robinson, Acting Director of FDA’s Bureau of Medicine, the drugs, includ- ing amyl nitrate, erythrityl tetranitrate, mannitol hexanitrate, nitroglycerin, potassium nitrite, sodium nitrite, inositol hexanitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, octyl nitrite, pentaerythritol tetrani- trate and triethanolamine trinitrate biphosphate, “are safe and widely re- garded as useful under medical super- vision” in the case of angina.
Dr. Robinson said that claims of ef- ficacy in other medical conditions will not be allowed unless the manufacturers support them with well-controlled hu- man trials, as required by the 1962 amendments to the drug laws. Com- missioner James L. Goddard added that “neither clinical investigations nor clinical experience justifies any repre- sentations” that the drugs are not use- less in managing such conditions as hypertension, coronary insufficiency or coronary artery disease, except for their anginal manifestations. This is also the case in the post-coronary state, except when angina pectoris is present after coronary occlusion and myocardial in- farction.
This FDA action involves no seizures or allegations of false advertising such as these involved in the sale of anti- biotic throat lozenges.

Dunn Received APhA’'s Daniel B. Smith Award
Raymond L. Dunn, Connecticut com- munity pharmacist and President of the Academy of General Practice of Pharmacy of the American Pharmaceu- tical Association has been named re- cipient of the 1966 Daniel B. Smith Award.
The Award, named after the first President of the APhA and given to “a community practitioner who has dis- tinguished himself and the profession by outstanding performance’, was presented Wednesday, April 27, at the General Session of the APhA annual meeting in Dallas.
Mr. Dunn, long-time secretary of the state Commission of Pharmacy, has served on several APhA committees and commissions, including the Chairman- ship of the Legislative Committee, and as Vice Chairman of the APhA Section of General Practice, the forerunner of the GP Academy. In 1962 he was a can- didate for Second Vice President of APhA.
The Smith Award was first presented at the 1965 Detroit annual meeting with Eugene V. White, community pharma- cist of Berryville, Virginia, as recipient. Mr. White was cited for his pioneering of the pharmaceutical center form of community practice.
Mr. Dunn is active in civic, profes- sional and political affairs and is a past President of the Connecticut Phar- maceutical Association and has served several terms as Democratic Town Chairman. He was first appointed to the Connecticut board in 1955 and was re-appointed in 1961. Born in Massa- chusetts, Mr. Dunn graduated from the College of Pharmacy of Fordham Uni- versity. After several years of chain practice, he joined an uncle in the Greenwich Drug Company, which was founded in 1861. He became head of the company in 1935.
Active in the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, Mr. Dunn has served on the NABP Legislative Com- mittee, been chairman of the NABP- American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy District 1, and has been an officer of the New England Council Boards of Pharmacy.

Cancer Research Progress
A new lead in cancer research has been uncovered in an investigational drug which attacks a wide variety of experimental tumors in mice, it was disclosed here today.
Researchers of Eli Lilly and Com- pany reported on the new drug—called acronycine—at the annual meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Associa- tion. Acronycine is an alkaloid obtained from the bark of the Australian scrub ash tree.
The researchers cautioned that acronycine is still in the early stages of investigation. Considerable addi- tional study must be undertaken to de- termine the extent of toxicity in ani- mals before trials in human beings may be justified.
The significance of the discovery is that a new kind of chemical structure with antitumor effects has become avail- able for “investigation, the Lilly re- searchers said.
In mice, acronycine inhibited twelve of seventeen types of experimental tumors. In tests involving ten kinds of cancer, significant numbers of mice have survived indefinitely.
The report was presented to the as- sociation by Gordon H. Svoboda, Ph.D., phytochemist, and Gerald A. Poore, Patrick J. Simpson, and George B. Boder, bacteriologists.

Emergency Health Manual Available For Pharmacies
John R. Kenny, Jr., Chairman of the Committee on Disaster and National Security of the American Pharmaceuti- cal Association, announced the avyail- ability of the recently-published “Orien- tation Manual on Disaster Preparedness for Pharmacists’.
The manual, which was prepared by the APhA Committee, clearly outlines the pharmacist’s areas of responsibility during a disaster and discusses vari- ous organizational programs and activi- ties in relation to existing federal dis- aster programs. Mr. Kenny pointed out that “the pharmacist has the primary responsibility of supplying the physi- cian with medications and supplies which he will require in order to save lives.”’
He also stated that “in the absence of medical supplies, the physician’s ability to effectively cope with all types of medical casualties would be greatly reduced. Imagine the difficulties in- volved in trying to prevent epidemics without the aid of vaccines or anti- biotics or to alleviate pain and suf- fering without the benefit of analgesics and sedatives.”’
Recognizing the importance of the pharmacist’s services under all types of emergency circumstances, it is hoped that the “Orientation Manual” will provide a basis for community phar-- macists to develop programs in con junction with allied health profession- als, as well as with local, state and federal agencies. The manual, in addi- tion to citing useful reference material, contains a complete listing of all the pharmaceuticals and related supplies in the Packaged Disaster Hospital (PDH). Also listed are the contents of the Fall- out Shelter Medical Kits.
Single copies of the “Orientation Manual” may be obtained by writing to the Division of Communications,
APhA, 2215 Constitution Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20037. Quantity re- quests should be addressed to the Health Mobilization Representative in the re- spective State Health Department.

Health & Welfare Unit for SKF
Smith Kline & French Laboratories has established a special group in its Marketing Division to evaluate con- tinuing market changes resulting from expanding government health and wel- fare programs.
Frazier Cheston, Director of Distribu- tion, said the pharmaceutical firm established the section because of the growing importance of government health and welfare programs, such as Medicare, to the company’s business.
Donald W. Belcher, who recently analyzed the impact of Medicare on the company, has been named Director, Health and Welfare Activities. Thomas M. Collins, formerly Manager of Dis- tribution Relations, becomes Assistant to the Director, Health and Welfare Activities.
The new section will have offices in both Philadelphia and Washington.
Mr. Cheston also announced that Col. Howard B. Nelson (USAF Ret.) becomes Associate Director, Health and Welfare Activities, with headquarters in the na- tion’s capital. Colonel Nelson’s former duties will be assumed by Col. Kenneth B. Johnson (USAF Ret.), who becomes Associate Director for Government Dis- tribution, also located in Washington. Colonel Nelson and Colonel Johnson will report to Belcher.

How to followa hematinic sale with repeat business
One way is to recommend Zentinic, a hematinic that provides results. It contains recognized im- portant hematinic factors needed to treat iron deficiency as well as certain nutritional deficien- cies of the B complex—factors like too mg. of iron as well-tolerated ferrous fumarate. Zentinic
also has a generous 200 mg. of vitamin C, an
essential nutrient in its own right that gives further assurance of the
absorption of iron. A safe quantity of folic acid has been added to the
formula to provide the beneficial effect of this blood-building vitamin. Finally, the other B complex vitamins are included for normal red- blood-cell formation and general nutritional support. In total, a comprehensive array of antianemia factors. And because they work in
anemia, your customers come back for more.

Government and Health Care: A Partnership
Whether we like it or not, we have entered a period of greater and greater involvement of government in all aspects of health care. As the law of the land, we must accept and live with medical care programs for the indigent, the aged, the handicapped, the blind and dependent children.
Under Title XIX of the Social Se- curity Amendments of 1965, we will see more and more people of all ages who will be certified as medically indigent and, therefore, eligible for free health care. Prescriptions for these people will be filled for the most part in community pharmacies.
For the profession of pharmacy the important objective must be to assure quality pharmaceuticals and the high- est standards of service for all. Those interested in maintaining a free, inde- pendent practice of pharmacy will in- sist that prescriptions for recipients of public health programs be filled in com- munity pharmacies, with freedom of choice of pharmacist assured. This has been and is the position of the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association.
The percentage of the volume of pharmacies derived from prescriptions, drugs and related health needs is in- creasing rapidly. Within a few short years the 50% mark will be exceeded as a national average for independent pharmacies. Medicare and welfare pro- grams are going to accelerate this trend.
The alert pharmacist who explores and takes advantage of professional op- portunities in his neighborhood will be able to approach the status of a full time health professional, with all the
attendant satisfactions and rewards. This development will help mold the image of some pharmacies as being particularly interested in pharmaceu- tical services, rather than merchandis- ing. In turn, this resulting image will tend to identify further certain phar- macies as those involved in pharmacy as a profession—a kind of snow-balling effect, as it were.
In effect, then, government and health care can be exploited by phar- macists for both the benefit of public health and the profession of pharmacy. A healthy partnership can result when the public interest and the profession- al interest coincide.
Here is a concrete demonstration of the inadequacy of the individual and the imperative need of effective, unified efforts through a professional society. The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, with less than 100% sup- port from the profession it works and fights for, has remarkable achievements to its record. Now, in order to meet the challenges of the coming months and years in the single field of govern- mental health plans alone, greater sup- port for the MPA—numerically, finan-
cially and in personnel (staff and volun- ©
teer) —is mandatory.
All pharmacists will have to devote serious thought to what their responsi- bilities are, where their own true inter- ests lie, what temporary sacrifices they are willing to make to achieve solid long range goals, and what commit- ments they are convinced are essential for the survival of pharmacy as a free, independent profession.

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
As we approach another Annual Convention—the 84th Annual Meeting of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association—one is struck by the fact that there is an active and varied program being carried on by the MPA on behalf of all phar- macists and the allied drug industry.
During the past year as your President, I was in a position to see that behind every project there were countless hours and days contributed freely by fellow pharmacists for the benefit of everyone. There are a number of practicing phar- macists who serve aS chairmen, officers or committee members whose freely given services are really beyond repayment. These men gladly give of themselves and seek only to advance their chosen profession. We can hardly thank them enough.
There are a number of projects in which the Association has been involved and some have succeeded or progressed satisfactorily. Others have not advanced as rapidly as we would like.
Among the successes has been the dedication of the Cole Pharmacy Museum. I am truly proud to have seen this wonderful contribution to our pharmaceutical heritage become a reality during my term. At the same time the Swain Model Pharmacy is being installed and should be completed this year.
Of great importance to practicing pharmacists are the increases that we have obtained in medical care fees. Although many persons helped, it must be clearly understood that the leadership and the accomplishment came from the MPA and its representatives in the appropriate places.
In the area of prescription prepayment plans, the MPA has gone to expense and effort to obtain information about possible plans that would be on a solid footing for us in Maryland. We hope that when we do come up with a recom- mendation for the pharmacists of this State, they can be sure that it will be sound from every point of view.
And so, as we prepare for our Annual Convention, I can only say to every pharmacist, attend so that you can personally receive a more complete report of the work done on your behalf and on behalf of the profession of pharmacy. Come and learn how others meet the problems you and I both have. Come and hear from experts and come and enjoy yourself.
I hope to have the pleasure of meeting many of you at Tamiment-in-the- Poconos the last week in June.
Sincerely,
President

A Message from the Executive Secretary
“lf | don’t work for these people, someone else will”
During the last few years a number of “pharmacies” have been opened which have used the pharmacy not to provide pharmaceutical services to a community, but as a loss-leader de- partment of a large mercantile enter- prise or food market. The pharmacy merely serves aS a promotional gim- mick to draw traffic or create an image of low prices throughout the emporium.
The firms engaged in these exploita- tions of a profession in order to expand the volume or number of their outlets usually have been owned by non- pharmacists. Recently it was announced that some of these “pharmacies” have closed down altogether or given up their pharmacy departments.
The pharmacists previously employed by these closed down “pharmacies” permitted their pharmacist licenses to be used to break down vital pharmacist- physician-patient relationships. Phar- macists degrade their profession when they associate with enterprises that make the compounding and dispensing of prescriptions the mere sale of a com- modity rather than the participation in community health care through per- sonalized professional pharmaceutical service.
Some of these pharmacists, enticed by seemingly irresistible offers, have rationalized, “If I don’t go to work for these people, some one else will’.
The result of this kind of ethics, if practiced by many others, can only be a great diminution of opportunities for pharmacists to establish or maintain a free practice of pharmacy as an inde- pendent profession. Fortunately, the large majority of pharmacists have made a professional choice and have declined to allow their personal phar-
macist license to be used to erode the foundations of pharmacy practice.
Opportunities for Community Practice
We must applaud the efforts of firms such as the Henry B. Gilpin Company who seek to develop programs to en- able pharmacists to secure desirable lo- cations for community practice. By means of guaranteed leases, manage- ment and financial assistance, store planning and Pharmaceutical Center designs, qualified ambitious pharma- cists can establish their own pharmacy practices.
Calvert Drug, District Wholesale, Loewy and Washington Wholesale, of course, also offer many valuable pro- grams to assist the pharmacist who wishes to launch his own private phar- macy practice or to better maintain an already existing pharmacy.
The drug wholesaler now more than ever is an irreplaceable link in efficient drug distribution through essential com- munity pharmacies.
MPA's Unique Group Health Plans
At the Spring Regional Meeting, the Association’s group health and accident insurance firm, American Health & Accident Insurance Co., revealed some unique, economical plans to meet the high costs of medical care. All members will shortly receive a brochure with details. It will pay every member to contact Mr. Roy H. Shumaker of the E. G. Leatherman Company at VE 7- 7561 to learn why no other plan even approaches the features and benefits of the Association plan at such a low cost.

A Message From The General Chairman Of The Convention
MORRIS R. YAFFE
The rolling hills of Pennsylvania, with its beauty and Dutch Colonial heritage, beckon to you to come and spend your family vacation with The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association in Tami- ment-in-the-Poconos on June 27th through the 30th.
Here at Tamiment, you will eat and drink and play as guests of this great “vacation-land”. Everything for your pleasure and comfort is at your beck and call. Your children may be taken care of by trained counselors all day long. There will be swimming, boating, fishing, handball, shuffle board, nature walks, dancing lessons, adult games and the most picturesque golf course on the east coast.
At night we will be entertained by top notch talent and dance to the lilting tunes of two orchestras—Ameri- can and Latin American. For those who
seek a more secluded spot, there is ‘““The Constellation Room” with its famous combo and charming songstress.
Our business programs will follow a more concise form, limiting committee reports to the minimum to give more emphasis to the program presentations. Our main feature of the business meet- ings will be the presentation of very important and helpful facts on nurs- ing homes, Medicare and H.R. 2 by the top people in these fields.
Some of the Convention Program highlights are:
Monday afternoon—‘Day of Judg- ment”, a film produced by Eli Lilly and first shown at the A.Ph.A. Con- vention in April. The film presents some situations encountered by phar- macists in dealing with patrons and how one pharmacist met them. Tuesday morning—A panel will dis- cuss “How to Save the Independent Practice of Pharmacy’. Three guest community pharmacists will join with members present to exchange views. Two films first premiered at the A.Ph.A. Convention will be presented on how community pharmacists can efficiently service nursing homes and small hospitals.
Wednesday all day will be set aside for your pleasure and fun—no busi- ness meetings. There will be golf tournaments, soft ball games, ladies games, etc.
Thursday morning—FDA staff mem- ber Paul A. Pumpian will speak on “Drug Abuse Control and the Phar- macist’’,
As for evening entertainment, there will be a Tamiment Show every evening, except Tuesday, when TAMPA will present a full scale, old-time carnival. Dancing will be available every evening.
The traditional banquet and installa- tion on Thursday will be preceded by a cocktail party compliments of Tami-
The Maryland Pharmacist
ment. Following the banquet there will be a gala show New York style, followed by dancing far into the night to end what we hope to be the most glorious convention yet.
I wish to thank and compliment TAMPA for its part in making this Convention the success we hope it will be. Their diligence in serving the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association at the registration desk and as Official greet- ers and with the prizes is hard to beat. I personally commend President Bloom and his committee for their dedicated efforts.
My congratulations to LAMPA and their President Sadye Friedman, and

Convention Program Features
Monday Afternoon—June 27—‘Day of Judgment’, a motion picture pre- sented by Eli Lilly & Co. to help phar- macists focus on some of the important human-relations problems encountered in pharmacy today. As the host, Walter Pidgeon, points out, the pharmacist’s success and the stature of the entire profession rest upon the way human- relations situations are handled. It doesn’t matter whether a pharmacy fills one, ten, or a thousand prescriptions per day, the relationship between the pharmacist and the patron is the same.
Tuesday Morning—June 28—‘‘How to Save the Independent Practice of Phar- macy’, a panel presentation, moderated by Dean E. Leavitt, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy, University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy. Panelists are three pharmacists who own community phar- macies: Mary Lou Andersen, President of the Delaware Pharmaceutical So- ciety; Emanuel Fiel, Philadelphia; Charles A. Schreiber, Chairman of the A.Ph.A. House of Delegates and Past President of the Indiana Pharmaceu- tical Association.
Drugs, Nursing Homes and Medi- care—Two films first premiered at the American Pharmaceutical Association Convention in April will be shown. “Pharmaceutical Services in the Nurs- ing Home” was produced by A.Ph.A. and Roche Laboratories. The film ex- plains new opportunities and challenges open to pharmacists in providing pre- scription service and pharmaceutical consultation to nursing homes under Medicare.
“New Dimensions for Service” will be presented by Donald E. Olsen, Field Manager, The Pharmacy Design De- partment, McKesson & Robins. In this presentation Mr. Olsen will describe “Three New Dimensions for Service’ for the community pharmacist. He will begin with a report on the A.Ph.A.-
McKesson pharmaceutical center pro- gram; tell about successful 1965 instal- lations, and then show the 1966 Mc- Kesson model pharmaceutical center. He will discuss the home comfort aid department as a fresh opportunity for pharmacists, brought to the fore by Medicare, and then describe a new pro- gram for service to extended care fa- cilities, which new program provides all elements necessary for a Medicare-ac- credited nursing home pharmaceutical service.
Tuesday evening a wonderful TAMPA Carnival will be put on. An old time authentic carnival with loads of prizes and fun for all.
Special ladies program by LAMPA, Judith Keith, Fashion Humorist, will present a delightful, unique program “I Haven’t A Thing To Weavr’’.

B. Olive Cole Pharmacy Museum Dedication
Dedication ceremonies for the B. Olive Cole Pharmacy Museum took place May 19 in the Health Sciences Library of the University of Maryland Baltimore Cam- pus. The Museum will encompass ex- hibition cases in the foyer of the Kelly Memorial Building, home of the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association, and will contain the major portion of the large collection of pharmaceutical arti- facts of the late L .Manuel Hendler,
Miss Cole, known as “First Lady of Pharmacy in Maryland,” is Professor Emerita of Pharmacy Administration of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, the school from which she graduated with the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy in 1913.
The invocation was given by the Rev. W. Edward Neighhoff, Associate Minis- ter of the Hiss Methodist Church and introductions were conducted by the Chairman of the Committee for the Cole Museum and its companion project, the Swain Model Pharmacy, Irving I. Cohen. Mr. Cohen spoke of the incep- tion six years ago of the idea of a phar- macy museum—a focal point for the collection and preservation of the arti- facts and memorabilia of pharmacy. He referred to the dispersion and actual loss of such antiques and his concern that this should not happen. From this concern grew the eventual establish- ment of the Cole Museum. Mr. Cohen made especial mention of the contribu- tion of Morris L. Cooper, Curator of the Cole Museum, who did most of the ar- ranging of the exhibits.
Alexander J. Ogrinz, President of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, made a brief statement during which he acknowledged the contribution of those who gave of their time and ener- gies to complete the Cole Museum. Greetings were given by Dr. Albin O. Kuhn, Vice President of the University of Maryland Baltimore Campus; Dr.
Noel E. Foss, Dean of the School of Pharmacy and Dr. Linwood F. Tice, President of the American Pharmaceu- tical Association and Dean of the Phila- delphia College of Pharmacy and Sci- ence.
Mr. Cohen then introduced the Exec- utive Secretary of the Maryland Phar- maceutical Association and Secretary of the Baltimore Metropolitan Phar- maceutical Association, Mr. Nathan I. Gruz, under whose surveillance the whole project had proceeded. Mr. Gruz summarized the evolution of the Cole Museum and his special pleasure at its being named for “one of the outstand- ing personalities in the world of phar- macy.” He noted that “Miss Cole occu- pies a unique niche, not only in Maryland pharmaceutical history, but in American pharmacy.” He also ac- knowledged the many contributions of individuals, particularly by the leader- ship of Irving I. Cohen, to the project and expressed the appreciation of every- one involved. Mr. Cohen’s persistent efforts resulted in the establishment of the museum.
Mr. Gruz then introduced the main speaker of the day, Dr. John C. Krantz, Jr., who delivered the address of trib- ute to Miss Cole. It was pointed out that Dr. Krantz was Miss Cole’s own “first and only choice’ in the matter. Dr. Krantz’s remarks are produced in full in this issue of The Maryland Pharmacist.
Prior to a tour of the Cole Pharmacy Museum and refreshments, Miss Cole took the rostrum to respond to the oc- casion.
Many letters and telegrams were read from people in other parts of the coun- try who were unable to be present at the dedication but who wished to ex- press their delight and deference to Miss Cole on the occasion of this honor.
The Maryland Pharmacist
DR. B. OLIVE COLE
A Pharmacist with a Dedicated Heart
The following are the remarks of Dr. John C. Krantz, Jr., Pro- fessor Emeritus of Pharmacology, University of Maryland School of | Medicine, on the occasion of the dedication of the Cole Pharmacy Museum, on May 19, 1966.
One of the biographers of Andrew Jackson asserted, if he had been let down from above in a city in which a great conflagration was in progress, his qualities of leadership were so out- standing, that he would have been made chief of the fire department be- fore he reached the ground. This same quality of leadership was manifested in Dr. B. Olive Cole, when Dr. E. F. Kelly called her to be the secretary of the faculty of pharmacy in 1920.
My first acquaintance with Dr. Cole was in this period of her life. We went to the polls together to vote, each for the first time, Dr. Cole because the franchise had just been granted to women and the speaker because he had just attained the voting age. Through the next half decade my associations with Dr. Cole were daily and close. She was the stabilizing influence of the small faculty. Although she had won the medal for general excellence upon graduation, she took every opportunity to advance her knowledge and pursued courses in physiology and later took the degree of bachelor of laws from the School of Law.
As a teacher in materia medica, as- sociated with the late Dr. C. C. Plitt, Dr. Cole exhibited her skill in convey- ing knowledge. She possessed that prime characteristic of a good teacher—that is a love for her students. No task was too arduous if it was to help one stu- dent acquire a greater knowledge of the subject. But in addition to technical knowledge Dr. Cole realized that only a zood man could be a great pharmacist
May 1966 583
and by work and example she taught truth, beauty and kindness. These same characteristics were carried over to the instruction given by Dr. Cole in phar- maceutical jurisprudence. With her training in pharmacy and law and her devotion to her students, she made this course a paragon of excellence. She seemed to have caught the spirit of Woodrow Wilson, who in his Swarth- more College address, declared, “That the purpose of a college education was to lift the eyes of the students to horizons that less instructed individu- als could never see.” There are many within the sound of my voice who are debtors to this lady whom we honor, a teacher with a dedicated heart.
As an administrator, Dr. Cole pos- sessed the admirable qualities of a facile mind, a comprehensive grasp of her responsibilities, coupled with fair- ness and firmness. She adhered ten- aciously to an old Chinese dictum, “To know the best and to do the second best is the beginning of spiritual de- cay.”
Her duties were arduous and entailed great responsibility, but she was en- dowed with a love for work and a de- votion to duty that was never dimmed by the passing of the years. She real- ized that with any administrator, the English language was the greatest tool in her possession and she learned to use it with precision. I admired always her crystal clear penmanship and her feli- city of diction.
Her conduct in matters of arbitra- tion was impeccable. She was always gracious and could disagree with firm- ness but never with rancor or animosity. In matters that were inconsequential she was pliant and malleable. But when the issue was significant she was inflexible in her stand. And she had the wisdom to distinquish the essential from the trival. She could steer a true course between the rocks of contro- versy and the shoals of idle talk. She held with a fidelity that never wavered to the cause of righteousness. She was always “loyal to the royal’ that was
584 May 1966
The Maryland Pharmacist
within her conscience. Like Thoreau, she could always declare “If I break step with you, it is because I hear the drum beat of a higher drummer.” The pharmacy school for a third of a cen- tury was the beneficiary of this admin- istrator with a dedicated heart.
As a person, Dr. Cole has made an indelible imprint upon the pharma- ceutical circles in Maryland and indeed in the entire nation. She has a sense of humor that has not been dulled by the ever-lengthening past. She enjoys wholesome fun and seems to have caught the spirit of Ella Wheeler Wil- cox in her immortal poem, Solitude:
“Laugh and the world laughs with
you,
Weep and you weep alone.
This dear old earth must borrow its
mirth,
But trouble, it has enough of its own.”
When Mark Twain was in Paris, he stood at the Place Vendome and viewed with awe the statue of Napoleon. He then declared, ‘when the history of the Nineteenth Century is written in suf- ficient retrospect, there are two charac- ters who will stand out in bold relief. Here is Napoleon, he tried to take the world by force and failed; and Helen Keller who takes the world with love and is succeeding.”
B. Olive Cole follows in the wake of Helen Keller—with her dedicated heart she knows when to be silent and when to speak. She is never clumsy or mala- droit. She does not make harsh judg- ments. She has eye lids as well as eyes. She always has “a word in season for those who are weary”. Her regal ap- pearance and contagious smile trans- form fear into hope. As Dante said of Beatrice, ‘In your eyes I see the light eternal.”
When the ravages of time and the menace of the years encountered her indomitable spirit, fear knocked on the door of her dedicated heart. Faith opened and lo, no one was there. All hail—greatness with affection—her spirit belongs to the ages.

T.A.M.P.A. President's Message
As the President of the Travelers Auxiliary of the Maryland Pharmaceu- tical Association, on its 50th Anni- versary Golden Jubilee, I wish to wel- come you, and hope you will all come, to what I believe will be the finest Con- vention in years and befitting the year of our Golden Jubilee.
With the combined efforts of the MPA, LAMPA, and TAMPA we have beamed this convention to the younger people, the fathers and mothers who would like to have their children with them, those who have faithfully come to Conventions year after year, those who prefer the beaches, those who like the mountains, golfing, fishing, swimming, boating and yes, the gormet connoisseur too.
TAMPA’s night will be an unusual night that will not be forgotten. “TAMPA’s CARNIVAL” will take you back to the good old days and give the young folks something to remember. HERMAN J. BLOOM The only thing missing will be the

“Mud”. This will be an all-out effort by all our combined committees.
I also hope the TAMPA members will come in strong numbers to our meeting on Thursday morning, June 30th at 11 o’clock for our 50th meet- ing. I assure you that it will be an interesting one as there are quite a number of new things to discuss for the future of TAMPA.
It is with all humility that I say I was proud and honored to be asso- ciated, and work side by side this year, with gentlemen like President Al Ogrinz, Vice President Morris Yaffe, and Secretary Nathan Gruz who are, I believe, friends and well-wishers of TAMPA and did all in their power to assist us.
Secondly, but far from least, my thanks to our Secretary-Treasurer, John Crozier, who, with all his trials and tribulations this year has put me in his debt for his kindness, help, and guidance throughout the year. I also appreciate the help and cooperation of my officers and members who deserve medals for service “Beyond the Call of Duty”. A list of their names would be too long to record. I must mention one name, Sheeler Read, my sidekick, who was with me all the way through.
I am looking forward with eagerness to what I expect to be the warmest and most successful convention at Tamiment in the Poconos. SEE YOU THERE.

ANNOUNCING the New Group Medical- Income Plan for Members
By GEORGE J. BERESKA Executive Assistant Special Accounts American Health and Life Insurance Company
As most of you know, the American Health and Life Insurance Company has had the privilege and responsibility since 1953 of underwriting the Group Medical and Income Plans for the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association and the Baltimore Metropolitan Phar- maceutical Association.
Since your Plan was originally de- signed over 13 years ago, the Insurance Committee of the Maryland Pharma- ceutical Association requested that we prepare a completely new Group Pro- gram to provide benefits and limits not only able to meet the high costs of medical coverage today, but also for the foreseeable future. We were also asked to provide income continuance protection in higher amounts than currently available and for longer periods of time. The new Program was to be flexible enough so that the bene- fits could be adjusted to meet the in- dividual needs of every Member.
This was quite an order; but after months of study and research, we have created a Program that has met the requirements of your Insurance Com- mittee.
When you see the new Program, I think you will agree that your Associ- ation Group Plan compares very fav- orably with any association’s plan in the country.
There are two separate coverages of- fered for your consideration:
CATASTROPHE HEALTH CARE— which is a major medical plan with many features that make it superior to conventional plans. For example, you have 100% of covered expenses with overall benefits up to a maxi- mum of $24,000 for each period of ill- ness or injury.
THE INCOME CONTINUANCE PLAN —which allows you to purchase dis- ability income benefits in larger amounts and for longer periods than that provided by the current plan. You have six income plans from which to choose—with disability benefit periods ranging from three years up to age 65. Also, the maxi- mum monthly benefit has been in- creased to $800.00.
You will receive a letter from your Executive Secretary, Nathan Gruz, of- ficially announcing the opening of the enrollment period. You will also receive brochures outlining the benefits and the low annual premium of both plans— Catastrophe Health Care and Income Continuance. You will be personally contacted, along with every pharma- cist in the State of Maryland, by one of the Association’s Enrollment Repre- sentatives who will carefully review the Program for you.
If you wish to be contacted imme- diately, just complete the reply card included with your letter, and drop it in the mail so that an early appoint- ment may be scheduled.
May I re-emphasize just one point— this Program was specifically designed for Members of the Maryland Phar- maceutical Association and the Balti- more Metropolitan Pharmaceutical As- sociation. Only pharmacists who are Members of these associations will be eligible to enroll, along with their em- ployees.
We at American Health and Life In- surance Company and our representa- tives, Roy Shumaker and A] Rossmann, have appreciated the opportunity to service your insurance needs over these past 13 years. We are looking forward to many more years of being of service to you.

Medicare and Pharmacy
By SIMON SOLOMON
Delivered at the 4th Annual Simon Solomon Pharmacy Economics Sem- inar December 2, 1965.
Medicare not only concerns the mem- bers of the pharmaceutical profession, but practically all of the people in the country.
I shall dwell mainly upon the eco- nomic phase and the Freedom of Choice Amendment as it applies to the com- munity pharmacist.
We are all well aware that the medi-_
cal and pharmaceutical professions were strongly opposed to the Medicare pro- gram. I am perhaps one of the few pharmacists who favored Medicare. But I want to be honest and very frank with you and say that I very much fear, and I believe many other persons fear that the program will be enlarged to include the “cradle to grave system”. If and when this does occur, I want to offer my deepest sympathy to my many married friends who have children and grandchildren because as a bachelor, I will not be affected very much and I will not have to worry about my chil- dren and grandchildren being burdened with the constant increase in taxes for the next few generations.
Whether we like it or not the Medi- care Program for providing hospital insurance for the aged is now here to stay. It was inevitable and many au- thorities feel in its general principles it meets the criteria laid down by the Advisory Council on Social Security, a distinguished bi-partisan group that includes some very hard-headed and well-informed people.
The group points out very wisely that the cost of medical care in the upper age brackets is too heavy for most people to carry out on current income and therefore the only way to finance it is to spread it over the whole
working population; in this way their insurance costs will be paid while work- ers are still relatively young and well. The Advisory Council notes that health care has become so expensive that “vir- tually no one”, including the relatively well off person at the height of his earning power, can afford to pay the cost of major prolonged illness unless he has effective insurance. The Council, after a year and a half study, has con- cluded that it is unrealistic to expect private voluntary insurance alone to provide comprehensive protection for the great majority of old or totally dis- abled people. The Council found that despite years of hard work by private insurance companies, only a little over half of the elderly have any kind of health insurance coverage, and most of what they have is limited.
A recent survey of the nation’s aged shows that half have an income of less than $1300. and that half of all elderly couples’ income is below $2900. There- fore, we must agree that Medicare re- moves substantially the economic bar- riers that formerly kept most elderly people from all but minimal medical at- tention. Now that the program is a reality, it is the duty of all of us, in- cluding members of the medical and pharmaceutical professions to make it work, despite some of the sacrifices it might entail.
Economic Effect On The Community Pharmacy
I would like my fellow pharmacists to give some thought to this question. What is going to be the economic effect of the Medicare program upon the future of the community pharmacist? And where is the community pharma- cist going to fit into the Medicare pic- ture without the freedom of Choice Amendment. It is very evident that
The Maryland Pharmacist
this amendment presents a very serious economic problem to the community pharmacist.
Perhaps the drug industry finds it difficult to understand why the Javits Amendment calling for a study of ways to include drugs in the out-patient care portions of the Medicare Bill was not accepted. It is understood that the House-Senate Conference Committee felt that a congressional demand for such a study would constitute too great a commitment to the idea of including drugs in this section of the legislation. Many observers have pointed out that the principal reason why drugs are not being included at the present time is not that the coverage of drugs is un- necessary, but because of the absence of the information about costs.
It is said that the committee also felt that since Kerr-Mills programs are operated with state, as well as federal funds, the Freedom of Choice Amend- ment would place unwarranted restric- tions on the operation of these pro- grams by the states. With this the writer does not agree. The opponents of the Amendment were no doubt also concerned that some persons might abuse the privilege of dispensing drugs outside of the hospital by the supplying of medication to whole families through prescriptions to aged recipients.
On the other hand, some observers have suggested that the Amendment was not taken up in order to leave the door open for mandatory dispensing through state hospitals and clinics if, in future years, budgetary problems make such a policy seem desirable.
It might be well to mention also that HEW’s Bureau of Family Services plans an intensive study of the various types of drug programs used by the states under Kerr-Mills and related federal- states public assistance programs. One of the things they will consider is the dispensing of drugs through government facilities vs. private pharmacies.
However, we should not become alarmed because at present there is no
May 1966 593
specific provision for prescription drugs outside of hospitals and nursing homes, and you can rest assured the basic Medicare program will be amended to provide these for the aged. Our concern is whether or not it will include com- munity pharmacies.
I do not know what steps so far have been taken to meet the situation, but how can we insist upon a Freedom of Choice Amendment so that community pharmacies should be eligible to fill Medicare prescriptions until authorized representatives of our national and state associations meet with proper Health, Education and Welfare officials to discuss a plan which would establish what is a fair rate of remuneration for filling these prescriptions.
Harold Pratt, one of the group which made the trip to England to study the National Health Service program said, “The only warning I picked up on the trip was that when Medicare comes, we had better know what our costs are or we may have to knuckle down to whatever the government hands us”.
It is very obvious that if our na- tional and state pharmaceutical leaders hope to succeed in getting such pro- visions enacted, as well as future legis- lation which will give patients Freedom of Choice in having their prescriptions filled at community pharmacies, they should immediately review the entire situation and abandon, in some in- stances, their policy of strong opposi- tion. Instead, our leaders should sit around the conference table and try to reach a compromise satisfactory to all concerned.
Our problem might be vastly differ- ent than the one in England where to clarify the picture the Ministry of Health agreed jointly with the negotiat- ing committee representing the chemists (pharmacists) to engage a firm of in- dustrial consultants to carry out an inquiry into the cost of dispensing.
It is interesting to note arising from the inquiry a claim was lodged with
594 May 1966
The Maryland Pharmacist
the Ministry of Health which was in two parts:
1—The professional fee claim related to labor costs including the nominal salary of the owner pharmacist (in- dependent) plus a profit margin.
2The claim for on cost was related to overheads plus a profit margin.
In other words, the pharmaceutical leaders and government officials of Great Britian got together and agreed upon a program that apparently is satisfactory to all concerned.
Necessity For Talks
If we are to avoid a lot of compli- cations under Medicare, then our phar- maceutical leaders should meet with H.E.W. officials as often as necessary to clarify the picture. Now please do not misunderstand what I am trying to say. Iam not advocating that we should accept the program under which they are now operating in Great Britian. It would never work here. While it is true that in this country we operate under the state welfare department program, it is my definite opinion that the cost of filling Medicare prescriptions will eventually have to meet the ap- proval of H.E.W. officials.
Allow me to quote a statement to support such reasoning. Though H.E.W. officials are now vigorously proclaiming their intention of avoiding any ap- pearance of telling the states how to manage their own programs, the fed- eral government eventually has to face up to the issue of establishing a formula for paying for the medications provided to hospitalized patients under the first two layers of the Medicare program.
The law requires the federal govern- ment to pay “reasonable charges’ to all hospitals for costs incurred in treat- ing hospitalized Medicare patients. Such charges would include reimbursements to hospitals for prescription medication
used for Medicare patients. If this is true with hospitals, then we have every right to assume that if the Freedom of Choice Amendment is finally approved and the community pharmacies become eligible to fill Medicare prescriptions, the government will certainly step in and tell us what represents reasonable charges. If we do not agree with them as to what they consider reasonable charges, then the only way we can fight back is to have facts and figures to prove our point.
If H.E.W. would not consider such a joint program as in Great Britian, then our national organizations should un- dertake the job alone by employing a consulting firm of national recognition. The results of the survey should be presented to H.E.W. long before the Medicare program becomes effective, since it is likely that compromises will have to be made on both sides before the matter is finally settled. If for any reason, the national associations can- not undertake such a program, then they should encourage the individual state associations to do so, giving them advice, counsel and financial assistance if needed.
We should not forget that approxi- mately 19 million people over 65 will become eligible for Medicare in July 1966, and it is very plain that the in- adequate number of hospitals, clinics and nursing homes will not be able to accommodate all of them. The an- swer is that a large number will have to be treated at home; prescriptions will be given them to fill at some out- side agency, the logical place being the community pharmacy. But let us not. be deluded into thinking that H.E.W.., for practical reasons, has no other al- ternative than to accept the community pharmacy as one of the sources to fill many of these prescriptions. We should not be expected to fill these prescrip- tions at whatever price the agency wants to offer, while on the other hand, we must come to reasonable terms with them.

Explanation of Coverage
In view of what I have just said, I know that some of you are wondering whether prescription medication under Medicare applies to patients outside of hospitals and nursing homes. No it does not.
Let us take a look at the medical insurance coverage. There is no ques- tion but that a very large majority of those eligible under the program will come under the medical insurance plan, 90% of which is in addition to the hospital insurance plan under Medi- care. This means that the medical in- surance program will help materially to pay for physicians’ and surgeons’ serv- ices, not only in the hospitals and doc- tor’s office, but also in the home or else- where. It will also provide up to one hundred home health visits under an approved plan each year with no need for prior hospitalization. This is in ad- dition to 100 visits provided under the hospital insurance program. As the medical insurance plan pays for doc- tors’ visits for patients with or without prior hospitalization, it means that thousands upon thousands will be treated at home, and many prescrip- tions wil be written for these patients. Because of this, I firmly believe that we can look forward to strong political pressure to be brought to bear to amend the medical insurance plan through legislation, which says that the patient will not have to pay for prescription drugs when treated at home just as he does not have to pay for prescription medication and other drugs in hospi- tals and nursing homes under Medi- care. If this happens, the big question is can these prescriptions be filled at neighborhood pharmacies? Not unless we have a Freedom of Choice Amend- ment so that the community pharmacy will be eligible as one of the agents to fill these prescriptions.
What Pharmacists Must Do We might as well face it. The govern- men is not concerned about our over-
head costs. It is my opinion that it will insist that these prescriptions be filled at the lowest possible cost and for that reason it is urgent that we iron out our difficulties before it is too late. To my way of thinking, under no cir- cumstances can the community phar- macy afford to be left out of the picture even though it might mean a reason- able financial sacrifice. If the patient is unable to take the prescription to the community pharmacy to fill under this program, then our professional image and prestige will deteriorate in the mind of the public. They will not understand why the community pharmacist, as part of the public health team, is not per- mitted to fill these prescriptions.
Benefits to Pharmacists
Still we must admit that community pharmacies all over the country are sure to benefit from this vast new pro- gram of health care for the aged as the program unfolds in the months and years ahead. Even without the Freedom of Choice Amendment, community phar- macies will benefit indirectly because of Medicare. Many small hospitals and nursing homes will be brought into ex- istence and it is most likely they will not maintain their own pharmacies, but depend, as they do today, upon the community pharmacies to fill prescrip- tions written for their patients. It might be well to mention that reim- bursement to community pharmacies supplying drugs to nursing homes for Medicare patients will be based on “reasonable costs” of the drugs them- selves, plus a markup or fee. While no effort will be made to control such markup or fees, it was pointed out, however, that if these are excessive, the government may step in.
The Medicare law provides for major changes in the Kerr-Mills program operated in many states and the fed- eral government helps the states to pay for medical expenses of the aged and disabled, etc. With an additional three hundred million dollars or perhaps more of federal funds available for
596 May 1966
The Maryland Pharmacist?
such purposes, these changes are bound to increase the number of prescriptions filled by community pharmacies for welfare patients.
According to AMERICAN DRUG- GIST, welfare prescriptions totaled 41,256,997 in 1964 representing an ex- penditure of $142,661,300. From this, it is very easy to visualize the magni- tude of the programs of Medicare and Kerr-Mills.
Fellow pharmacists, we have many serious problems facing us in the future, and it will not be easy to overcome the many obstacles in our path. The results achieved will depend entirely upon the efforts put forth by our na- tional and state pharmaceutical lead- ers with the assistance of the rank and file members. It means a lot of hard work but we cannot fail if we work to- gether.
Perhaps the “VOICE OF THE PHAR- MACIST” gave us the answer when it said in its publication:
“Can pharmacy now mobilize to de- velop a long range plan to fulfill the needs of the public as well as continue the role of the profession in providing pharmaceutical service through the community pharmacy?”.
I am sure that some of you will disagree with my reasoning on the Medicare program and that is as it should be. But remember that I am only a retail pharmacist and not an expert on the subject. I am only try- ing to give an individual opinion.
No doubt the A.Ph.A. and the NARD have been making an effort to correct the situation, but I feel we can only succeed in reaching our goal if the national association leaders meet with representatives of state pharmaceuti- cal associations and map out a program in which there will be a determined effort of having delegations for each state meet with their senators and con- gressmen.

The Economics Of Professionalism
Address by
JOHN T. FAY, JR., Director, Division of Pharmaceutical Services, American Pharmaceutical Association,
Fourth Annual Simon Solomon Pharmacy Economics Seminar, December 2, 1965
The most effective measure of a sound economic system is value received and not price. Price has its place, yes. Ag- gressive merchandising has its place More important to me, however, is the value of superlative pharmaceutical service. The American Pharmaceutical Association believes that an exacting re- appraisal of the state of our profession is in order. There are some who will argue that pharmacy is not a profes- sion but a business. We reject this notion flatly. Pharmacy is now and al- ways was a professional activity. This doe not mean that economic principles and sound management are unimportant in the conduct of a profession. They are most important. Any professional practice—medicine, dentistry or phar- macy—is sure to fail without careful management.
This afternoon I want to describe two relatively new activities of the APhA and its Academy of General Practice. These are the Pharmaceutical Center program and the expanding opportuni- ties now offered by pharmaceutical serv- ice to nursing homes. You have read much about both of these topics. Since last April when the Pharmaceutical Center was introduced at the APhA annual meeting the idea has been the topic of conversation and argument whenever pharmacists get together. Pharmaceutical service to nursing homes is reaching that point now. There is new activity. New activity that results from an increasing interest of commu- nity pharmacists in their professional obligations. But we should remember that much hard work has preceded this new interest and activity. The work of thousands of conscientious pharmacists during the past 113 years since the organization of the American Phar- maceutical Association. In ISH, AD
pharmacists met in Philadelphia and began a chain of events that led to the establishment of all of the organizations that now serve practitioners of phar- macy. What these 20 men started now directly involves 42,000 representatives of the profession and many thousands more who benefit from the work of the 42,000, often without even knowing it.
Apparently there are still many prac- titioners in pharmacy who are so in- volved with their own problems that they neglect the larger problem of pro- fessional advancement. Although it seems difficult to believe, there are pharmacists who are confused about the APhA and its programs. Consider these basic facts about your national profes- sional organization. The American Pharmaceutical Association is the only organization that represents all special- ty interests in the profession. The As- sociation operates from an impressive headquarters building in Washington with a staff of some 50 specialists and an annual budget of one million dollars. Article II of the APhA Constitution lists 7 “objects” that collectively form a basis for the Association’s existence. The first and most important of these begins with the phrase “To improve and promote the public health .. .” most of you know the others. These objects create a forum for the exchange of in- formation among _ responsible profes- sionals in a continuing effort to provide the best pharmaceutical service.
But an Association is not a staff, not a building, not a million dollar budget and not a list of purposes. An Associa- tion is people. At this moment the APhA is 42,000 people. This includes some 12,000 students and associate members. Active voting members with full privileges, then, number 30,000. Of these, approximately 25,000 are phar-

macists in community practice. The rest of the membership practices their pro- fession in hospitals, educational insti- tutions, industrial plants and laborator- ies and in many other places. This ac- curately reflects the diversity of special- ty interest and the dominant impor- tance of the community pharmacist.
The community pharmacists who sup- port their national professional society have established a new structural unit within the Association — the APhA Academy of General Practice. This is a new activity but it does have a long history. The formation of sections within the Association was the result of a suggestion by Joseph P. Remington in 1887. Since that time a variety of names has been used to describe that section of the Association which would accommodate the special needs and in- terests of the community pharmacists. In 1961, two APhA sections were merged to form the Section of General Prac- tice. And in April of this year the Academy of General Practice was estab- lished by a vote of the Association House of Delegates. The major objective of this Academy is to provide special opportunities for community pharma- cists to share their experiences at the APhA annual meeting and at regular meetings in each of five geographical regions. I have several copies of the complete Academy By Laws for any of you that are interested in the specifics.
Maryland has a Pharmaceutical Cen- ter right here in Baltimore. This is the practice of Victor Morgenroth and Jo- seph Dorsch, as you know. But the idea began in a small town in the Shenan- doah Valley of Virginia. Eugene V. White set out to eliminate all evidence of merchandising from his pharmacy and to provide complete professional service in an outstanding environment. This he has done with great success. And more important, he has encouraged others to follow his lead. Nine months ago Gene White, Victor Morgenroth, Joseph Dorsch and other pharmacists who have adopted this method of prac- tice joined with the American Phar-
maceutical Association and McKesson & Robbins to introduce the first model of the Pharmaceutical Center. To date one other wholesale firm, the Bergen Drug Company of New Jersey, is offering Pharmaceutical Centers and three other wholesalers are now preparing plans.
The forces of economic change and pressure which influenced Mr. White’s decision should be considered. Yes, he had a traditional drug store and it was disappointing. It took ten years of worrying, hard thinking and plan- ning for him to achieve his objective. During these years a broad assortment of dramatic changes were occuring. You know better than I that there has been a clear trend to “bigness.’’ Witness the recent growth of chain operations. Some 130 large drug chains (10 or more units) now have more than 5000 outlets. Chain Store Age claims a sales increase of 8% for chains last year against a 2% increase for independents. And the big get bigger. New units with as much as 35,000 square feet of floor space are not uncommon now. Of course, much of the increased sales volume in chains is due to newly diversified lines of hard and soft goods — a bizarre collection ranging from fertilizer to pre- packaged tropical fish.
All of this has not gone unnoticed by organizations like Sears, Montgomery Ward and J. C. Penney. Look at the activity in the supermarkets. An esti- mated 300 markets now have pharma- cies in or adjoining their installations. The giant of them all, the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, is interested too. From a very modest start in 1956 the Marrud Organization has grown to more than 200 leased discount drug units in 30 states and Puerto Rico. Commenting on all of this, E. B. Weiss has predicted that within ten years 90% of the “drug business volume’ will be divided be- tween corporate chains and new types of independent cooperatives. Commer- cialism is flourishing and competition grows keener every day.
Some think that an independent pharmacist can compete effectively in

today’s business climate by shifting around piles of merchandise near the cash register or by broadening his lines. We think not. Our argument is a simple one. Pharmacists can prosper by prac- ticing pharmacy. This is a demonstrable fact. It remains for us to demonstrate it clearly to more members of the pro- fession.
There are compelling professional reasons as well as those of an economic nature that shape our viewpoint. Even barely adequate pharmaceutical service
requires more time today — time to Study, to attend seminars and other educational programs — time to be
informed. It follows logically that su- perlative pharmaceutical service is a function of invested time also. The Phar- macist who practices as a health pro- fessional, not a merchant, has this time.
What are the essential characteristics of a Pharmaceuticai Center? What are the elements that collectively form this unique type of practice? The most ob- vious characteristic is readily apparent. There is no merchandise on display. None. Not one toothbrush or bottle of vitamins, and certainly not a beach ball, rake handle or hair dryer. The effect, on first exposure, is startling, even dramatic. Paneled walls, carpeting, comfortable furnishing in the waiting area, cheerful lighting and tasteful decor — these things reduce the effect of austerity and contribute to an atmosphere of quiet dignity. The result is a completely professional environ- ment.
The environment is important. But more important is the man in this environment. For too long we have been emphasizing the pharmacy, the place of purchase and not the pharmacist who practices there. In some merchan- dising drug stores the pharmacist has achieved total anonymity. It would take several hours to work your way through a maze of garishly dressed gondolas just to find him. In a Pharmaceutical] Center the patient-pharmacist relationship is direct and firmly established. This rela- tionship depends upon personal, inter-
ested service and such adjuncts as the family record system — a readily avail- able, up-to-date record of the family’s pharmaceutical “history.” With the in- cidence of adverse reactions increasing and today’s specific and potent drugs, a pharmaceutical history can be equally as important as a medical history. The family health information center — authentic literature for free distribution — contributes to the patient-pharma- cist relationship also.
Other essential features include a well-stocked professional library and extensive reference files; a modified ap- proach to advertising, if any is used, emphasizing services; and the profes- sional fee system as the basis for re- muneration. A more sensible relation- ship develops between the pharmacist and the physicians and other health professionals that he serves — a rela- tionship based not upon dependence but upon mutual respect and confidence.
There are other characteristics of im- portance. To preserve and protect the integrity of this type of practice, own- ership must be limited exclusively to individual pharmacists or pharmacists associated in group practice. The rea- sons for this restriction are patently obvious. It is the key to the maintenance of the vitally necessary, personalized pharmacist-patient relationship. And to be truly effective, this must stand alone aS a separate entity. It would be ludicrous to expect that such a practice could be justifiably located in one clear- ed corner of an overstuffed department store.
We began this year with a base of scme twenty of these pharmacies then in existence. These practices had been established independently during the preceding four or five years. We are pleased today to answer critics of this program by explaining that we know of 12 new Pharmaceutical Centers that have been installed by McKesson and other suppliers and are now providing service. More important, we know of another 30 pharmacists who have de- cided to concentrate on professional
The Maryland Pharmacist
May 1966 601
practice. These 30 will establish their Pharmaceutical Centers during the next few months. Interest in the idea is ob- viously accelerating.
Those of you who use the Lilly Digest financial analysis service noted an in- teresting change in the 1964 Report. For the first time the Digest presented a special summary of “prescription oriented pharmacies.”’
The summary included all pharmacies with less than 1200 square feet of floor space whose prescription income ex- ceeded 50 percent of the total sales volume. If you have not seen this sum- mary I recommend it to you. The con- clusion reached is an obvious one. As prescription income percentage in- creased, so did both gross margin and total expenses. But the latter increased at a slower rate. Consequently the net profit was higher and the proprietor’s total income greater. Extend this rea- soning to the Pharmaceutical Center. The economic picture is brighter still.
These comments by H. P. Rhodes make the point. Mr. Rhodes was one of the first to be influenced by Gene White’s decision. He had a traditional drug store in Winchester, Virginia not far from Berryville where White prac- tices. After he converted to a Phar- maceutical Center he had this to say “First I eliminated four soda fountain girls and one front sales person. Right from the start that cut $10,000 from my overhead. Then my inventory was re- duced by $9000 the first year. Even with the elimination of most front mer- chandise, the fountain and _ lunch- eonette, my sales were nearly equal to the previous year and my net was more. This past year our prescription volume has increased 300% with the same over- head. Now our net profit is up 16.5% on the same volume.”
Each month in the APhA Journal we have been featuring a description of a new Pharmaceutical Center. This is worth your reading time. It is worth your careful consideration. And it could be of material worth to you also. Ob-
viously not everyone will succeed over- night if a conversion to a professional practice is made. But it can be done. This is an important point. We have the proof now and we are collecting evidence every week. Convincing phar- macists that they can make the change, however, is no simple task. The task is more difficult because there are those who continue to insist that pharmacists must be merchants. Not long ago I at- tended a national meeting that provided a platform for several speakers inter- ested in merchandising. One of these, a sundry supplier, attempted to make the point that only 14,500 stores could exist On prescriptions alone. This is nonsense. Another speaker on that same program, a cosmetic supplier described pharmacy by saying that ‘service is a by-product of this business.”’ He is wrong. Service is no by-product of the profession of pharmacy. It is the main and most important product. If we continue to emphasize the merchandise and not the man we have only ourselves to blame for increasingly competitive conditions.
Now consider the logical extensions of pharmaceutical service beyond the pharmacy. One of these that needs your attention is service to the nursing home. Estimates of the number of nursing homes now in existence vary consider- ably. A reasonable guess is that there are approximately 23,000 homes that provide some degree of care. AS you know, the new Medical Care for the Aged legislation will markedly effect nursing homes. The law will define ‘‘ex- tended care facilities” that will be eligi- ble for Federal money. Although the specific requirements of an extended care facility have not been published as yet it has been estimated that only 3,000 of the presently existing homes will qualify. Nursing home administra- tors need advice about many things. They need the kind of advice that you can provide. Pharmaceutical Service in nursing homes is important now and it will become more important. You have a professional obligation to offer your
602 May 1966
service and work with nursing home ad- ministrators in your community.
The American Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation, The American Society of Hos- pital Pharmacists and the American Nursing Home Association published this booklet several years ago. Victor Morgenroth was one of the men who contributed his time to its preparation. If you have not read it I urge you to do so. The APhA Academy of General Practice is now working on a program that includes a revision and updating of this booklet. We plan to include more “how to do it’ information.
The first annual meeting of the Academy will be held in Dallas, Texas during the week of April 25, 1966. On April 25 the Academy will present a workshop for community pharmacists that will explain new opportunities for pharmaceutical service in nursing homes. One feature of this program is a film strip and accompanying tape recording that is now in preparation. Workshop discussion leaders will de- scribe accurate and expert information on the subject. Part of this effort is the collection of recent experience data from community pharmacists who now serve nursing homes. 72 pharmacists in 31 states are cooperating with us in this survey. These forms were mailed to them a few weeks ago and the results are coming in now. Here is the type of information that this form is designed to collect.
One of the most dramatic features of this Academy program will be the introduction of a new model of the Pharmaceutical Center. This 1966 ver- sion of the Center has been designed to include several options for improved pharmaceutical service. One of these optional arrangements is a special lab- oratory area for pharmacists who will serve nursing homes and extended care facilities. Most of the pharmacists who visited the 1965 Pharmaceutical Center exhibit in Detroit said “You will never top this.’ We think we have. And we invite you to come to Dallas next April to decide for yourselves.
The Maryland Pharmacist
APhA Executive Director Apple had this to say at the recent ACA meeting in Florida about pharmaceutical service to nursing homes, “Selling a bottle of a thousand phenobarbital tablets, de- livery and credit included, is not our idea of providing service. Our recom- mendations to the U.S. Public Health Service provided for 7 basic standards in which 46 factors were assessed. Com- munity pharmacists must take the ini- tiative in establishing professional rela- tionships with hospitals, extended care facilities and nursing homes. Your ac- ceptance will be directly related to the professional know-how you have to of- fer. APhA will help, but you will have to invest time and effort to qualify.”
The Pharmaceutical Center is a real- ity, consider its place in professional service. The opportunity of complete pharmaceutical service to nursing homes is about to be realized. Consider this carefully, too. Naturally, there are those who would try to discourage your inter- est. Some people are suspicious of all new activity. Avoid the pessimist. Rich- ard Evans has said “Don’t let life dis- courage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.”

Lederle Laboratories Tour
By HERMAN M. KLING
A group of pharmacists and their wives visited Lederle Laboratories, at Pearl River, New York, on May 10, 1966. The Lederle complex consisted of 532 acres and 150 buildings housing about 7000 employees, all busily engaged in producing medicinals for the benefit both of man and animals.
In one of the many conference and lecture rooms an educational film was shown the group to orient them to the complexity of Lederle’s operations. The amazed audience was given an accom- panying talk by Lederle experts.
The group was split up into smaller units and each unit was assigned a hostess who escorted the group through ‘the maze of buildings and fa- cilities. Various buildings contained production lines, fermentation tanks, control laboratories and offices. Some buildings contained all sorts of test animals.
The animal building was especially interesting. Rows of live rabbits with electronic controls attached to them recorded temperatures. There were all kinds of charts, graphs and machines intelligible only to a trained worker. The experimental animals, such as mice, rabbits and guinea pigs, were housed in surgically clean surroundings and were given the best of care. There was pre- sented to the visitors a dramatic dem- onstration of the effects of tetanus, diphtheria and botulism innoculations.
The group reassembled in a lecture room and were given an interesting lec- ture on steroids and hormones. Lederle’s organic chemist gave a blackboard dem- onstration of the magic of modern chemistry. A few changes here and a few changes there on organic chemi- cal formulas produce miracle drugs.
After lunch the guests were brought back to the laboratories and shown the
meticulous care used in testing medi- cinals. Every piece of complex ma- chinery impressed the gathering as they observed capsules being filled and bot- tles filled and labeled. One ingenious machine filled capsules with dry powders. White-gloved inspectors were everywhere checking on the machines’ productions. Each special plant visited had illuminated and animated diagrams giving an interesting account of the production of pharmaceuticals produced in the building.
After the tours of the buildings were made, and there were so many and so far apart that buses were used, the group gathered in a lecture room. There a panel of three experts, consisting of Mr. Ruffing, Guest Relations Moderator; Dr. Leeson of Product Development; and Dr. Butessky of Pharmaceutical Process Improvement, answered the visitors’ questions. Communication was established with other departments to obtain information when necessary. Every effort was made to enlighten the pharmacists present.
The visitors learned that it takes a team of experts using great skills to produce today’s modern pharmaceuti- cals and that first quality medicinals are costly. It was demonstrated that “all that glitters is not gold”, and it was seen that for every success there are many failures, but research is a must and the everlasting search goes on for better and better medicines.
Ethical manufacturers are extremely jealous of their good names and rep- utations and always seek the goodwill of the public, the pharmaceutical and medical professions. There is a differ- ence in drugs of the same chemical structure. The difference is unseen, built-in quality, and this costs a few cents more. If you could see the great care taken in producing these quality

pharmaceuticals, you would readily ap- preciate what a good name means.
Lederle Laboratories proved to the group from Maryland that the Ameri- can system of free enterprise has pro- duced for the United States and the whole world the best medicinals for man and animal.

Maryland Association of Hospital Pharmacists
The monthly meeting of the Mary- land Association of Hospital Pharma- cists was held on May 12, 1966, at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Towson, Maryland. The meeting consisted of a sit-down dinner at 7 P.M., followed by the busi- ness meeting. Dr. Peter Lamy, As- sistant Professor of Pharmacy at the University of Maryland School of Phar- macy was the featured speaker, dis- cussing “Particle Size’.
Sponsoring the evening’s activities was Muth Brothers, wholesale drug- gists of Baltimore. This was the last regular meeting of the Association until September.
A trip to Pfizer’s facilities in Groton, Connecticut, June 15-17, has been ar- ranged.

Noxzema Chemical Name Now Noxell Corporation
The stockholders of Noxzema Chemi- cal Company voted to change the corporate name to “NOXELL Corpo- ration’. The change was made at a special meeting held at the Baltimore offices Tuesday, May 24th. The new name will be implemented generally as quickly as is practical.
G. Lloyd Bunting, Chairman of the Board, and N. A. Witt, President, indi- cated the change would be beneficial to the long range plans of the com- pany. Because “Noxzema Skin Cream” and “Noxzema Shave Products” have been advertised so aggressively for many years the name “Noxzema” has become a household word. The very strength of the word with the consuming public, and its dominant medicated connota- tion, have developed restrictive factors in corporate new product development. Much research has been involved and the wisdom of the move will undoubted- ly prove itself, particularly in con- junction with aggressive plans to market other than medicated products.
It was emphasized that management has no idea of dropping the name “Noxzema” except as a corporate title. The famous name of “Noxzema Skin Cream” will remain the same as it has been on all packages and dress ma- terials, and shall be advertised as such. The complete line of Shave Products, which include Noxzema Instant Lather, Regular and Menthol, and Noxzema Medicated Brushless and Lather Shave will all continue to carry the name “Noxzema”. With regard to the cos- metic division of the Company, Cover Girl Pressed Powder, Cover Girl Liquid and Tube Make-Ups, and Cover Girl Lipsticks will all continue to be iden- tified as “Cover Girl’ products, as they have in the past.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Every practicing pharmacist should feel that the destiny of pharmacy rests upon his own shoulders.
He spends thousands of dollars and years of study and training to learn the skills of his profession and attain registration. Only then can he spend tens of thousands of dollars to open a pharmacy in which to practice. After this tremendous investment in time and money, why does he stand idly by and let a few people direct his profession and his investment? Every pharmacist owes it to himself to take some active part in his local organization.
I am not trying to sell membership. I am trying to sell Active membership. I would like to see men who have been members for many years begin now to take part in the actual running of the organization. There are many approaches to the problems confronting us. Your approach may be the correct solution. Why not share it with us? Working on a committee, like virtue, is its own reward. You have the satisfaction of a job done to your specifications and a better profession and a better business.
Join the B.M.P.A. workers now!! We need each other.
Sincerely,
(eet Sea

Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association News
William E. Woods, Associate Wash- ington Counsel of the National Associ- ation of Retail Druggists, was the featured speaker of the meeting of the BMPA on May 26, 1966. Speaking on the subject of ‘“The Future of Pharmacy Under Medicare’, Mr. Woods presented detailed information on the various aspects of the Social Security Amend- ments of 1965.
Mr. Woods emphasized the great im- pact Title 19 will have for community pharmacists. The complete text of his presentation will be printed in a future issue of The Maryland Pharmacist.
Members of the B.M.P.A. have been furnished copies of the Baltimore Metropolitan Apartment Guide for free distribution to their patrons. Publicity is directing the public to neighborhood pharmacies for free copies.
A full page message on the back cover states “YOUR PHARMACIST WORKS FOR BETTER COMMUNITY HEALTH”. “For your health and beauty needs: Visit your community Pharma-
cist—Member of BMPA—Your Neigh-
borhood Pharmacist May Save Your Life—Ready to serve you 7 days a week”.
All members are requested to dis- play and distribute the guide. The
project was arranged by the BMPA Public Information Committee, Anthony
G. Padussis, Chairman.
Pharmacists in Baltimore may soon be installing BUZZ - YOUR - BROTHER alarm units to speed the capture of criminals who prey on pharmacies.
The device was recently demonstrated for officers and members of the Balti- more Metropolitan Pharmaceutical As- sociation by a trade relations represen- tative from Menley & James Labora- tories, who was invited to make the presentation at a meeting on April 7th.
MenJ created the BUZZ-YOUR- BROTHER concept of mutual defense and alarm system as a service to phar- macy. The company will not receive one penny of income or profit from the system.
All rights and responsibilities asso- ciated with the manufacture and sale of BUZZ-YOUR-BROTHER have been turned over to the Pinkerton Electro- Security Company, a division of the fa- mous Pinkerton’s, Inc. Pinkerton de- veloped the system in cooperation with MenJ.
Because of MenJ’s role in creating BUZZ-YOUR-BROTHER and introduc- ing it to pharmacy, Pinkerton is offer- ing the system to pharmacists at a special price for a limited time.
Pinkerton has also agreed to place a percentage of all sales into a special fund which will provide rewards and citations to policemen who capture per- sons involved in pharmacy crimes.

Allegany-Garrett Counties Pharmaceutical Association
“DOCTORS NIGHT" May 25, 1966
The Allegany-Garrett Counties Phar- maceutical Association was the host for a dinner meeting with the Allegany County Medical Association. This meet- ing was held at the Ali Ghan Shrine Country Club, May 25th. There were fifty-eight members of the health pro- fessions for dinner and more arrived later for the main speaker. This pro- vided an excellent representation of pharmacists and physicians.
Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr. of Baltimore, President of the Maryland Pharmaceu- tical Association was our guest, rep- resenting the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association. He spoke of the activities and progress being made in the health professions. He also emphasized what still must be done to keep our standards high.
The main speaker for the evening was Walter Statham, Assistant Regional Rep- resentative, Health Insurance Division, Social Security Administration, Char- lottesville Office. He presented the cold hard facts of Medicare to a very inter- ested audience and was well prepared because of his experience in the de- velopment of the mechanics of Medi- care.
Although the facts were quite infor- mative, they were not complete enough for the many physicians in attendance. Mr. Statham was questioned at great length from every corner of the now full meeting room. Many of the ques- tions were in regard to the part played by Blue Cross and Blue Shield in han- dling the middleman role between the physicians and the Health Insurance Department of Social Security. This question was answered with the reply that it would be much the same as
Blue Cross and Blue Shield handles the cases now. However, there was some questions whether the government agency would allow an intermediary the freedom it enjoys with their regular program of medical insurance. As there was no way of finding an answer to this question, the feeling of those present was that the profession could do noth- ing but wait and see.
Mr. Statham answered each question as tactfully and intelligently as the provisions of Medicare could be pres- ented. After over an hour of strong questioning this last question was asked. How much training have you had speak- ing and answering questions about Medicare? His answer was. simply stated, ‘“Not nearly enough.”

Medicare and Pharmacy Goals and Responsibilities
We all must recognize by now that governmental health care programs will assume a greater and greater role in the total health programs of the nation. Today, for many pharmacists, state medical care programs patients already con- stitute a significant or even major proportion of their pharmacies’ clientele.
The profession of pharmacy in Maryland, as represented by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, is committed to the position that all medical care patients should have free choice of pharcacist. So far we have had the cooperation of the officials concerned in implementing such a policy.
In the meantime all pharmacists must establish and carry out policies in their prescription practices that demonstrate the contribution of community pharacies to public health and welfare. Personalized service to public beneficiaries indicate such a concern.
Officials and administrative personnel processing medical care prescriptions quickly determine which pharmacists are cooperative and carry out both the spirit and letter of medical care regulations. Fortunately the majority of pharmacists are in this category.
The pharmacist when called upon to exercise professional judgment in dispens- ing drugs where the brand or manufacturer’s name is not specified must be guided primarily by pharmaceutical and therapeutic considerations. He can expedite the processing of prescriptions by submitting his bills for prescriptions weekly and making sure that all information is included.
As all establishments which are licensed as “pharmacies” are operated to pro- vide pharmaceutical services to all segments of the public, the display of signs indicating that ‘medical care,” “medicare” or “MAA” prescriptions are filled does not promote the professional status or image of pharmacy.
When major administrative changes are made or programs enlarged, delays in processing will occur. New procedures must be ironed out and additional personnel hired and trained. Contacts with officials should, of course, be conducted so as to maintain cordial relations as it will be necessary for a pharmacy-government partnership to be maintained for a long time to come.
Through the work of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, tremendous progress has been made in the past few years in connection with governmental pharmaceutical services such as medical care and MAA. With the never-ending, ever-expanding governmental programs unfolding, the MPA has assigned the highest priority to governmental pharmacy activities. With the cooperation and support of all in pharmacy, the ‘state professional pharmaceutical society will continue to dis- charge this critical responsibility.

President’s Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
My year as the titular head of the Pharmacists of Maryland has drawn to a close and I feel honored and privileged to have served you. The goals which I felt should be primary were, first, that a prepaid prescription insurance plan should be uppermost in our aims. Second, I said an honorable, non-subsidizing program should be developed with the governmental agencies in line with our obligation of giving proper pharmaceutical health care to our needy citizens.
In discussing prepaid prescriptions, I can honestly report to you that more time was devoted to this problem than any other during the past year. The con- sensus of opinion after much deliberation was that the Association should not dash into this plan without exploring other avenues to achieve our goal.
Our next and equally important goal for Maryland Pharmacy has been the securing of more equitable compensation in the dispensing of Medical care and MAA prescriptions. Many can look back into the not too distant past when our fees were as low as 50 cents and we were dickering about a 5 cent container fee. Today the $1.00 and $2.00 fee is in effect and every pharmacist in Maryland is indebted to the MPA for this progress in receiving proper remuneration. Progress is being made in establishing one fee of $1.50.
I shall now turn to the Legislative Program of our Association and again urge your support in 1967 for the program which failed in 1966.
I cannot honestly find any justification for a few members of our own Associa- tion to openly oppose the bills that were introduced in 1966, yet such was the case.
Your Executive Committee has instructed Secretary Gruz to present these bills to the Legislative Council for introduction into the 1967 legislature.
I feel it is the duty of Maryland Pharmacists to see that this bill is enacted. There has been an undercurrent created by a very small minority of pharmacists. I should like to point out that our 1966 legislative program was sent to Annapolis with the unanimous approval of the Eastern Shore Pharmaceutical Society, the Allegany-Garrett County Pharmaceutical Association, the Prince-Georges Mont- gomery County Pharmaceutical Association, the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion and a solid majority vote of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation. This would indicate to me overwhelming approval of the program.
It seemed to me that our profession and all other professions do not meet the criteria of accepting responsibility. To see ourselves, we must see others. Have we not been selfish? Have we not thought first of pharmacy and then of society? I think some of us have and I feel this must be reversed. In this new emerging pat- tern of health care, we must see the needs of society, and new interests in health will no doubt place greater demands upon us. The era of professional isolation is Over.
Sincerely,
The Maryland Pharmacist June 1966

A Message from the Executive Secretary
Health Information Centers
How can pharmacies stand out? By identification as a source of health in- formation. The MPA has Health Educa- tion Center racks available at the nomi- nal charge of $15.00. Now is the time to make each pharmacy a “Medicare In- formation Center” as well by placing pamphlets from Social Security in the rack.
The NARD has cooperated with the Social Security Administration in mak- ing phamphlets available entitled, “The Pharmacist Speaks to His Customers about Medicare.” The NARD also dis- tributed a useful Medicare Information chart.
A pamphlet entitled “Social Security Amendments of 1965—A Brief Explana- tion” was mailed by the A.Ph.A. to its members. Contact the MPA office if you did not receive a copy and wish to have one.
In addition, it is important for all pharmacists to get and read “Health In- surance Under Social Security — Your Medicare Handbook,’ which is also available to MPA members.
NARD Convention Oct. 23-27, 1966
All pharmacists are urged to attend the 68th Annual Convention of the Na- tional Association of Retail Druggists October 23-27 in St. Louis.
The current status of the Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965, Medicare, Medicaid, competitive marketing trends, political, professional and social develop- ments affecting the practice of retail pharmacy for the next decade will be re- viewed by nationally recognized authori- ties.
Donald O. Fedder, member of the MPA Executive Committee and Vice-President of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharma- ceutical Association, will participate in a panel program entitled, “Opportuni- ties in Convalescent Patient Care.”
Proprietors and managers of com- munity pharmacies can learn a great deal from this program and should make every effort to attend the NARD Con- vention.

Christmas Planning
Becoming Christmas conscious during October may be a task for the average Pharmacist. Yet, he must plan early if he expects to be prepared for the rush that will soon be here.
Orders for gift items, placed in advance, insure for bet- ter delivery and gives him more time to plan and pro- mote items.
Do not wait until the ''Out-of-Stock'"’ cry goes out before ordering. If one does, he will lose many sales, profits and customers.
The earlier the pharmacist can get ready for Christmas shoppers, the earlier he can begin to make many Christmas sales.

Outside Force Shaping Future
Excerpts of Presidential Address
LINWOOD F. TICE President, American Pharmaceutical Association
“Tt must be clearly evident to every thinking person in pharmacy, as well as in every other health profession, that a superior force from without is doing more to shape our future than that re- siding in ourselves,” President Linwood F. Tice told the annual banquet audi- ence after his installation as President of the American Pharmaceutical Associ- ation at its 113th Annual Meeting.
“This force is the firm intention of the American people to place excellent health care in the same category as food, shelter, and clothing, and not as a spe- cial privilege or luxury for the few who can afford it. The recent actions by the legislative and executive branches of our government stem from this desire and intent on the part of the public.
“Such legislation is not the source but the expression of this public de- mand. If we believe in democracy in ac- tion, the Congress had and has no choice but to respond to what has become a clear mandate from the American people.
“Under this mandate, it becomes our clear duty as a health profession not to oppose and delay the implementation of health legislation but to do our sin- cere best to integrate our professional services so as to best accomplish the legislative intent and serve the needs of our people. While no group can operate completely divorced from eco- nomic self-interest, a health profession —if it hopes to maintain its profes- sional status and image—cannot put selfinterest above public welfare.
“We must avoid this pitfall at all costs in spite of all reactionary opin- ion to the contrary. Many of our worst defeats, and those of other health pro- fessions in the past, have stemmed from this error.
“AS one senses and explores the di- rection that health care, both public and private, is taking in this country, it becomes obvious that many long established professional ‘ways of life’ must be subjected to what will and must become an ‘agonizing reapprai- sal.’ Pharmacy is not alone in this; medicine, too, has its problems. Even the drug industry, the envy of the civil- ized world, seems destined to be, and indeed is being, shaken by forces stem- ming from this same public unrest and our government’s response to it. These things are traumatic and, in some in- stances, they may even be unfair, but expressions of pain and displeasure will not in the end contain the problem which is presented to us all.
“The most immediate and pressing problem confronting the profession of pharmacy is its well-known ambiva- lence—business or profession. The time is rapidly approaching when we must choose one or the other. While I know it to be an unpopular statement phar- macy in a sense has been a ‘captive’ profession so well proselyted and in- doctrinated that most of its inmates were quite content.
“This indoctrination often began in our colleges, and in fact, it still is at- tempted in some. It is intensified and reinforced by those pharmacists who willingly permit commercialization of the rankest sort to prostitute their pro- fessional calling. It is not surprising that this has encouraged the partial pub- lic acceptance of mail order prescrip- tions and discount house operations for drugs, and to think of pharmaceutical service as the simple sale of a com- modity.
“Here, again, the radical changes which lie before us will occur not be- cause we initiate them but because of
Pharmacist
The Maryland
reaction to outside forces. With the tremendous upgrading in total health care quantitatively and qualitatively now in the planning stage, such phar- macies—if they can so be called—will lose public interest and support. It is imperative, however, if we as pharma- cists are to fill the important place ready and waiting for us in the health care picture, that we build on the solid bedrock of professionalism.
“We must in our every daily act put the patient’s welfare above our own self-interest and perform accordingly. Pharmacists must become patient ori- ented and not product and sales ori- ented, aS in the past. We must, further- more, divorce ourselves from the cost of commodities in establishing fair com- pensation for our professional services.
“We must be prepared and willing to refuse to be a party in the distribu- tion of drug products not in the pa- tient’s interest even though it may be legal to do so, and not rely on the specious argument that, if we do not sell such products, someone else will.”

Identifying Our Customer-The Pharmacist
The Pharmacist and his Wholesaler have a Mutual Responsibility and Interdependency
JAMES E. ALLEN, President The Henry B. Gilpin Company
Presented at the session on “Aids to Professional Practice” of the Academy of General Practice, American Pharmaceutical Association, Annual Convention,
April 27, 1966, Dallas, Texas.
There is one valid definition of my firm’s business purpose . . . to create a profitable customer. Customers are peo- ple first, and then they are buyers and payers of invoices. The wholesaler’s profit incentive makes him everlastingly conscious of these basic considerations. The wholesale druggist does not serve patients or consumers directly. He op- erates in the background and is virtually unknown to the public at large. His customer is a professional ...a grad- uate pharmacist, educated, trained, and licensed to administer a professional service to those in his community.
We are a heavy duty supply house of drugs and health care products and rely on pharmacists for the extension of our productivity. Our growth is tied to the survival and success of the in- dividual pharmacist, his enterprise, and adaptability in the face of new compe- tition and changing conditions. With us, to create a customer means to create a climate . . an opportunity ...a service—and to make certain that to- morrow’s pharmacist will be a full time, independent, and successful health pro- fessional. We serve pharmacists who own and operate traditional neighbor- hood service drugstores, drugstores in big regional shopping centers, the hos- pital pharmacy, and the prestige profes- sional pharmacy .. . big customers now and growing bigger.
We see an opportunity for us to help professionally minded pharmacists to find suitable locations and back them up with bankable leases, equipment, in-
ventory, design, financing, and special
services so that they can concentrate on their basic function in an economi- cally sound and professional facility. Currently, we serve five APhA Phar- maceutical Centers. They are good cus- tomers of ours and we have enough in-
formation on three of them to know
that they are enjoying economic suc-
cess. Slowly, but surely, we are begin-
ning to learn some of the great new
opportunities for pharmacists.

chairs, walkers and crutches. Also, Medicare regulations require a nursing home to either employ a registered pharmacist full time or make arrange- ments to obtain drug supplies from a community pharmacy.
Medicare regulations and new state regulations will expand the role of the pharmacist and add to his professional responsibility. We are taking a hard look at our customer—the pharmacist— and making a market study of him. The pharmacist can be more valuable to us by investing more wisely the capi- tal he possesses . . his professional qualifications and his financial re- sources,
We put to use the economies inherent in preplanning, time and motion studies, design, computerized installation of in- ventories, profitable use of atmosphere and decor, and, most important of all, we guide young pharmacists into phar- macies which they own and administer themselves . . and they can do it most of the time with that mother-in- law’s loan.
The APhA-Gilpin Pharmaceutical Center is based on time, space, and professional principles as established by the APhA Code of Ethics and sound economics. The APhA-Gilpin Pharma- ceutical Center is a complete package with fixtures, cabinetry, inventory, equipment, and a system for announce- ments and direct mail communication with physicians, nurses, nursing homes, and patrons.
. We offer two basic floor plans with several choices of interior and ex- terior design . . - Provincial, Con- temporary, and Colonial.
. We feature a variety of different textured wall material, interestingly blended with wood paneling . some with natural stone setting and brick accent areas ... a botanical garden for living and blossoming medicinal plants - .. and carpeting is used throughout.
. The prescription
laboratory has been designed to increase the efficiency of compounding and dis- pensing, providing a unique car- rousel arrangement to stock regu- larly used products conveniently near the prescription counter.
. The APhA-Gilpin Pharmaceutical
Center emphasizes the _ essential characteristics of the original plan introduced by the Association in 1965. Included are the family record system, health education center, the absence of displayed products, and the recommended use of the fee method to determine charges.
. The 1,500 square foot plan includes
a sterile area for preparation of ophthalmic medication, as well as additional service departments... physicians’ lounge and library . - office and _ suppliers’ conference room... fitting room .. . nursing home supply laboratory.
. A combination lounge and library
for physicians and other health spe- cialists, productively used by the pharmacist to describe the merit of the fee system and other pro- fessional services.
. The pharmacist’s office, adjacent
to the laboratory, has been designed to provide maximum convenience for conferences with supplier rep- resentatives, recognizing the im- portant role of the salesman and his value to the pharmacist. Special consideration is given to encourag- ing the salesman to avoid inappro- priate interruption, while at the same time making certain that the time and place is provided for good communication, inventory control, and product demonstration.
.. In installations occupying less than
1,000 square feet, the office will serve as a fitting room for surgi- cal garments and orthopedic sup- ports.
. The convalescent aids and appli-
ances department has been specially designed behind a door which opens
The Maryland Pharmacist
for convenient selection of a wheel- chair or any one of the many health care products.
. We have designed a_ specially equipped nursing home department which includes a_ prescription counter for dispensing and com- pounding, with adequate shelving for hampers and baskets for deliv- ery to nursing homes. These fa- cilities are especially equipped and stocked to serve as an off-the-prem- ises pharmacy for nursing homes.
. The Pharmaceutical Center serves as if it were located on the first floor of a nursing home, and de- livers via truck in place of an ele- vator.
Special emphasis is devoted toward influencing nursing home administra- tors to recognize their responsibility for proper pharmacy service, emphasizing the pharmacist as the only individual who is qualified by law to perform the functions necessary for adequate and safe health care. We make our talent and resources available to the pharma- cist for promotion by designing appro- priate messages that will compliment the administrator, recognizing his re- sponsibilities to provide medical care for the residents of the home, and re- lating this philosophy directly to the professional role of the pharmacist. We help the administrator understand the difference between dispensing and ad- ministering medications ... that the act of dispensing in most states is con- sidered the sole legal perogative of a pharmacist or the physician. We help the pharmacist of the APhA-Gilpin Pharmaceutical Center arrange a visit for the nursing home administrator and his staff to the nursing home labora- tory and medical supply service facility
- available in the pharmacy as a separate department of the nursing home itself. We make it obvious that the APhA-Gilpin Pharmaceutical Cen- ter is specializing in nursing home serv- ice. Many administrators are not cog- nizant of the necessity for good phar-

maceutical service. In most instances they do not recognize what constitutes good service. We have found that by in- viting them and taking them on tour through the APhA-Gilpin Pharmaceu- tical Center they are most enthusiastic and responsive.
As wholesale druggists, it is usually uneconomical for us to serve a nursing home direct. Yet, nursing homes use the products we distribute. We are en- trepreneurs and the profit incentive keeps us alert and imaginative. The art and science of persuasion is a very specific phase of our marketing func- tion. We are full service wholesalers be- cause it is good business to make avail- able to our customers methods and pro- cedures drawn from industrial man- agement techniques. We are deeply con- cerned with statistics pointing to economic problems of pharmacists op- erating small promotional drugstores in diminishing traffic areas with economic difficulties. Many of these are our good Gilpin customers. During the past few weeks, we have received several tele- phone calls and letters inviting us to help some of these pharmacists convert to a Pharmaceutical Center. We have followed through and made site evalu- ations and careful studies to appraise the economical potential. Several of these have passed the test and are being con- verted. And we see a new lease on life for these most valued customers of ours.
The pharmacist and his wholesaler have a mutual responsibility and inter- dependency. While many pharmacists want to own and operate big promo- tional drugstores, and we are fully equipped to help them do it, we have found through our relationship with pharmacists that nearly every one of them possesses a basic dream to prac- tice pharmacy in an atmosphere where his essential training and knowledge are fully recognized .. . where he can sustain respect and dignity. The APhA- Gilpin Pharmaceutical Center is a gen- uine opportunity for us to help these pharmacists achieve this dream.

The Maryland Pharmacist
When young graduates in pharmacy come to our office with a gleam in their eyes, eager to own their own pharmacy, and say, “I think I can get together $5,000 and a little bit more from my family ...do you think I can open my own pharmacy?” ... it is always one of the most difficult questions for us to answer. But I can tell you this. We have taken a hard look at many loca- tions, many old stores, many shopping centers, many medical buildings... all through the years of our experience in this business. We have responded to our opportunity and our responsibility to provide financial guidance economic appraisals, and it is not al- ways possible for us to come up with a satisfying answer. But one of the most rewarding new events we have seen for a long while is the APhA inspired and designed Pharmaceutical Center. Our firm proudly presents this idea to our customers, with appreciation and re- spect for the certification that has been granted our firm, making the Gilpin Pharmaceutical Center an officially ap- proved design: Many of our young phar- macist friends are wealthy with per- sonal talent and professional training, qualified and registered to practice. But they are short on cash. Even so, they want to own their own pharmacy and control their destiny. They are pleased to find the opportunity to do this with- out the need to finance diversified in- ventories, space, and departments, and to find the way and the means to apply their professional knowledge and skill and effectively compete.
On May 6, 1962, our firm dedicated our headquarters offices and Washing- ton building to the pharmacists of America and attached a bronze plaque inscribed ‘In recognition of the essen- tial service Pharmacists render to the health care needs of people everywhere, we respectfully dedicate this building to the Pharmacists of America aS an ex- pression of our appreciation and esteem for the profession.” On that date, Dr.
and:
William S. Apple addressed the hun- dreds of Gilpin customers and friends who attended our opening ceremony: Dr. Apple said then, ‘The Gilpin Com- pany has achieved an honored place among the pharmaceutical wholesalers of America. This group renders a com- prehensive social and economic service by serving as the link between the pharmaceutical manufacturer and the pharmacy. Because of your work, the wonders of science and medicine are immediately available through profes- sional channels to every Man, woman, and child in this area.”
We have not taken this statement lightly. We believe in striving for su- periority and encouraging and material- ly aiding individual effort. For many of the pharmacists we serve, the Phar- maceutical Center is a progressive step in this direction.

National Council State Pharmaceutical
Association Executives
"The Relationship Between Metropolitan’ And State Pharmaceutical Associations”
A panel presentation was held on this subject at a joint meeting of the National Council of State Pharmaceu- tical Association Executives and the Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Secre- taries held in conjunction with the An- nual Convention of the American Phar- maceutical Association. Panelists were: Morris E. Blatman, Executive Secretary, Philadelphia Association Retail Drug- gists; Nicholas Gesoalde, Executive Sec- retary, New York Pharmaceutical As- sociation; E. Ronald Shewfelt, Secre- tary, Northern California Pharmaceu- tical Association; Richard S. Strom- men, Executive Director, Illinois Phar- maceutical Association.
The moderator of the program was Nathan I. Gruz, Executive Secretary of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion and Secretary of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Associ- ation.
The following is the address of Nich- olas S. Gesoalde, “Dean” of the State Secretaries:
As I sat down to prepare my remarks for this program, I once again came to the realization that New York State is sort of in a class by itself. I don’t say this with any sense of bravado, but simply to point out that the benefits and problems of association relation- ships will probably be slightly different from my state as compared to most other states.
Let me give you a few statistics from which a factual background will be drawn. My figures are rounded-off for purposes of this talk. I say this so I will not have to use the word “Ap- proximate” every time I give a statistic.
There are 5,800 pharmacies in New York state. These are distributed throughout 61 counties. Our state is both rural and metropolitan. Some few counties have only two or three phar- macies. Five counties—the counties making up New York City—have about half of these 5,800 pharmacies. Spe- cifically, 450 pharmacies in the Bronx: 900 in Brooklyn (Kings County); 775 in New York County (Manhattan); 700 in Queens and 75 in Richmond County (Staten Island).
Except for a few very sparsely popu- lated counties, all of the pharmacists in New York are organized in county or multiple-county organizations. All to- gether, there are 48 local associations in New York state, all of which are af- filiated with the state society. Before you start wondering, this affiliation, of itself, does not include dues affiliation. That is another item that I will get to in a moment.
Enough statistics for now. Let me move to some observations, principles and opinions.
I firmly believe in strong county, state and national pharmaceutical or- ganizations: Unlike being in favor of motherhood or against sin, this prin- ciple does mean something. I do not believe in emasculating any of the three categories of organization. Each in its sphere has a highly important job to do, and should not be interferred with in performing that job.
Certainly, conflicts will arise. They will arise between state and national associations. They will arise between local and state associations. How should they be resolved? In principle, I be- lieve that organizational problems are
The Maryland Pharmacist
best resolved where there is recogni- tion of the basic unit of this nation— the state—balanced against the increas- ing importance of federal regulation and the always existing importance of the grass-roots county organization.
Let me delve into this a bit more deeply, for the understanding of the resolution of such conflicts—or avoid- ing their cropping up—is really the key to the subject matter before us today.
At our inception, this nation was a community of sovereign and indepen- dent countries. Thirteen countries gave up certain rights to a Federal Govern- ment and retained others: Among the rights retained were the police powers— the powers to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Under these police powers, pharmacy was, and continues to be regulated. Licensing of the phar- macist is by the state. Registration of the pharmacy is by the state. With those two basic functions in the hands of the state, it is no wonder that state associations came into being. From those two basic state functions, others have derived—from education to public as- sistance, with all stops in between. However, the basic unit of regulation is the state, and thus, the basic unit of organization is and must be the state.
I will not go into detail regarding the importance of national associations. As federal control and regulation over pharmacy increases, the importance of our national organizations increases. State associations look to national or- ganizations for guidance and assistance on federal matters, with our national organizations needing and seeking state help in the actual implementation of many, if not most programs and activi- ties. This inter-dependence can and does work well to help both associations and the profession. Should any state en- deavor to usurp the prerogatives of a national society, that state should be slapped down immediately. The reverse is also true, should any national asso- ciation endeavor to interfere with an intrastate matter.
June 1966 639
Let me now turn to county organiza- tions and get to the real meat of the problem. To function effectively and well, a state association—at least, that is, a state of any size—must have func- tioning-and active county associations. In the areas-of legislation, welfare and public assistance, public relations and education, gathering and disseminat- ing information, development of Officer material, and the whole range of or- ganizational activities, action at the local level is essential to success.
Please note clearly that I fully rec- ognize the importance—the absolute necessity—for strong and active local county organization.
But note also that I speak in terms of county organization and not metro- politan organization, district organiza- tion, sectional organization or city or- ganization. Each county is the grass roots level of major importance, and anything between the county and state levels is unnecessary.
This is not to say that coordinated effort on metropolitan, city or sec- tional problems may not be necessary for some problems. Specific situations of mutual concern may call for such co- ordination. For example, in the city of New York, there are a number of func- tions of importance to pharmacy that over-ride county borders of the indi- vidual boroughs. These include welfare, city health department, union matters and a few more. To coordinate borough efforts to solve these city-wide prob- lems—with or without the help of the state society, depending upon the prob- lem ... usually with the help of the state society because this same problem may occur elsewhere in the state ... is commendable, proper and necessary:
But it is here that we must be care- ful. When a multiple-county coordinated effort endeavors to take precedence over the counties themselves or over state- wide organization, this is not proper... this is the tail trying to wag the dog.
You will note that my remarks ob- viously have specific reference to the
640 June 1966
five-county situation that exists in New York City. However, they would have equal application to any sectional or regional situation that may exist in the nation. A city that is co-extensive with its county raises only a slightly different picture, for there the multiple county problem and interference with indi- vidual counties is absent. The tail wag- ging the dog problem, however, is still present in that situation if it gets out of hand.
Every area of a state has the right— it has the responsibility—to effectively organize to meet problems that it may have or to carry out a program that requires area participation. However, there must be care taken that the sphere of influence of that organization does not try to creep outside its geographical bounds, nor outside of its program bounds.
Further, regardless of whether a lo- cal organization is of one county, mul- tiple counties, sections, metropolitan areas or what have you, the state so- ciety must be permitted to take the leadership in all state-wide matters.
Iam sorry to say that there are those in pharmacy who do not recognize the principles I have just enunciated—or who do recognize them but refuse to fol- low them. If any state association would seek to work outside the A.Ph.A. or the N.A.R.D- on a national matter, that state deserves the condemnation of organized pharmacy. If any sectional, metropolitan city or county organiza- tion endeavors to act upon a problem that affects a single pharmacist out- side of its borders or acts within its borders in a manner that interferes with the workings of the state society, that local organization deserves condem- nation.
I have phrased most of my remarks in dark language, because I feel very strongly on this subject. The situation, of course, is generally not as black as my remarks might make it seem, and even in those instances where the con-
The Maryland Pharmacist
flict arises, understanding and states- manship have usually solved the situ- ation.
One of the strongest methods for de- veloping the ties of coordination im- portant to the proper local-state re- lationship, in my opinion, is the one- dues reciprocal membership program. In those associations with which the pharmaceutical society of the state of New York has such arrangements—15 at present, representing every size and locality of branch association—mutual respect, give and take, cooperative pro- grams and activities and coordinated drives have developed to the extent that both the local organization and the state society greatly benefit. More im- portant, our mutual members benefit- It is my hope that one day we may see
complete county-state-national inte- gration of dues. In summary, therefore ... I believe
that the basic unit of pharmaceutical organization is the state association. The metropolitan pharmaceutical or- ganization—or any local association— must, if conflict or doubt exists, defer to state-wide necessity. No metropolitan organization can be permitted to take precedence over the state organization. One spoke cannot be permitted to run the wheel .- . if it does, the wheel goes off course. Finally cooperation, coordi- nation and mutuality of action must be the key to a proper state-local re- lationship. —o—

TAMPA MEETINGS
TAMPA honored the ladies as is their custom each spring by holding a special luncheon meeting on Saturday, May 7, 1966. Locale was the popular Emerald Gardens where the format of a social hour, a delectable meal, and entertain- ment that was enlightening and informa- tive contributed to a pleasant and mem- orable ocasion. There is still a very live- ly debate ensuing as to whether the colorful table decorations were a match for our charming ladies in their spring finery. My vote goes to the ladies.
We were fortunate in having the popu- lar panel from WFBR’s Conference Call as guests. They were Harry Shriver, pro- gram director; Ken Malath, news anal- yst; and Lou Korbin, news director. Ted Beinert, the fourth member, was ex- cused for the very good reason that he was going to be married in a few days. The panel very capably answered ques- tions and rendered opinions on such subjects as: the parallel Bay Bridge, Mayor McKeldin’s handling of the teacher’s anticipated strike, the need for increased taxes and police department unionization.
TAMPA president, Herman Bloom, was most emphatic in praising LAMPA’s Ann
Crane who was responsible for obtaining
this outstanding panel to do a live Con- |
ference Call program for us. This is just another in a long string of many suc- cessful endeavors by Ann. We extend our thanks, too.
The annual pre-season convention TAMPA luncheon meeting was held on Saturday, June 4, at the Penn Hotel in Towson. Guests attending were Al Ogrinz, President of MPA, Morris Yaffe, Vice President of MPA, and Nathan
Gruz, Executive Secretary of MPA and
BMPA.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Medicare spells unprecendented opportunity for the many millions who will be enjoying its benefits and for the pharmacies prepared to serve them best. It is important that you make your pharmacy the prime source in your area for all con- valescent aid products. You are the most logical source for such purchases and rentals. You know the physicians and the families, you provide their other health needs and you are the most convenient, reliable source.
Your Association is working on another public relation program to bring to the attention of the public the value of their friend and neighbor—the Independent Pharmacist. We are actively engaged in your behalf and your cooperation is re- quested to aid us in our common fight for survival.
All members of the BMPA are being sent two bumper stickers with the slogan “Your Neighborhood Pharmacist May Save Your Life—Buy At Your Neighborhood Pharmacy.” Place these on the bumper or rear window of your car. The message will be seen by thousands of people. Remember—The Store You Save May Be Your Own.
Sincerely,
Ghee A Sea
President

Design of better drugs based on biochemical differences in viruses, bac- teria, and man were discussed in an all-day symposium at the American Chemical Society’s 149th national meet- ing in Detroit.

How often do you see your MSD pro- fessional representative?
Every time you see a prescription for an MSD product.
He never wnites a prescription... but he’s one reason why you see and fill more of them. Once he’s sure you have a good stock
of MSD products he gets busy to make sure your stock turns over. He does this by calling on more physicians, telling them about MSD products and, very often, new MSD products at that, Because MERCK SHARP & DOHME is one of the companies developing and marketing truly new and different drugs,
drugs that often represent the first of many In the field, MSD professional representatives have to contact physicians
much more frequently. So if your MSD man doesn’t turn up routinely in your store, don’t worry, MSD prescriptions will. Actually, your MSD representative is never far away, and
is always eager to serve you. If you would like to reach
him for any reason, you can locate him through your nearest
MSD branch. (See page 1 of your MSD Price List.)

What Is Your Pharmacy PR IQ?
Every enterprise or organization of any consequence at all today has a PR or public relations program. In pharmacy every national group has been after pharma- cists to give attention to public relations.
For a number of years, our public relations program has been under the super- vision of our Public Relations Committee Chairman, Charles E. Spigelmire, who has almost single handedly achieved amazing results. The committee, along with the Association office, has obtained a great deal of coverage in the various media. In addition, Mr. Spigelmire has conducted the interesting “Your Best Neighbor” radio program weekly over WCAO for many years.
In order to expand the scope of public relations efforts in the State of Mary- land, the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, together with the Baltimore Metro- politan Pharmaceutical Association, has launched a program of continuous public information to inform the public of ‘the contributions that pharmacy makes to public health and welfare.
What magic is public relations supposed to perform? After careful study the answer is obvious that no PR program can perform miracles.
If an unfavorable image is projected upon the public by any group, the undesir- able image can only be changed by demonstration that the existing image is false.
The success of our professionally-directed public relations program will be based upon concrete, actual activities of pharmaceutical associations and of in- dividuals in pharmacy. These activities can only be based upon services and pro- grams which are of interest to the public. For the most part the public information we seek to get to the attention of the public will be health related. In addition, any activities indicating the participation of the profession or individual pharmacists in civic and community affairs will be highlighted.
Simultaneously with this professional, organized PR program, there must always be in operation the everyday on-going living of good public relations by everyone in the pharmaceutical complex. Community and hospital pharmacists, educators, wholesalers, those in government and elsewhere—all must realize that the place they practice pharmacy as well as their conduct will affect the PR and the image of pharmacy.
In essence then, a PR program can only be effective, not by fabricating, inflating or distorting events, but by the actual performance of activities recognized by the public to be valuable to the health and welfare of our citizens.
In this effort we will rely greatly on pharmacists and all associated with us for information that will be of interest and suggestions for incorporation into this new PR program. We look forward to the cooperation of everyone in pharmacy to assure the achievement of our worthwhile goals on behalf of the profession.

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
It is an age-old aphorism that success does not come to those who retain a narrow view. Accordingly, it behooves us to consider for a moment some of the things that are going on in the world outside of our profession, and to see what fruit that consideration will bear. You cannot pick up a newspaper these days without reading about our boys fighting and dying in a war—a war that is not a war. The world of high finance is worried about the dollar—the dollar which hasn’t been worth a dollar since anyone alive can remember. The several years since the Sputnik was launched have clearly shown that the sky—our proverbial ‘limit”— is nothing more than a landmark of where we were in the “old days”. The lesson is clear: we are living in an atmosphere of unreal and misrepresented standards.
So much for our environment. What is the lesson for Pharmacy itself? Although ours is among the oldest of professions, it is one of the latest to be caught up in the grinding wheels of the bureaucratic mill of governmental control, and we must act now to prevent our being ground down to the level of a GS-1. If Pharmacy is to be a full and true profession, meeting the needs of the community, we— its members—must be wary of the false standards that abound in and around that profession. We must guard against inroads into Pharmacy by those who seek to reap the harvest at the expense of the community. We must be vigilant of our law- makers, and fight the false standards which threaten to erode our professional status as trained and practicing members of the American Health Team. And, as members of that team, and as professional pharmacists, we must strive to unify our forces, that we might protect our profession, and thereby more effectively ad- minister to the health and welfare of the community.
It is, then, with this end in mind, that I humbly take up the burden of the honor which you have bestowed upon me: a greater profession of Pharmacy for
our “Great Society”. Sincerely,
MORRIS R. YAFFE President

"The Future of Pharmacy Under Medicare”
By
WILLIAM E. WOODS Associate Washington Counsel The National Association of Retail Druggists Presented at the regular meeting of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceu- tical Association, Baltimore, Maryland, May 26, 1966.
Most of us have devoted the major share of our lives to some facet of the pharmacy profession or to the distribu- tion of drugs. It is doubtful that any of us have ever seen so many community pharmacists, manufacturers and whole- salers as busy trying to understand a piece of federal legislation or to assess its effect on our future.
As the countdown continues and the time for the July 1 Medicare blastoff approaches, the health professions are busy assembling information, conferring with government officials and in general searching for easy ways to keep those affected informed: Believe me there are no easy ways to do any of these things.
The basic Medicare provisions as they now stand may not be remembered in historical pharmacy for the immediate increased use of drugs. But they may well go down in history for bringing the community pharmacist into closer contact with other members of health and welfare groups.
Since I have referred to the basic Medicare provisions, perhaps we should first briefly bring into clear focus the Medicare package. This will enable me to use a few shorthand terms and you to understand them. To simplify this discussion Medicare has three parts: Title 18A, Title 18B and Title 19. These are the only terms I will ask you to remember. Title 18A is the hospital in- surance part and 18B is the voluntary or supplemental medical insurance plan. As you know Title 18 is a national program. Title 19 is the program that will enable states to provide expanded medical assistance programs and which will include drugs for many new re- cipients. Title 19 is not limited to those
over 65 but will provide medical care for the blind, aged, disabled, dependent children and all other medically in- digents.
Before discussing these three parts of Medicare as they will affect the phar- macy profession it might be helpful to get some perspective of the magnitude of the Medicare program. We know that Titles 18A and B make hospital and medical care available for about 19 mil- lion people over 65. Title 19 will be of far greater and immediate importance to retail pharmacy. Today about 8 mil- lion people are eligible for public as- sistance medical care. However there have been predictions that Title 19 could mean state welfare medical care for 35 million people. In the state of New York it is reported that 30 percent of the population may receive some but not all of their medical care under Title 19. Two-thirds of the population in Puerto Rico and one-half of the popu- lation of Minnesota will receive some medical care under Title 19. It is inter- esting to note that A.M.A. refers to Title 19 as the best method of avoiding a total Medicare for all citizens.
After discussing the three parts of Medicare with federal and state gov- ernment officials, pharmacy leaders, spokesmen of the health professions and many others, some impressions have been gained which will be of general interest to pharmacists. As the basic medicare and state welfare medical pro- grams evolve there will continue to be many developments of critical concern to retail pharmacy: Here are some im- pressions which I believe you would want to hear about. They will be ampli- fied later in this discussion.
| |
The Maryland Pharmacist
1. The National Association of Re- tail Druggists can be of great value to its membership because of frequent con- ferences with government officials in Washington as the policies for new medical care programs are being for- mulated.
2. It is essential for retail druggists to get out of the store and talk with administrators and other personnel in small hospitals, nursing homes, welfare and health departments.
3. Pharmacists should not apologize for making a profit. To quote a promi- nent welfare director’s advice to phar- macists “Profit is not sinful.” You are entitled to a reasonable return on your investment and a fair remuneration for your services, whether the patient is a private patient, a Medicare patient or a welfare recipient.
4. As Medicare patients get more pre- scriptions there may be a decrease in self medication sales of over the counter
items.
5. As the sands shift and welfare
| departments provide quality medical
care for more people, many welfare re-
| cipients will be using private physicians rather than out patient clinics in char- _ity hospitals. This will increase welfare _ prescriptions filled in the drug store.
6- When a hospital builds a doctors
_building and operates a pharmacy, it _may hurt the business of nearby stores
that depend primarily on prescriptions. Some of these stores may increase their
“upfront” merchandise.
7. The new government medical care programs will discourage per diem charges in hospitals. This will bring to an end much of the overcharging for drugs in hospitals and is causing hos- pitals to search for new ways to charge
for drugs. In the hospitals the new basis
| must be “reasonable costs” or “reason-
|
'able charges.”’
8. Under Medicare many small hos-
|pitals are discovering that state phar-
macy laws require that drugs can be
July 1966 679
dispensed legally only by pharmacists. Pharmacy consultants will be required if a hospital or nursing home does not have a full time pharmacist. The com- munity pharmacists can charge for this consultation service in addition to charges for prescriptions delivered from the store.
9. Colleges of Pharmacy will find that Medicare suggests new subject matter for academic training. To men- tion only two items: Convalescent aids or sick room supplies and pharmacy consultant duties and responsibilities.
10. As all states eventually adopt vendor drug programs whereby com- munity pharmacists will receive pay- ment from the state welfare depart- ment, welfare appropriations for drugs will be of significant concern to you. Inadequate appropriations mean a more restrictive drug program and more em- phasis on the so-called generic equi- valents or drugs of unknown quality. Pharmacy’s supprt of welfare depart- ments in these areas assures better med- ical care for welfare recipients.
11. Some estimates that hospitals are today purchasing 35 to 50 percent of the ethical pharmaceuticals are un- realistic. The predictions that hospitals will be purchasing 75 percent within 5 or 10 years are equally unrealistic. It is questionable whether the figure today exceeds 15 to 20 percent.
With this general background infor- mation on Medicare and state welfare medical programs you can begin to assess the effect of some of these pro- grams on you individually.
To work in the area of Medicare and welfare drug programs it has been re- assuring to be associated with the first national pharmacy organization repre- senting the owners of independent phar- macies to take positive action in this field. This action which included early conferences with H-E.W. officials was to enable N.A.R.D. to be of greatest as- sistance in the Medicare program to the public and to the pharmacy pro-
680 July 1966
fession Even prior to passage of Medi- care, N.A.R.D. was the only national pharmacy organization to carry in its journal, articles on state welfare drug programs. These articles were authored by authorities in state welfare programs and were published to assist retail own- ers in their desire to have current in- formation on state programs. Each month valuable new information is ap- pearing in the Journal which will be helpful to you in understanding the new programs.
Title 18A is the basic hospital care part of Medicare. Drugs are provided only to inpatients of hospitals and nurs- ing homes. While drugs are not provided otherwise under 18A, there are oppor- tunities for retail drug stores which will be discussed later.
Title 18B provides medical care or physician services in the hospital, nurs- ing home, office or home but does not cover prescribed drugs. If the law is amended to provide drugs for the aged who are not in a hospital or nursing home, 18B will be the place for such an amendment. As 18B now stands many more prescriptions will be written for the aged even though payment is not covered.
An unknown factor is whether and when Title 18B of the law will be amended to cover drugs for the aged who have not entered a hospital. We believe the proposed amendment by Congressman Boggs to provide such drug coverage would help to prevent over- utilization of hospital facilities and that drugs are a necessary part of any program such as 18B which is aimed at providing medical service. One point I would like to emphasize here is that if drugs are included as they are by the Boggs amendment, we feel it is essen- tial for the patient to have the same freedom of choice in selecting his retail pharmacy that he has in selecting his physician under 18B. The Boggs Bill provides this freedom. Such freedom would be consistent with other provis- ions of the law. In the belief that this
The Maryland Pharmacist
amendment would serve the best inter- ests of the public; I am confident that N.A.R.D. will play an important role in such legislation just as they have played in all other major legislation affecting retail pharmacy for the past sixty-five years or more. The Bill resulted from meetings of the N.A-R.D. staff and Leg- islative committee members with Con- gressman Boggs who is the majority whip in the House of Representatives. He is an important member of the House Ways and Means Committee to which such legislation is referred. We hope your association will vigorously support this Bill. It is H.R. 14597.
If 18B is amended to provide drugs, the pharmacists of the future will ex- perience a dramatic increase in pre- scriptions for the people covered by Medicare: The increase will pyramid as the age group eligibility is lowered. Whether and how fast Medicare bene- fits are expanded will certainly depend on costs under the present program, international developments and the gen- eral economy.
Naturally, one of the most frequent questions heard from retail pharma- cists is what should we be doing now under 18A and B.
Under 18A only hospital patients over 65 are provided drugs. The retail phar- macist is not involved unless the hospi- tal has no pharmacist in which case drugs may be obtained “elsewhere” from a retail drug store. About 50 percent of the hospitals do not have a pharma- cist and the patients are allowed free- dom in obtaining drugs from a store of their choice. Social Security certainly has no objection to the patients mak- ing this choice but Social Security will be paying only the hospital. The re- tailer is not a “provider” in the law- The hospital is a provider. The inter- mediary insurance company will pay the hospital and the hospital will pay the retailer when he delivers drugs to the hospital or to a hospital patient. This situation is restricted to hospitals with- out a pharmacist.

Under 18A Medicare patients are also entitled to care in a nursing home after January 1, 1967. Since many of the nursing homes do not have pharma- cists, drugs will usually be obtained from a retail pharmacy. Payment will be made as described above in small hos- pitals. If the nursing home has a phar- macy, drugs will be dispensed as they are in a hospital with a pharmacy.
Some retail pharmacists will be more interested in this business than others but the pharmacist who offers advisory and consulting service to a nursing home is probably going to get prescrip- tions for those patients who don’t care which store provides their drugs: In some instances a committee of phar- macists from several stores may be of- fering consulting services to a nursing home. In any event, the opportunities for the retail pharmacist appear far greater in nursing homes than in hos- pitals. This is true now and will prob- ably remain true under Medicare be- cause fewer nursing homes have phar- macists. Retail pharmacists should be working with administrators of both groups to assure patients a freedom of choice when their prescriptions are in- volved.
Copies of the regulations regarding hospitals and nursing homes are avail- able from Social Security. These regu- lations were issued in separate booklets: One on “Conditions of Participation for Hospitals” and the other “Conditions of Participation for Extended Care Fa- cilities’.
The booklet on Hospitals, has a sec- tion on “Pharmacy or Drug Room”. The booklet on Nursing Homes or Ex- tended Care Facilities, has a section on “Pharmaceutical Services”: These phar- macy sections in both booklets have been printed in the N.A.R.D. Journal. All pharmacists working with hospitals or nursing homes should be familiar with these two sets of regulations which are available from your nearest Social Security office. It would be wise -to dis-
The Maryland Pharmacist
cuss the pharmacy services required in these institutions under Medicare regu- lations so that the administrators will have a better understanding of state pharmacy laws, a better appreciation for quality pharmaceutical services and a greater respect for the knowledge and skills of the community pharmacists.
Now what are the surgical and medi- cal supplies covered by 18B which are of interest to the retail drug store? First, the items must be ordered by the physician and will many times be re- lated to the Home Health Service visits by a visiting nurse or public health nursing agency. These agencies may be either public or private. 100 visits are provided under 18A and 18B. In other instances the supplies may be ordered by a physician under 18B for a Medicare patient who is not getting home health care. Regulations were released on Con- ditions of Participation For Home Health Agencies.
The Home Health Care Service will provide medical supplies except drugs and biologicals. Most of the supplies will be in the sick room supply or com- valescent aid category and the phar- macy will bill the home health agency. This part of the program will surely increase the demand for these items, but not all stores will be interested, nor is the market going to be great enough to warrant all stores buying them in large quantities. A store owner should talk ‘to the home health agencies in his city and ascertain the possibilities. In any event, this will be new business as compared with nursing home prescrip- tions which are not new business to the store. Actually many of the medical supply items are not new to you for they have been traditional items in a drug store. However each of you should look into convalescent aids and sick room supplies. This is an expanding op- portunity even without Medicare.
18B will provide surgical dressings, splints, braces and a rental of medical
equipment. Apparently the patient need
The Maryland Pharmacist
not be receiving home health care to receive these items. Store owners should find out whether these items are avail- able in their city. Some stores may work out a rental program on some of these items. If a wholesaler is in the medical supply business and knows how to pro- mote these items he can be helpful to the retail pharmacy.
The new regulations on Home Health Agencies include the following state- ment:
“Medical Supplies and Appliances. Medical supplies include such items as: gauze, cotton, band aids, surgical dress- ings, catheters, surgical gloves, rubbing alcohol, irrigating solutions, intra- venous fluids, and oxygen.
“Medical appliances are items owned or rented by the home health agency and required by the patient to facilitate his treatment and rehabilitation. Medi- cal appliances include such items as bedpans, wheelchairs, crutches, hospi- tal beds, trapeze bars, oxygen tents, in- termittent positive pressure machines, and air pressure mattresses.”
The items quoted are examples only. Many others well known to you will be covered.
There are other details on Home Health Care Services including reim- bursement plans that I will not take the time now to cover. The March 21 issue of the N.A.R.D. Journal carries the first explanation on this program to be found in any journal of a national pharmacy association. The article dis- cusses reimbursement and points out that many local groups such as fire departments, Red Cross, etc., may have some of these items for loan under a “loan closet” arrangement. In many cities the retail pharmacy may be rent- ing the items or even selling them to agencies who do rent or loan them. An article on these subjects by Dr. Clare Ryder, chief of the Home Health and Related Service Branch of the Division of Medical Care Administration, P.H.S. appeared in the N.A.R-D. Journal. We are making an aggressive effort to ob-
July 1966 683
tain the latest information available on this and all other aspects of Medicare so that we can keep our members in- formed.
The Home Health Services represent clear opportunities for retail pharmacy and the wholesaler to prepare imme- diately to meet the community needs immediately, economically, and effici- ently. If you wait, you may not like what you see. If we don’t provide the service, someone else is going to do it for us.
I have mentioned three sets of regu- lations that have been issued: Those for Hospitals, for Nursing Homes and those for Home Health Agencies. The regulations for Independent Labora- tories have also been released as have the regulations and reference guides for reimbursement for physicians, and the regulations on reimbursement for Hos- pitals, Extended Care Facilities or Home Health Agencies.
As a public service, The National As- sociation Of Retail Druggists in co- operation with the Social Security Ad- ministration engaged in a mammoth undertaking which will enable the N.A.R.D. member stores to serve as Medicare Information Centers. Copies of a special brochure, “The Pharma- cist Speaks To His Customers About Medicare”, are being distributed to our members throughout the country. It en- ables pharmacists to provide their cus- tomers valuable information about Medicare. This public information proj- ect is an unprecedented opportunity for pharmacists. The response and orders for the brochure from our members has been so exciting and overwhelming that Social Security in the first week had to reprint 5 million additional copies of the brochure. In the N.A.R.D. Journal a Medicare information chart appeared which should enable a pharmacist to answer most of Medicare questions.
In this project N.A-R.D. is leading the way again so that the independent retail pharmacists can play an im- portant health information role. If they
684 July 1966
want to participate in this information project the opportunity is available to them. Twelve million customers pass through N.A.R.D.’s 40,000 stores every day:
Earlier I mentioned that Title 19 which covers state medical assistance programs is a part of the Medicare package. It has been referred to as the “sleeper” or “iceberg” and as being a real “whopper”. For the time being there is no question about its importance to pharmacy. Here lies your greatest stake and opportunity in government drug programs rather than in the basic Medicare programs of Title 18A and ley. Welfare patients are demanding medi- cal care today as a matter of right and not simply as a hope of charity.
Today almost $200 million dollars are spent in retail drug stores annually by state welfare departments. All states do not currently provide drugs for all categories of public assistance recipi- ents—aged, blind, disabled and needy children. Title 19 will give states a financial incentive to provide the same type of medical assistance for all cate- gories. At least two of the larger states have estimated that Title 19 will double its welfare drug expenditures.
Keep in mind that even today before the expanded programs go into effect many stores are receiving around $10,- 000 annually for prescriptions delivered to welfare recipients. In the small state of Rhode Island last year three stores received over $35,000. As the medically indigent category is implemented, many stores will find their private patients of today getting drugs under welfare pro- grams. If we project some of the predic- tions we may find 20 to 30 percent of the 225 million people in 1975 receiving welfare medical care and welfare drugs from retail pharmacies. This could hap- pen without any changes in the Medi- care law.
In discussion with H.E-W. officials, I have been impressed with their sincere desire to provide quality medical care to their recipients.
The Maryland Pharmacist
The new Title 19 program provides enough money for the welfare recipient to be treated like other patients and the officials don’t expect to pay quality prices for second class care. This is im- portant to retail pharmacy because it means the welfare recipient can con- tinue getting his drugs from the drug store of his choice and in his neigh- borhood. Unless there are changes in plans these patients will not be required to get their drugs “across town” or on a “Wait until Monday basis”, from a government dispensary or a charity hos- pital out patient clinic. Title 19 may increase ithe retailers share of the ethi- cal market because the recipients can now see a private physician rather than use a Charity clinic at the hospital. In this way they will be getting drugs from their neighborhood store rather than the hospital.
Naturally the drug policies or regu- lations of ‘the state welfare department are important to the retailer.
One of the characteristics of these state programs for the future will be pharmacy consultants and advisory committees at the state level. Many lo- cal welfare departments will make simi- lar arrangements. These appointments are important because the drug policies in a state may depend on the effective- ness of these pharmacy representatives.
Welfare drug expenditures through retail stores are running about 10 per- cent of total welfare medical expendi- tures but only about three percent of the total welfare budget of $5 billion. The publicity about welfare drug costs is certainly out of proportion to the small part drug expenditures represent in total welfare costs. This three per- cent even includes the drugs supplied by the retailer to many welfare patients in nursing homes.
As the adoption and implementation of 19 takes place, N.A-R.D. is constantly receiving calls for assistance and coun- sel from our members, state associa- tions and many others. New drug poli- cies are being proposed and old ones

modified and reshaped. Among national nharmacy associations representing in- 4ependent retail pharmacies, the 'TA.R.D. has the most comprehensive information and extensive experience about welfare drug programs. We are seeking more information and are dedi- cated to keeping our members informed and to assisting welfare officials wherever possible.
An extremely interesting discussion of Title 19 by Mr. Fred Steininger, Direc- tor of The Bureau of Family Services, Welfare Administration, H.E.W. is ap- pearing in the April 18 issue of the N.A.R-D, Journal. It will provide other useful information and reflects N.A.R.D.’s cooperation with H.E-W. of- ficials. He will be responsible for admin- istering Title 19.
From this discussion it is obvious why N-A.R.D. is placing so much em- phasis on welfare-Medicare programs. They iare important to the retail phar- macist now and they will be increasing- ly more important in the future.
The retail pharmacist’s future is good. Under Title 19 I am confident he is going to continue dispensing the major share of these welfare prescriptions because the welfare patient will be free to choose his pharmacist like any other patient. Under Title 19 welfare pre- scriptions may far exceed $500 million dollars before 1975.
Under 18B drugs may be included much sooner than some people think because drugs are too important to the aged who will be getting physicians’ services but no drugs. Most of these prescriptions when they are included will be filled in retail drug stores.

New Pharmaceutical Center De-
sign, Medication Preparation
Unit for Pharmacies, A Drug &
Medication Room for Nursing Homes
At the American Pharmaceutical As- sociation’s 1966 Annual Meeting, held in Dallas, Texas, McKesson & Robbins previewed three important new designs in facilities for serving the nation’s health care needs. Hundreds of phar- macists visited a new McKesson-de- signed Pharmaceutical Center, which was based on the 1965 prototype de- veloped jointly by APhA and McKesson & Robbins, but rendered in an attrac- tive Spanish or Mediterranean decor and including new features such as a Home Comfort Aids display area and fitting room. Three Pharmaceutical Center designs were made available last year by McKesson—in Early American, French Provincial and Modern decors.
On display with the new Pharmaceu- tical Center, an Extended Care Facili- ties Medication Preparation Unit was previewed for pharmacists who may be interested in expanding their services to nursing homes in their communi- ties. This unit was developed by McKesson following a comprehensive study of nursing homes and pharmacies presently serving nursing homes. It is fully equipped to meet the proposed standards for drug control and security under the Medicare Program. The McKesson ECF Medi-Prep Unit is de- signed for installation in any type of pharmacy serving four or more nurs- ing homes.
A third new unit introduced by McKesson at the APhA Annual Meet- ing is a newly-designed Drug & Medi- cation Storage Room for a typical nursing home. This unit features McKesson’s Redi-Med drug security and control equipment. It conforms to the proposed standards of pharmaceutical service to be observed by Extended Care Facilities under the Medicare Program.
In his talk before the APhA Annual Meeting on April 25, the McKesson’s president, Henry H. Henley, outlined his company’s plans for assisting phar- macists to participate advantageously in the better health care boom that the Medicare legislation has created. Mr. Henley said, “We realize that not all community pharmacists will practice in Pharmaceutical Centers, nor will all of them in nursing home service require the Extended Care Facility Service Pro- gram shown today, but every pharma- cist should examine his own local op- portunities for providing the type of pharmaceutical service that will be re- quired under Medicare. The pharmacist who faces up to the growing need for new dimensions in pharmaceutical serv- ice and finds his role in creating bet- ter ways to serve the public and the patient—that pharmacist will grow and prosper.”’

Epilepsy Foundation Warns on So-Called "Cure"
The Epilepsy Foundation in Wash- ington, D.C. has issued a statement cau- tioning the general public that recent reports of a complete ‘cure’ for epilepsy were misleading. The rumors were in response to a paper read at an inter- national symposium on biochemistry and therapeutics in New York City in which a Dr. Takashi Hayashi of Tokyo, Japan stated that injection of a certain
July 1966 707
amino acid along with homocarnosine cured completely 84 percent of the epilepsy cases he had treated.
A Foundation spokesman said that while Dr. Hayashi’s paper was inter- esting, a “lack of controls minimizes the value of the reported results.” Also Dr. Hayashi’s report lacked information concerning the incidence of seizures, the clinical pattern and the etiological fac- tors: nor did it mention duration of the treatment.
The spokesman said, however, that previous workers have reported some success in controlling seizures with a similar compound known as GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid). He also pointed out that because in more than half of all cases of epilepsy the cause of the disorder is unknown, that “... we cannot speak of a cure... but only of control of the symptoms.”

While prices in general continue to rise, drug price levels have declined significantly. The wholesale price level of “all prescription drugs” has declined 5 percent since 1961. Even more dramatic is the downward trend of patented prescrip- tion drugs. These have declined 5.3 percent during the same period compared with an increase of 2.5 percent for those
which are not patented.

The Maryland Pharmacist
Renaissance or Revolution
WILLIAM J. PEEPLES, M.D., M.P.H. Maryland State Commissioner of Health
Address to graduating class, University of Maryland, School of Pharmacy, on
Honors Day, June 1, 1966.
Last year the Congress, sparked by President Johnson’s leadership, gene- rated a veritable tidal wave of health legislation. This was the greatest single thrust forward of this nature ever pro- duced in a comparable period of time.
The Social Security amendments of 1965 are extremely significant in that they bring medical care which has not been previously available to the masses, to large numbers of aged individuals, and those who have not received medical services in the past because of inability to purchase such care. The legislation implied in Titles XVIII and XIX of these far-reaching Social Security amendments constitute the most signifi- cant medical and public health legisla- tion ever passed in this country. In addi- tion, the amendments dealing with legis- lation pertaining to heart disease, can- cer and stroke are Significant in that they are based on the concept of region- alization—a very special kind of region- alization. One of the tragedies of the contemporary medical scene has been the duplication in some areas of com- plex, expensive diagnostic and _ treat- ment capabilities whereas in others there is a total absence of these capa- bilities. Costly equipment and teams of highly skilled people have been stand- ing idle for lack of demand while else- where people are dying for want of their services. The Regional Medical Program concept is intended to remedy this type of situation by creating cen- ters of excellence with medical schools as their central focus along with teach- ing hospitals and other specialized facili- ties.
Other legislation enacted dealt with new patterns of action and new align- ments of force which are now in effect for dealing with water pollution, air
pollution, and the disposal of solid | waste. These new laws coupled with other measures designed to enhance the natural and cultural resources of the nation add up to a firm national declara- tion that the quality of living is as im- portant as the length of life, and this quality of living as a self-respecting, self- sufficient part of our complex life is a matter of major concern for you and a principal reason for your professional existence.
Legislation was also passed in 1965 which moves into the field of educa- tional preparation of physicians, dentists, all types of public health specialists and other professionals. This legislation was known as the Health Professions Educa- tional Assistance Act. Further legislation dealt with the creation and staffing of community mental health centers. In 1963 legislation was passed which cre- ated a premise for federal participation in establishing mental health centers, but only in 1965 were funds added to provide staffing for these centers. As President Johnson had said in his 1965 Health Message, ‘facilities alone do not assure services.” The Congress then pro- vided, in the new law, the broadened base of assistance for staffing.
In addition, the Congress also passed legislation which deals with the health of a certain region of this nation known as Appalachia, consisting of mountain- ous areas in twelve different states on the eastern seaboard where poverty is the outstanding characteristic of the area provided for. This law has in its concept a regional approach to provid- ing better highways, better medical care, better sewerage disposal facilities and other improvements to rehabilitate this area into a self-sustaining section of the nation. All told, some seventeen major
The Maryland Pharmacist
pieces of health legislation were passed by the Congress during 1965.
This leads me to express to you a favorite quotation from Dr. Lawrence Newell, President of Harvard University, which says—‘It is hardly an exaggera- tion to summarize the history of the last four hundred years by saying that the leading idea of the conquering na- tion in relation to the conqueror was in 1600 to change its religion—in 1700 to change its laws—in 1800 to change its trade—and in 1900 to improve its health.” Will this period in history be known as the Renaissance or the Revo- lution in medical care?
Historians habitually break history into ages or periods—the Homeric Age, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The important development called the Renaissance actually began in Italy in the waning years of the Middle Ages about 1300 A.D. Ciotto, the most revo- lutionary painter of his day, was 33 years old, and Dante, the author of the Divine Comedy, was 35. By the middle of the fourteenth century the Renaissance had become a distinct and recognizable cul- tural movement. Over the course of the next 200 years, until the sack of Rome by the soldiers of Charles V, ruler of the Germanic empire beyond the Alps, the world as Dante and Ciotto saw it was transformed. Men were treated not as generalizations of themselves but as individual beings and interested in things for their own sake. Besides the advancement of art, sculpture, architec- ture, and a concept known as humanism, one of the most important advancements of the Renaissance was the making of knowledge of classical literature the mark of an educated gentleman. The Renaissance established a kind of inter- national culture of the lay character out- side of, independent of, and often hostile to the Church. The Renaissance cen- tered its interest in the experiences, na- ture, and culture of the individual man. Its scientific activity operated in phi- lology, ethics, biography, psychology, government, and history. One of the
July 1966 709
most significant aspects of the Renais- sance was recently depicted in a tele- vision documentary about Galileo. Gali- leo developed the theory that the earth rotated around the sun. This was in diametric opposition to the ancient theory of that time that the sun revolved around the earth. The Church actually blocked Galileo’s hypothesis from being distributed and read because it would cause people of that day and time to think. Since the Church had gone along with the ancient theory, it was ap- parent that it did not want people to have thoughts and ideas of their own which might be in competition with the doctrines of the Church.
From Italy the Renaissance spread, partly as the result of the Italian wars, to France, Spain, Germany, the low countries, England and the rest of Europe. This escape from what the Italians termed the ‘‘Dark Ages” resulted in man’s enlightened desire to learn and most of all to think as an individual.
We are now facing a revolution in Medical Care. Whether this revolution will be known as a renaissance, it is only for later historians to decide. The pressures of change demand that we must plan for the revolution in medical care that is before us. We cannot add a little here and a little there and believe that the gap will be closed. Our knowl- edge, skills, facilities, services and pro- fessional educational programs must be re-examined in the light of high pro- fessional standards of medical care and then welded into a more efficient system. The weapons of the last war will not suffice to meet the new challenges and enemies of today. We must look, there- fore, into the future to determine what weapons we must forge.
The fact of rapid change must not dismay us. It will provide unparalleled opportunities to bring the fruits of medical science into practical applica- tion. On the other hand, it may also permit great boondoggling mistakes that could set us back for decades. Future
710 July 1966
plans must be based on more than a strong emotional urge to get rid of the killers of mankind. Boldness must be tempered by precise planning of care- fully designed experiments, although we must not use thoughtfulness as an ex- cuse for inaction.
The public will ultimately decide what will or will not be done to close the gaps. They will be forced to do so by the pressure of events. It is our re- sponsibility as professionals to present them with soundly based alternatives so that they may choose wisely. Scien- tists must examine existing knowledge and when possible design experiments to fill major gaps, evaluating skills and resources critically to decide how they may most effectively be used and sup- plemented. We cannot avoid professional responsibilities to guide representatives of the public as they attempt to meet the emergencies created by the many pressures which will infringe on all of us in the near future.
These pressures are well known to all of you. Foremost among them is a population which is rapidly increasing, particularly at the extremes of life where medical care is needed most. This simul- taneous aging and what might be called “younging” of the population results from erasing untimely death and from our relatively high birth rate. We are actually faced with an infant mortality rate higher than it should be on the one hand, and a burgeoning complex of chronic illness on the other.
In this country we have developed a habit of believing that there is no prob- lem that a billion dollars or so will not solve, or at least make a healthy dent in it. Herman Biggs, the Commissioner of Health of New York State in 1914, stated, “Public health is purchasable; within natural limitations, any commun- ity can determine its own death rate.” A billion dollars or two will make a difference. This I am prepared to agree upon, but my point is—given the coun- try and its resources, the major prob- lems lie outside of merely “more
The Maryland Pharmacist
money.” Rising costs of hospital care and medical care in general have been taking place at a startling rapid rate. These are symptoms of the develop- ments which are taking place and the fundamentals are rigidly in need of at- tention. We are faced with the problem of providing more and better quality medical care virtually for hundreds of thousands of Americans with the same or lesser input. So, it is not merely an- other billion dollars. The challenge must effect changes in the way we practice medicine if we are likely to alter sig- nificantly the provision of medical care to these increasing numbers with con- straints on cost and the essential of high quality over the next decade.
There are many things to be con- sidered in properly assessing our facili- ties—hospital care, pre-admission ex- aminations. ambulatory care, self-care. home-care, the improved management of hospital programs, the locations of hos- pitals and other medical care facilities and the rising cost of care. At the 1965 health conference of the New York Academy of Medicine, it was stated, “It is reasonable to say that in the com- ing decades the changes in the organiza- tion and financing of health care will exceed in magnitude and scope those that occurred during the last half cen- CUVaes
One of the greatest concerns in the provision of medical care in this country is that of providing medical care of high quality. As I mentioned earlier, there are areas in this country in which little or no medical care is available. In other areas of the country a very high quality, specialized type of medical care is avail- able. We have areas within Maryland where there are no practicing physicians for fifteen to thirty miles. We have areas in this State where there are no hos- pitals and no arrangements to transport patients in need of medical care to hos- pitals 10 to 25 miles away. As Professor J. T. Dunlop, Professor of Economics of Harvard University stated, “We have no trouble at all in getting our doctor of

Tell them you saw it in “The Maryland Pharmacist”
712 July 1966
The Maryland Pharmacist
philosophy graduates to take positions with major universities on the West Coast and on the East Coast. We have great difficulty, however, in persuading them or interesting them at all in tak- ing positions where economic instruc- tion is poor, in a number of smaller col- leges and in regions of the country where they seem to have no interest in going.”
This is equally true in the field of medicine. It is most difficult to encour- age physicians, pharmacists, and other paramedical personnel to practice in areas that are essentially rural, where the greater percentage of the population have exceedingly low incomes. This is a subject to which the Maryland Legisla- ture has devoted considerable time and interest and is the subject of continu- ing discussions between the two medi- cal schools, the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty, and other professional school representatives in the State along with the State Health Department. The ques- tion is: How can we devise ways of im- proving the distribution of medical man- power throughout the State? All areas of this State obviously cannot have the type of medical care which is afforded at the University of Maryland and at Johns Hopkins University. There must be basic medical care programs available, how- ever, to all so that an individual who is sick can readily travel to a physician within a few miles or a few minutes time and be seen, diagnosed, and if necessary sent on to more spe- cialized types of care which he needs. Internal machinery must be established within the medical industry in coopera- tion with government, State, Federal, and local, by which the quality of medi- cal care can be brought specifically and objectively more into the open. Boards of Review of various kinds and a greater participating role for medical and other professional schools in the certification of quality are a means to secure a more objective measure of this quality. This may cause some outcry, I am sure, but we need to recognize that all medical
care will not be top quality, but that objective measures of quality grades can be and need to be established. The present medical industry must relax its rigidity and its lack of flexibility in the face of new opportunities and new prob- lems.
One of the paramount problems that faces us over the next decade is not money or funds, but manpower to pro- vide the medical services which are nec- essary to the population of this country. Professionals involved in their own pur- suits may often forget that even today when the structure of the family is changing, it would never be feasible at going commercial rates to find enough money or personnel to provide all of the personal health services that family members are able to give one another. Parents nurse their children, prescribe for them, and work to keep them well. Adults in the family take care of one another and as everyone in the family grows older, the children provide health care for their parents. This is not always the case, but in general it keeps us from building more and more chronic institu- tions, nursing homes, and extended care facilities. Given more health education, more families can provide more and bet- ter health care in the home. Once an American leaves his home to search ad- ditional health care, he can be horn- swoggled, confused and mislead as he makes his choice. There are many op- portunities for self-medication presented to him through every sort of communi- cations media. He can take himself to any one of a number of physicians, health agencies, community services, pharmacists, optometrists, podiatrists, or other licensed practitioners. He may take himself, as many do, to a cultist or quack. I believe that the individual should start with a personal physician. This physician of choice should provide comprehensive health care, but to do so he must call on the services of many allied or helping personnel. Many such personnel are skilled professionals in their own right and under the physician’s
The Maryland Pharmacist
direction are competent to provide cer- tain aspects of health care. This brings up the necessity of proper utilization of the various kinds of health personnel, so that each helping person gives as much help as he is competent to give, and does not waste time performing tasks that can be done as well or better by others. It is a waste of health person- nel in scarce supply if any task is per- formed below the level for which they are trained when there are others avail- able to do such work. We must take steps to increase the efficiency and use of manpower, based on careful thought, research and demonstration, for ex- ample, dental hygienists and other as- sistants with broader functions should become a regular part of all dental practice. Aides of various kinds, nurs- ing, therapy, laboratory, pharmaceutical, clerical and others should be developed and used to relieve more highly skilled personnel of routine tasks. Homemakers should be trained and assigned to en- large the effectiveness of visiting nurse services in home care programs. Funds should be provided by both voluntary and official health agencies to test ap- propriate patterns for the improved use of volunteers.
These observations are made in the light of personnel changes over the past sixty years. In 1900 for every 100 physi- cians there were 60 health professionals trained in other fields including 24 den- tists, 1 registered nurse, and 35 pharma- cists. By 1960 the relative numbers of health professionals other than physi- cians had increased so that for every 100 physicians there were 371 other profes- sionally trained health personnel. First, they are suporting to the physician and allow him to treat more patients, and secondly, they increase health care effi- ciency because of their specialized pro- fessional competency. The physician can- not do the job of treating patients all alone any more, and the use of other personnel in the most efficient way pos. sible is something that will have to be
July 1966 713
continuously studied over the next sev- eral years in order to produce the quan. tities and quality medical care that are necessary.
Unless the manpower problem can be solved, this revolution which we have been discussing may become a “shoot ing” type of rebellion. We are faced with the problem of providing more medical care to more people than ever before with no more appreciable numbers of all the other personnel which I have previously outlined. There is no ap- parent possibility of any great increases in the production and education of these personnel over the next several years.
You have been provided a course in this University for the past five years which has taught you professional skills, through learning of chemistry, pharma- cology, physiology, toxicology, the mathe- matics and other sciences. You have been taught to think and act in a man- ner commensurate with that of stand- ards which have been developed for pharmacists. In future years, you will practice these skills which you have learned in this School. I urge you, how- ever, to expand your interests into the community, to participate in community affairs and become a part of them, whether they be in the field of health or other interests. Beyond all, I urge you to think—to think with an open mind, to think about the problems which are impinging upon this nation, both from within and from without. In order to provide the leadership which is now necessary to overcome the obstacles which will face us now and in the future, independent thinking, one of the key notes of the Renaissance, is a must.
In this day and time, the patterns and speed of carrying on everyday living is so rapid with so many different forces tugging in one direction and then the other, that independent thinking is most hard to come by. We are accustomed to having things in packages or prepack- ages thrust at us. I would say to you that this is fine as far as the grocery
714 July 1966
The Maryland Pharmacist
store is concerned, but not with think- ing. Independent thinking is an asset which must be cultured, developed, and hung onto tenaciously, if you as citizens in your community are to exert the type of leadership for which you have been trained.
One of the processes needed to pre- vent the rebellion which may be before us from becoming a “red” revolution is planning. Last summer while New York- ers were watching their emptying reser- voirs and hoping for rain, Californians were busy building an aqueduct that would carry water some 440 miles from the Sacramento River near Sacramento to Los Angeles and other cities in the southern part of the State. This fore- sight was a result of planning, so that people in Southern California were wat- ering their lawns and filling their Swim- ming pools without restriction, while in New York and New Jersey lawns were dying and pools stood empty. One had to ask for a glass of drinking water when he went into a restaurant. In the water- rich Middle Atlantic States, water short- ages are therefore largely the result of delayed action, failure of management, and failures to plan, sometimes exacer- bated by political jockeying.
In order to provide the types of medi- cal care in the quantities which are needed, we of the medical professions must determine the needs in concert with others who have similar or tan- gential interests. When this is done we should look to our resources in terms of the problems with the highest prior- ity and of those requirements which can best be met by others. We must not only think of those things which are important to personal health care and the medical care which is involved, but also to control our environment from air pollution, water pollution, and the other detrimental environmental condi- tions which spring up. Proper planning, with cause and effect relationships being understood, are equally important to personal health care. Planning must take
place not only at the national level, but at the State, local and regional level. Research should be emphasized concur- rently in the study of operational and enforcement activities.
As P. B. Medawar of the University College of London said, “we are not yet qualified to prescribe for the medical welfare of our grandchildren. I should say that present skills are sufficient for | present ills.” Our skills must extend, I believe, beyond this point, so that we can effectively plan for what is to come over the next decade. I am more in agreement with a quotation from Rene’ Dubos, who said, “Threats to health are inescapable accompaniments of life.” Any change in the environment demands new adaptive reaction and disease is a consequence of inadequacies in adaptive responses, but unless men become ro- bots their behavior with the environment fully controllable and predictable, no formula can ever give them permanently the health and happiness symbolized by the “contented cow.” Physicians and public health officials like soldiers are always equipped to fight the last war. I suggest that we need contingent struc- tural rearrangements if we are to be equipped to fight the war for improved medical care in the decade ahead.

Two Minute Pregnancy Test
A simple, inexpensive and highly ac- |} curate two-minute urine test for preg- }nancy was introduced by Wampole Laboratories, division of the Denver |} Chemical Manufacturing Company.
Called Pregslide, the new test’s ac- curacy Of 97% has been confirmed by | controlled tests in medical and hospital | laboratories, according to Dr. Souren Avakian, Wampole’s vice president and research director.
Dr. Avakian also pointed out that be- cause of its high sensitivity to human
July 1966 717
chorionic gonadotropin (approximately two units/ml), the new test can detect pregnancy earlier than other slide tests.
Early detection is a particularly sig- nificant advantage, he said, because the first few months of pregnancy are the most dangerous for the unborn child. “The earlier a physician can confirm a pregnancy,” he said, “‘the sooner he can take precautions to safeguard the well being of the unborn child.”
Pregslide is based upon the princi- ple of latex agglutination. One drop of the patient’s urine is placed upon a specially tinted blue slide. A drop of antiserum is then added and mixed. This mixture is rocked gently for 36 seconds. Finally, a drop of latex anti- gen is added, mixed and the slide again rocked gently for two minutes.
The mixture will assume a smooth or finely granular pattern if the patient is pregnant. Otherwise, the cells will separate and clump together on the slide.

Germicide Spray Reduces Air-Borne Bacteria
An interesting approach to the con- trol of air-borne microbes is reported in the American Pharmaceutical Associa- tion’s Journal of Pharmaceutical Sci- ences.
Leo Greenberg wrote in the July issue that a germicidal aerosol treatment of air in a heavily trafficked laboratory markedly reduced the mean microbial population and altered it from predomi- nantly bacterial to primarily fungi, with members of the Penicillium-Aspergillus group dominating.
The author, working at the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, used a germicide formulation of quaternary ammonium compounds, glycol, and alcohol, with a fluorinated hydrocarbon propellant. Three dispensing units were installed on the laboratory walls 8 feet above the floor. The units were spaced so that the spray paths converged in the ap- proximate center of the lab.
A metered amount (100 mg.) was automatically dispensed and atomized into the laboratory atmosphere by the motorized apparatus at 15-minute inter- vals around the clock for one month. The 15-minute interval was chosen be- cause it gave barely measurable levels of germicide particles at the end of the period and did not allow excessive accumulation.
Sampling was conducted for 8 weeks— 2 weeks prior to the treatment as a control, 4 weeks during the treatment, and 2 weeks following. Air samples were collected every 4 hours during the day and every six hours during the night. Samples were taken in an adjoining lab as a control to ensure that any gross changes noted were not seasonal. Usual student traffic in and out of the lah occurred daily.
This aerosol system caused a rela- tively rapid and significant decline in bacteria counts, including cocci. The au- thor speculates that the apparent suc- cess against coccal forms may indicate
The
a possible usefulness against pathogenic
forms of staphylococci.

How Much Does Starch Swell?
Maryland Pharmacist
Li, J5
Cornstarch, which is extensively used |
as a tablet disintegrant, has been as-
sumed to swell when in contact with
moisture, thereby causing the tablet to rupture. However, James T. Ingram
j
and Werner Lowenthal, of the Medical |
College of Virginia, note that little work has been published on the exact me- chanism of action of starch as a dis- integrating agent-

starch swells sufficiently in vivo or in.
vitro to cause tablet disintegration.
They cite a reference in which aspirin |
tablets disintegrated in cold water, but microscopic examination showed the starch grains were not swollen. Therefore, they wished to determine if starch grains swell at 37° and what conditions influence this. Commercial
|
grades of corn, potato, and amioca starches of both low and high moisture | content were used. Effects of time, acid —
or basic media, added salts, and simu-
lated gastric fluid U.S.P. on the vari- |
ous starch species were studied: Indi- vidual grain dimensions were measured microscopically to determine extent of swelling.
The starches did not swell significant- |
ly in distilled water or simulated gastric fluid. The less acid medium produced more swelling than more acid media. Salts of polyvalent cations (e.g., mag- nesium and aluminum chlorides) pro- duced more swelling than salts of mono- valent cations (e.g., sodium chloride). The effect of time indicated that the swelling which does occur appears to be instantaneous.
The Maryland Pharmacist
Swelling of starch grains was ob- served to be in the order of a 5 to 10% increase in mean grain size. At present, the authors suggest that this does not seem large enough to cause tablets to disintegrate. Therefore, they are con-
_tinuing their work to determine other
factors which may influence swelling of starch grains and also to determine if the observed increase in grain di-
-ameter is sufficient to rupture tablets.

When Betsy came boiling out of the Gulf of Mexico and devastated the Greater New Orleans area with winds, rain and floods, she created a health problem that challenged the resources of doctors, pharmacists and pharmaceutical companies.
No sooner had Betsy departed, leaving mud, wreckage and disease in her wake, than Lederle area men, such as Bill Roberts (above) headed for the scene. After receiving typhoid and tetanus inoculations and pick- ing up special passes, they toured the waste- lands and made arrangements with doctors and pharmacists to replace without charge all Lederle drugs and biologicals damaged or destroyed by the hurricane.
It was quite a job. More than 300 phar- macies and approximately 1200 M.D.’s are located in that area. Yet it was done in re- markably short time—thanks to 18-hour days by the men on the scene, a closely co- ordinated emergency shipment system and the marvels of modern plane, train and truck transportation.
Cost, price, profit? They didn’t figure at all in this public service situation. Our only consideration was: How to get precious drugs to the scene as quickly as possible, so that lives could be saved and needless suf- fering prevented.
That is the way dependable, American brand-name manufacturers operate.

Editorial......
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, representing the profession of phar- macy in Maryland, is concerned with every development that inpinges on the | practice of pharmacy.
Among the important areas we are concerned with are:
1. The discrimination by some manufacturers in their distribution policies in favor of hospitals, clinics, dispensing physicians and large organizations, in contrast to the drug wholesaler and the individual community pharmacist.
2. Veterans Administration Mail Order Prescription service, whereby the V.A. is urging physicians to get their patients to mail their prescriptions to V.A. dispensaries and hospital pharmacies.
3. Physician dispensing and alleged collusion between physicians, drug manu- facturers, repackagers and pharmacists.
ACTION REQUIRED All pharmacists are urgently requested to furnish any information they may have about any of these activities which may be unlawful, unprofessional or un- ethical. Be sure to transmit any data which indicates practices in the above areas of pharmaceutical services which are not in the best interest of the pbulic or the profession.

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
In my forty odd years in the service of a community pharmacy, I have taken time to study the unusual and psychological drive that makes for a pharmacist. He is a man truly dedicated to the health and welfare of his community. No matter what type of community or what type of pharmacy or drug store this man is put into, the instincts to help and be a part of that community will always emerge from even the greatest introvert. There is not a day that goes by when the pharmacist, whether in our cities, towns or crossroads in this great country, is not called upon for his help from people in every station in life. His knowledge, training and assistance are requested in every area: professional, communal, interracial, inter- faith, interfamily and in the many intimate facets of human relations. The com- munity pharmacist is the most frequently sought after member of our community, even more than our clergy, who are dedicated to the help of humanity.
For centuries the pharmacist has gone through life giving of his knowledge, his time and of himself to help his fellow man. Whether this man realizes his im- portance and his place in his community is a story that I am sure will be unfolded in the very near future. With the advent of the large corporate organizations, the giants and the mammoth drug stores, the public is slowly realizing that they cannot get the treatment or advice from these establishments that their mothers and fathers got when they were growing up in their communities. These giants have taken this wonderful and willing pharmacist and put him in a white cage away from contact with people in his community. He wants to help, but he is too far away to listen to their questions and to give them his professional or personal advice. It is just like undressing in a show window on a busy thoroughfare. Gone is the personal touch, the privacy of a few comforting words, or just a word of greeting. The members of the new generation, I believe, will seek out a community pharmacy where they can have personal contact with their community pharmacist.
There are some of us who will say that this is not professional, but this is our profession. We are in a sense pharmaceutical public relations people. We are dedicated to the good and welfare of our people and we must realize that we are as important to the people as each cog is important to a machine. Take one or two cogs out and it may work, but not as efficiently.
The community pharmacist is slowly realizing the potential in the position he occupies in his community. This man is slowly emerging from a cocoon and taking his just place in the community of health fighters, community planners and public officials. This man is like a veritable volcano that has laid dormant for many years, but keeps bubbling away and every now and then it boils over and we have a Hubert Humphrey, a Bill Apple or a Willard Simmons.
So I say to you, my fellow pharmacists, take a good look at yourself. You are a force for good in your communities. You are needed. Be proud of your part in
this great drama of life. Live pharmacy to its utmost and you will have a life which I know will be truly gratifying.
Sincerely,
MORRIS R. YAFFE President

The Maryland Pharmacist
Early Pharmacy in the Balto. Campus Area (UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND) By B. F. ALLEN?*
Just prior to 1812, steps had been taken to provide a permanent home for the College of Medicine of Maryland (established in 1807) at the corner of Lombard and Greene Streets in what was then “the western end of the city.” Baltimore was growing rapidly at the time and and already had attained a population large enough to make it the third city in size in the United States.
The medical group, to solve this prob- lem, enlisted the aid of certain distin- guished citizens, among whom was Colonel John Eager Howard, Revolu- tionary War hero and fifth Governor of Maryland (his remains interred in the graveyard at Lombard Street and Fre- mont Avenue).
The Maryland General Assembly in 1812 created the original University of Maryland, at the site where the Balti- more branch of the University is still to be found, by authorizing the College of Medicine to annex to itself three other colleges (Arts and Sciences, Divinity and Law).
The lot on the north-east corner of Lombard and Greene Streets was pur- chased from Colonel Howard at “a merely nominal amount,” ($10,000), and is one instance of the liberality of that distinguished citizen. Colonel Howard was a member of the Board of Trustees (at times also known as Board of Regents).
The building on the corner of Greene and Lombard Streets was completed in 1813 (the western limit of the city at this time was Greene Street), The re- mains of R. Cary Long, the architect for this edifice were also interred in St. Paul’s graveyard at Lombard Street and Fremont Avenue.
*State Historian for the Section on Historical Pharmacy of the American Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation.
The first suggestion of a College of Pharmacy in Baltimore emanated from Dr. William R. Fisher (he held the de- gree of M.D.), a native of Philadelphia, who settled here in 1827, at the age of nineteen, and established a pharmacy about 1834. He was Professor of Botany in the School of Arts and Sciences of this University (1837) and one of the leading spirits in the Maryland Academy of Sicence and Literature.
Of Dr. Fisher’s “plan” nothing is known except that he had formed one, and that it met with favor among his colleagues of the Medical and Chirurgi- cal Faculty. A sudden illness prevented his participation in its execution. He re- turned to Philadelphia in 1839 and re- covered sufficiently to occupy a profes- sorship in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. He died at Hohnesburg, near Philadelphia, in 1842 at the early age of thirty-four.
The School of Pharmacy of the Uni- versity of Maryland, originally the Mary- land College of Pharmacy, is now in the one hundred and twenty-fifth year of its existence. In 1841, there were seventy- seven drug stores in Baltimore City. The more forward-looking proprietors of these stores, realizing that a broader and more thorough education and training than could be obtained through employ- ment in a drug store must be provided for their apprentices if the citizens of the Commonwealth were to be properly served, joined with some of the more progressive physicians of Baltimore City in organizing the Maryland College of Pharmacy, which was incorporated on January 27, 1841, and which began to function as a teaching institution in No- vember of the same year (the home of the college was a single small room lo- cated on Gay Street, north of Baltimore Street).

730 August 1966
The Maryland Pharmacist
In the spring of 1844 a committee from the Maryland College of Pharmacy was appointed to endeavor to make an arrangement with the Faculty of Physic of the University for a union of the two institutions.
On April 24, 1844, the Maryland College of Pharmacy entered into an arrange- ment with the Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland whereby the lec- tures of the College of Pharmacy were to be united with those of the University so as to enable the students of medicine to have the benefit of the lectures on pharmacy, in return for which the stu- dents of pharmacy were to enjoy the privilege of attending the lectures on chemistry by the Dean of the Faculty of Physic. The lectures on pharmacy were delivered in the amphitheater of “Old Main” (now Davidge Hall) located at Lombard and Greene Streets. (Tradition has it that a large crowd of anxious Bal- timoreans viewed the spectacular firing on Fort McHenry from the front en- tarnce of this building, the events in other words that led to the writing of the Star Spangled Banner in 1814).
At this time it was decided to elect a professor of pharmacy to deliver the course of lectures. Dr. David Stewart, who had in this year (1844) taken his degree in medicine at the University was elected to the professorship. The name of the chair of pharmacy thus created on April 30, 1844 was the first in this country. The arrangement with the Fac- ulty of Physic continued in force until the year 1847, when the interest in the college of pharmacy began to decline.
It is interesting to note, that during this association, permission was given the College to occupy a small room (number “20”) for meetings and for the arrangement of its cabinet of speci- mens.
For nine years the college lay para- lyzed and it was not until the year 1856 that interest in the institution again re- vived. On February 20, 1856 thirty-one apothecaries met at a hall on the corner of Lexington and Eutaw Streets and
helped reorganize the college (it appears some classes may have been held at this location).
In the fall of 1856, the College rented a room at the corner of Calvert and Water Streets, fitted it with requisite furniture and apparatus, and made all arrangements for a resumption of an active society and college career, to which there has been no interruption up to the present time.
From 1856 until 1876, the College was located in various rented rooms and halls in what is usually considered today as the downtown area. Meanwhile a large increase had taken place in the number of students, and there had also been improvements and increase in the course of instruction, all of which neces- sitated the providing of larger accom- modations.
In accordance with these needs in 1876 the College purchased from the city a granite-front building on Aisquith Street just north of Fayette Street, on the east side, used as a public grammar school (this building closely resembled the McKim school house which stands today at the corner of Baltimore and Aisquith Streets and is considered a gem of classic architecture).
In the Spring of 1886, further increase of accommodations was called for, and it was decided to erect a new building upon the site of the one then occupied. An architect was consulted, and a hand- some structure (frontage of sixty-seven feet and a depth of eighty-five feet, and three stories high) was erected at a cost of $35,000 and occupied during the lat- ter part of the session of 1886-87.
About 1898 the subject of a union of the College with the University of Mary- land became first bruited about as a possibility. The formal mention of union was made by the Dean of the Facuity of Physic, at the annual meeting of the Medical Alumni Association in this year. He spoke of proposed new Schools or Faculties, especially of the purpose of the authorities of the University to seek affiliation with St. John’s College (An-

napolis) and the Maryland College of Pharmacy, Also of considerable interest is that back in 1882, the Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland se- cured a charter from the Legislature of the State of Maryland for a Department of Pharmacy to be added to the School of Medicine.
The Legislature approved a _ supple- mentary Act on March 21, 1882 authoriz- ing the Regents of the University to grant the degree of Doctor or Licentiate in Pharmacy upon any one who had served an apprenticeship of four years with some competent pharmacist, and shall have attended at least two full courses of lectures in the theory and practice of pharmacy, and at least one full course in qualitative analysis, and shall be at the time of receiving the de- gree at least twenty-one years old.
Therefore, the Faculty of Physic made the first overtures, which were favorably received by the authorities of the Col- lege, and the union was Officially con- cluded on July 7, 1904 and the Mary- land College of Pharmacy became the Department of Pharmacy of the Univer- sity of Maryland.
By this arrangement, the College as- sumed the same relations to the Univer- sity as the Department of Dentistry (established in 1882). Besides the great- ly improved location and the very de- sirable and stimulating influence of Uni- versity life, the students were able to participate in Medical Department lec- tures and laboratory instruction.
Accommodations were provided for this department in the new Dental Building, erected in 1903-04, on the east side of Greene Street, corner of Cider Alley. (This building, although no longer devoted to its first use, has been thor- oughly overhauled many times, and is now known as the Medical Technlogy Building, 31 South Greene Street).
Classes for the session 1904-05 opened in the buildings on the University
The Maryland Pharmacist
grounds, corner of Greene and Lombard Streets. The office and pharmacy labora- tories were located in the new Dental Building. The chemistry and microscopi- cal laboratories were located in the Gray Laboratory (erected about 1894 and it is still in active operation today, situated behind the old medical building now known as Davidge Hall). Lectures were held in Gorgas Hall of the Dental Build-
ing and in the Amphitheatre of the oid |
Medical Building (erected in 1813).
The change from an isolated School to a Department of a University proved satisfactory and advantageous. The Uni- versity authorities felt that they had gained in this College, with its fine tra- ditions and its long and successful ca- reer, a valuable ally and associate. The oharmacist, with his systematic habits and business methods, and, above all his common sense ideas—which are not perhaps so common or conspicuous in our less practical professions—was ex- pected to bring to bear upon the staid circles an influence and an example that would contribute powerfully for their betterment.
The College, as the Department of
Pharmacy of the University of Maryland, soon recovered any loss in its student body suffered prior to the amalgamation. (The number of students dropped from one hundred and fifty in 1887 to sixty- eight in 1903). During the session of 1905-06 there were seventy-one students in attendance, of whom twenty-four re- ceived the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy (Phar. D.) at its close.
In 1907, the University was composed of only two Colleges or Faculties—Law and Medicine—the latter having attached to it subordinate departments of Den- tistry and Pharmacy. At this time, some- one stated, that it was an anomaly that the School of Pharmacy should be a mere appendage to the School of Medi- cine, a change which would occur if the Baltimore institution became a great State University.
The Maryland Pharmacist
August 1966
The number of students increased to as many as ninety-eight in 1915-16. Then came World War I, and the number of students diminished in the Department of Pharmacy until there were only Ssix- teen graduates in 1920. In this year, the University of Maryland (Baltimore) was merged with the Maryland State College (College Park) and the combined institu- tions became the state university, the old name, University of Maryland, being continued.
Following this merger, the Department. of Pharmacy became the School of Pharmacy of the new University of Maryland and student enrollment in- creased. The session of 1921-22 opened with a student body numbering ninety- nine, and that of 1922-23 with one hun- dred and forty-six students.
On April 22, 1922, the Schools of Den- tistry and Pharmacy received the deed for the property known as 27 South Greene Street, consisting of the old church and parsonage buildings of the Emmanuel Evangelical Church (the present site of the Bressler Research Building). A third floor, with a stairway leading to it, was built into the body of the church building, and other necessary partitions, etc. were put in place. The School of Pharmacy moved into this building with its decorated church ceil- ing and stained glass windows, early in November 1922. The laboratories for chemistry and Pharmacy were moved to this building. Lectures were given on the first and second floors and in Gorgas Hall of the Dental Building (some labor- atories in this building were also used). The upper floors of the parsonage pro- vided office space, as well as storage and preparation rooms.

RETIREMENT?
A CRUCIAL PROBLEM AND MPA’s ANSWER
“When I was thirty years old, 65 looked a long ways off. Where did those years go?” The man talking happened to be a member we know, but it could be any one of us, couldn’t it? More than half of the crucial years—those between 30 and 50, have usually slipped by be- fore we even begin to realize that soon we'll want to quit business and take it easy. Some of us still don’t believe that time is going to come—but it always does! If we’re lucky!
Planning for retirement is one of the most critical problems facing independ- ent businessmen today.
MPA is doing something about it for its members.
This is not the first time that our in- dustry has worked together to solve common problems says President Mor- ris RB. Yatfe:
But the future holds more problems than preserving and expanding markets and sales—problems that must be met head-on.
Consider these facts:
@ Of 20 people reaching the age of 65
. only one will be able to retire
and be completely self-sustaining, even with the aid of Social Securi-
ty. @ Of every 100 men at age 25... by the age 65:
46 will be dependent on relatives, friends or charity.
34 will have died (29 leaving no estate).
13 will have to continue working
5 will be independent
2 will have incomes of more than $10,000 annually.
We know now that 80% of these peo- ple did not plan to fail... they failed to plan! Why these tragic results?
You would think that people who worked all their lives would be prudent
Here’s How to Make the Most of It
enough to prepare carefully for retire- ment. But such, unfortunately, is not the case. Inability to earn enough is not the problem. They earn enough, but they simply fail to plan. And that’s where MPA has decided to give you a hand. We are now prepared to give you the tools with which you can become a part of the 7% who do a good job of retirement planning.
Here is the gist of our thinking and planning for you:
It is a well-established fact that large corporations and government institu- tions have long understood retirement problems. Unions also are constantly pushing for greater retirement benefits for their members. Unlike many inde- pendent businessmen, the latter can now enjoy or look forward to the comfort and security which only time and sound investment can bring.
Eearly Start and Hedges Are Essentials
These programs generally are built around three basic criteria:
(1) An early start toward pension buildup (most often, at age 30 or soon thereafter);
(2) Insured dollars to provide a hedge against deflation and depression, and
(3) Equity investment in common stocks to hedge against inflation.
Under this type of a plan, many em- ployees have built up substantial securi- ty through small monthly contributions set aside for future retirement.
For example, a recent article in the Wall Street Journal reported that em- ployees of Sears Roebuck, with 25 to 30 years of service and participation in such a plan, were receiving on the aver- age a retirement stake of $113,000 on which to draw in their golden years.
Programless Employers Sustain Losses Wonderful it is—but what about a pharmacy proprietor or employee?

Benefit programs of this nature entice good employees away from independent businessmen who have none — because they have not been able to offer such incentives.
The result? Turnover, added training expense, and loss of customer continui- ty. Workers are more concerned now, they should be, with their futures. Social Security is only the first step in a solid program. It is an escapable and unfor- tunate fact that the majority of us are wishful thinkers—we go merrily along believing in a genie who will wave a magic wand and provide for tomorrow and its needs.
With bleak facts as these, it behooves our industry to do something about it —and this is exactly what MPA proposes to do.
Our Basic Objectives
FIRST, it has to solve retirement’s number one problem, inflation. Fixed dollar retirement plans are at best un- realistic in a progressive and inflation- ary economy such as ours. We felt we needed a plan with built-in possibilities for growth which would hedge against inflation and permit participants to share in the growth of the economy.
SECOND, the plan must provide ade- quate protection against the contingen- cies of deflation, pre-retirement, death, or disability.
THIRD, the plan also had to have built-in flexibility. No single program could possibly answer the varying needs of thousands of individuals.
FOURTH, the plan had to be realistic. It must be within the economic range of every member. Also, it had to be available to the individual employer him- self, if he so desired, without covering his employees.
FIFTH, the plan must be the best pos- Sible in the terms of benefits received.
New MPA Program Is Now Available
Such a plan has been developed and is now available to our industry as an- ther service. “The Balanced Retirement
and Investment Program” has been pat- terned after the same concept used by most large corporations today.
As the name implies, this program is balanced between insured dollars, guar- anteed by Bankers National Life Insur- ance Company of Montclair, New Jersey, and growth dollars, which are invested in Scudder, Stevens and Clark Common Stock Fund managed by one of the old- est and largest investment firms in the nation.
Death and Disability Benefits
Are Included
The plan also provides preretire- ment death and disability benefits plus the opportunity to convert accumulated funds at retirement to a guaranteed life- time income which neither husband nor wife can outlive.
The flexibility of the program is out- standing.
For instance an independent dealer with as little as $30.00 per month avail- able can enroll. On the opposite side of the coin, a dealer with many employees has several options. He can elect to cover only himself or to contribute for his employees. Or, if he felt financially unable to afford the employee contribu- tion, he could still offer his employees these benefits. This would be done through a simple payroll deduction plan which would cost the employer nothing.
Here are some cogent reasons why we believe you will want to think carefully about your own retirement planning the MPA way.
It provides:
(1) The same type of plan offered by
the large corporations (regardless of your size). A guaranteed retirement income, but also the opportunity for small monthly investments on a broad diversification of common stocks. This fund is managed by one of the nation’s most outstanding in- vestment advisors, and with abso- lutely no sales or load charges as normally found in equity invest- ments and mutual funds.

Diabetes, Heart Disease Seen Linked As Factors in Mortality
Recent medical findings indicate that diabetes “may be a third or fourth or even second leading cause of death” in the U.S. today, according to a leading spokesman for the U.S. Public Health Service.
Citing medical research that links heart disease and diabetes as “related diseases,” Dr. Glen W. McDonald, Chief of the Diabetes and Arthritis Program, U.S.P.H.S., called it “misleading to speak of diabetes as the eighth leading cause of death, as it is officially ranked in government mortality statistics.
Addressing the New York Diabetes Association at the Donnell Library Cen- ter, Dr. McDonald noted that heart dis- ease is the “number one cause of death in the U.S. population,” and suggested that “a great many more of these deaths from heart disease in the so-called ‘nor- mal’ population involve diabetes than is indicated.”
“We have known for a long time,” Dr. McDonald said, “that diabetics also have vascular complications.” But it was not until 1957 that University of Michigan researchers discovered that among sup- posed non-diabetics with five different kinds of vascular disease, “abnormally high blood sugar levels showed up with significant frequency.”
Dr. McDonald stressed the importance of this finding by pointing out that “a high blood sugar level in an individual— whether a known diabetic or not, and whether positively diagnostic or not— may well be a most important factor predicting the probability of heart dis- ease, even of a heart attack.”
Clues provided in this U. of Michigan study led to a burst of research into the correlations between diabetes and car- diovascular disease. The results of much of this work are now appearing in medi- cal publications for the first time.
The Maryland Pharmacist
In one such study cited by Dr. Mc- Donald, tests were performed on sup- posedly non-diabetic patients with ar- teriosclerosis. “In 46% of these patients, the test results were in the diabetic range,” Dr. McDonald said. “In the con- trol group of hospital patients without heart problems of any sort, only 10% of the results were abnormal.”
Another study showed the prevalence of clinical diabetes to be five times high- er in cases of coronary thrombosis than in the general normal population. Other research has revealed that abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the blood, hypertension and obesity are all com- mon characteristics of both diabetes and heart disease.
“An intensified program of case-find- ing is clearly called for in this circum- stance,” Dr. McDonald said. He stressed the importance of identifying early or so-called “mild” diabetics “before they become obviously and overtly sick” in the hope that early treatment will re- tard or lessen the complications. “Dia- betes Week is an excellent time for us to re-dedicate ourselves to the search for these hidden diabetics,” Dr. McDonald said. During Diabetes Week, a national effort is made to encourage people— especially those over 40, overweight, or related to a known diabetic—to be tested for diabetes by their physicians or through the local screening program.
Diabetes can be identified at a rela- tively early stage by means of a “glucose tolerance test” which measures sugar levels in the blood. For mass screening purposes, a blood test one to two hours } after a meal is considered the best } method now widely used. Urine tests are inadequate for this purpose. However, Dr. McDonald pointed out that damage to the small blood vessels often pre-dates defective carbohydrate metabolism as a recognizable sign of diabetes, and that today such damage can often be identi- fied by a physician.

The Maryland Pharmacist
Maryland's Medical Assistance Program
Administered by the State Health Department under the provisions of Title XIX (Social Security Act, 1965 Amendments) and financed by State and Federal funds.
Introduction
Maryland has offered a medical care program for the indigent and medically indigent for over 20 years. With the ad- vent of P.L. 89-97, the Social Security Amendments of 1965, came the oppor- tunity to obtain Federal matching funds under Title XIX of the Act for most of those medical services and to extend Maryland’s program to more people. To qualify for these matching Federal funds, certain requirements in conformance with stipulations of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare had to be met.
The State Health Department was designated as the single State agency to develop a plan for submission to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and to administer the program in cooperation with the Department of Public Welfare, the Department of Men- tal Hygiene, and others.
In essence, the State’s various medical care programs including the hospital in- patient, hospital outpatient, home and office care, and other services are now united under one MEDICAL ASSIST- ANCE program. Whereas the medical care programs in the counties of Mary- land differed somewhat from Baltimore City’s program, there is now a uniform program for the entire state. The major change is in Baltimore City, where previ- ously service had not been provided for medically indigent individuals; this group is now eligible under the expanded program.
The 1966 State Legislature changed the income levels being used for the deter- mination of eligibility for medical as- sistance, making more people eligible in the counties as well as in Baltimore City. This was to become effective July 1, 1966. It is estimated that perhaps twice as many people, or approximately 175,000 more Marylanders, making a to-
tal of approximately 350,000, could be eligible under the plan recently ap- proved by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and in operation since July 1, 1966.
A more detailed plan is being sub- mitted to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Determinations and definitions in a few instances are pending. Amendments to the plan will be made from time to time.
While services provided to indigent and medically indigent recipients under the program remain basically the same, changes in administrative procedures have been necessary and these have caused some confusion, particularly for local health and welfare departments and for “vendors of services,’ such as physicians, hospital administrators, pharmacists, etc.
A major cause of confusion, particu- larly for the public has been the term “Medicare” applied to the Social Security legislation of 1965. “Medicare,” as the term is most frequently used, applies only to Title XVIII of the Act—a Fed- eral program of Health Insurance for the Aged, administered by the Social Se- curity Administration. Under this, peo- ple 65 or over, if they have applied for and received their card, may participate in the basic plan—Part A, the Hospital Insurance program. Part B, which is optional and requires payment of $3.00 monthly, is a supplementary medical in- surance plan for these older persons.
It is not surprising that Marylanders would confuse the term MEDICARE, ap- plied to the new Federal Health Insur- ance for the Aged program which went into effect July, 1966, with the term “Medical Care,” the State’s long-stand- ing program for medical assistance to the needy which was revised as of July, 1966. MEDICAID is a term sometimes used to differentiate the program for the
The Maryland Pharmacist
August 1966 747
needy of all ages from MEDICARE for the aged. Officially, MEDICAL ASSIST- ANCE PROGRAM is the term used for Maryland’s own medical care plan for the needy.
The following questions and answers are designed to help identify and to in- terpret the services and procedures ap- plicable to the State’s plan for medical assistance for needy persons under Title XIX. Reference to Title XVIII, the Fed- eral program of Health Insurance for the Aged, will be made only to aid in clarification. For further information re- garding Title XVIII or ‘‘Medicare,” read your Medicare Handbook. Also, Mary- landers may call Blue Cross-Blue Shield. In the Baltimore area the telephone number is 828-1400; those in Prince George’s or Montgomery counties should call Blue Cross-Blue Shield in Washing- ton, D. C., Republic 7-4500.
General — Titles XVIII and XIX — Description of Cards
Q: Is the Maryland Medical Assistance Program a new approach to care for indigent and medically indigent per- sons?
A: No. A medical care program for the indigent and medically indigent per- sons has been administered by the State Health Department in Maryland Since 1945. The present program, which is eligible for matching Fed- eral funds under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, will in effect continue these medical services and make them available to more people.
Q@: Describe the Medical Assistance card issued by the Welfare Department to individuals in Maryland eligible for benefits under the current Medical Assistance program for the needy (Title XIX).
A: It is a large buff colored card. The Welfare Department began issuing this as an identification card as of July 1, 1966, under Maryland’s re- vised program for Medical Assistance supported by State and Federal funds under Title XIX of the Social Se- curity Act. Those holding old medical
care cards issued previously by the health department may continue using them until the expiration date as long as they are still valid. Ven- dors should note carefully the date before supplying drugs or services within the limits of this program.
@:Is Maryland’s Medical Assistance pro- gram called Medicare?
A: No. This term is generally applied to the Health Insurance for the Aged program being administered by the Social Security Administration under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act. This program is supported en- tirely by Federal funds.
@: Describe the card issued by the So- cial Security Administration to indi- viduals eligible for benefits under the Health Insurance for the Aged pro- gram (Title XVIII).
A: It is a white, wallet-sized card with red and blue stripes across the top. This red, white, and blue card does not entitle the recipient to obtain prescription or other drugs in any drug store or pharmacy. For infor- mation regarding benefits under this program, consult your Medicare Handbook which was mailed to all recipients of this card. Also, you may contact Blue Cross-Blue Shield.
@: Is it possible that some persons would qualify for services under both programs and be entitled to both cards?
A: Yes. For example, those 65 and over who have received a red, white, and blue card under the Federal program may also qualify under the State’s program for the indigent or medically indigent and also receive the buff colored card.
: Is this a duplication of services?
: No. The program for the needy com- plements the program for the aged, and the Health Department plan co- ordinates services for the best inter- ests of the individuals and the tax- payers.
@: How does the Maryland Medical As-
sistance program supplement the Fed-
>

August 1966
eral Health Insurance for the Aged program?
: Under the Maryland Medical Assist- ance program, the State assumes the responsibility for certain co-insurance and deductible items for needy per- sons 65 and over receiving care through the Federal Health Insur- ance for the Aged program:
Under Part A, hospitalization insur- ance, the State pays the first $40 (deductible) for each spell of illness and 20% of the costs for hospitaliza- tion (co-insurance) which are not covered by the Federal program. For those covered by Part B, the supplementary medical insurance, the State pays the first $50 per calen- dar year and the 20% additional cost for physicians’ services except that fees for physicians’ services rendered in the hospital are not paid at the present time.
: In general, what does the Maryland Medical Assistance program provide?
: Inpatient care in a general hospital; nursing home care; physician’s serv- ices in office, in home, or in a nursing home; outpatient hospital services; prescribed drugs and medical sup- plies; certain dental services; and, as available, certain home health serv- ices. In addition, the program in- cludes services to persons 65 years of age or over in State tuberculosis and mental hospitals.
Eligibility
: Where do you apply for certification of eligibility under Maryland’s Medi- cal Assistance program?
: Your local welfare department. The welfare department determines eligi- bility according to a prescribed for- mula.
: How do you qualify for the Maryland Medical Assistance program?
: All persons who are recipients of State welfare aid are eligible.
: Are persons other than public as- sistance recipients eligible for the Medical Assistance program?
A:
>
The Maryland Pharmacist
Yes. People who are self-supporting but who lack resources for necessary medical care may qualify as “medi- cally indigent” and be eligible for services under the Maryland Medical Assistance program. Resources such as insurance and bank accounts are taken into consideration, when ap- plicable. Beginning July 1, 1966, the Welfare Department determines eligi- bility for the medically indigent. Pre- viously, it was the responsibility of the Health Department.
: Is this program only for people 65
and over?
: No. All age groups are eligible in
Maryland.
: Are the members of the family certi-
fied separately?
: No. Members of a family are certi-
fied as eligible on the same applica- tion.
: What are the financial criteria? : The applicant must qualify within
the income scale approved by the Maryland Legislature. For persons living at home, the scale is $1800 annual income for one person, $2280 for two persons, $420 for each addi- tional family member. A person with more than this amount of income may be eligible, depending on the amount of his medical expenses.
: Is there a residency requirement for
individuals making application under the Maryland Medical Assistance pro- gram?
: No. If he resides in Maryland, he
may apply; no length of residency is required.
: If a person is eligible under provi-
sions of Health Insurance for the Aged (Medicare), can he receive as- sistance under the Maryland Medical Assistance program?
: Yes. If a person 65 or over is in-
digent or medically indigent, he may also receive medical assistance for those expenses covered under the Maryland Medical Assistance _ pro- gram which are not covered by Medi- care.

@: If an individual who has been certi-
fied as eligible for medical assistance under the Maryland Medical Assist- ance program requires care while temporarily out of the state, is care provided?
: Care may be provided to certified Maryland residents while they are temporarily out of the state insofar as the care is included in the Mary- land Medical Assistance program.
: Once an individual has been certified as eligible for the Maryland Medical Assistance program, is this certifica- tion permanent?
: No. It is not permanent. Eligibility is for a period of not more than six months; however, if the individual continues to meet the qualifications, he automatically could receive a new card for an additional six months.
: If an individual is dissatisfied with the decision of the Department of Welfare, what can he do about it?
: If he has been denied the opportunity to apply, or if he thinks action has not been taken on an application for Medical Assistance within a reason- able time, or if he is not satisfied with the decision of the local welfare de- partment about his eligibility or with the availability of medical services, he may appeal to the Maryland State Department of Health. Forms for re- questing an appeal may be obtained from the local health or welfare de- partments or from the State Depart- ment of Health.
Any person who feels that he has been unfairly dealt with because of race, color, or natural origin should notify the State Department of Health or, if he still feels his case has not been fairly dealt with, he may complain directly to the Office of Equal Health Opportunity, Public Health Service, U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Room 5419 HEW Building, South, Fourth and C Streets, S.W., Washington, D. C. 20201. He must file the complaint

Drugs and Supplies
Q: Are eyeglasses provided? A: The State Health Department pro-
vides eyeglasses for the indigent and medically indigent who are under age 18 or have had a cataract operation. At present, the State does not receive Federal matching funds for this item. Funds are extremely limited and the assistance of outside organizations in supplying eyeglasses is encouraged. After other resources have been ex- hausted, eyeglasses may be provided but each case must be authorized in advance on an individual basis by the local health officer.

pensed the same as any other type prescription?
: No. Prescriptions for antibiotics are
limited to a maximum supply for ten days on one prescription, and no re- fills are authorized.
: Can a physician prescribe drugs with-
out preauthorization in all cases?
: No. The physician writing the pre-
scription is responsible for request-

2) antibiotics are for periods in ex- cess of ten days;
3) drugs are for treatment of any form of tuberculosis;
4) oral vitamins are for patients over six years of age; 5) medical supplies are for Medical
Assistance patients in nursing homes.

August 1966 755
May I walk into a dentist’s office and receive any care that I need?
No. First, the dentist must be par- ticipating in the Maryland Medical Assistance program and willing to accept you as a patient. Second, prior to receiving dentures your condition must be evaluated by the local health officer. When he concurs that dentures are required, he must authorize this care and will inform your dentist. You should seek an appointment with a participating dentist, even in case of emergency.
: How is the dentist paid for dental
services?
: The dentist is required to complete
the State Health Department report and invoices MS5, thus indicating the services rendered, and forward this report to the State Health Depart- ment, 301 West Preston Street, Balti- more, Maryland 21201.
Home Health Care
: Who may receive home health care? : Those who have a Maryland Medical
Assistance card may receive skilled nursing services and one or more of the following: occupational, physical, or speech therapy, social services, or home-health aide services if pre- scribed by their physician.
: Are services available in all com-
munities at the present time?
: No. The program is developing, but
not yet complete. Limited public health nursing services are available in all communities to care for pa- tients in their homes in accordance with physicians’ orders where Home Health Agency services are not yet available. Consult your local health department for details.
: What services are available through
the local health department clinics?
: Maternal and child health services;
crippled children’s services; infant and preschool services; community services for the mentally retarded; and community services for the men- tally ill are available in clinics in the local health departments. Also,
>
chest clinics for tne care of tubercu- losis are readily available. All local health departments will ensure treat- ment for venereal disease.
Vendors
: Who are vendors? : Vendors are physicians, pharmacists,
dentists, hospitals, nursing homes, and other suppliers of materials and services who agree to participate in the Maryland Medical Assistance plan and who meet standards and require- ments. This includes compliance under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
: Where should vendors send the re-
ports and invoices for payment?
: All reports and invoices—with the ex-
ception of those listed below — should be mailed directly to the State Department of Health, 301 West Preston Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201, for payment. Local health de- partments are no longer involved in the payment of vendors.
Invoices for hospitalized patients who are 65 years of age and older should be sent to the fiscal intermediary (Maryland Hospital Service, Inc.), using the Federal form and placing on it the welfare digit number as well as the Social Security number.
: From whom are additional forms ob-
tained?
: Local health departments will requisi-
tion forms from the State Health De- partment.
Vendors will requisition forms from the respective local health depart- ments.
Hospitals in the City of Baltimore may requisition forms directly from the State Health Department.
: How will local health departments
know which residents are certified by the Department of Welfare?
: Plans are being developed to provide
the local health department with a list of certified individuals on a monthly basis, to be updated weekly. There is no scheduled date for dis- tribution of the first listing.

Prince Georges-Montgomery County Pharmaceutical Associaiion
The latest public relations activity of the Prince Georges-Montgomery Pharma- ceutical Association is its Information Center. This involves the use of record- ings on telephone equipment. An un- listed telephone number is used. In a letter to the membership two gummed labels were included, telling the mem- bers of the use of the service. That mes- sages would be placed on the telephone daily with the latest flashes concerning pharmacy and community activity. Each member was asked to call the Informa- tion Center daily. The response and ac- ceptance has been tremendous. In this manner we can communicate with the membership promptly, make them feel a part of the Association by having them call daily, imparting to them news of importance, as it happens. The Philadel- phia Association of Retail Druggists started this activity and we believe that we are the second pharmaceutical asso. ciation to have this extra benefit to the association membership. We stress this as an activity to the membership, wherein they can be kept abreast of the times.
Through our committee on Careers in Pharmacy we have brought to the atten. tion of high school seniors and their guidance councellors opportunity in pharmacy. Through the cooperation of the School of Pharmacy of the Univer- sity and our own members, we have been able to present speakers before high school students Career Days.
This year we have a newly established committee, Speakers Committee. To this committee all requests for speakers be- fore civic groups such as P.T.A., service clubs and you name it will be referred to. The committee is well manned and able to speak on a variety of subjects covering the field of pharmacy that will be presented in an understandable way, enhancing the prestige of Pharmacy.
As a public service through our June 1966 issue of the “Bi-County Pharmacist,” we have called to the attention of our
membership the Water Quality Act of 1965 citing the need of establishing a national policy for the prevention, con- trol and abatement of .water pollution. Urged that we participate responsibly and effectively in the formation and carrying out of the policy of securing pure water supplies.
In the same issue was a State legisla- tive roundup of 1966 legislation, high- lighting enacting legislation affecting us as pharmacists and citizens of the State of Maryland.
We have urged public and association support of the Boggs Bill H.R. 14597 to amend Title 18, Section B of the Social Security Act to include drugs requiring a doctor’s prescription under the volun- tary supplementary medical insurance program. Our secretary has been in touch with our representatives in Con- gress, receiving assurances from them that they would support the Bill. Letters of commendation were written to Rep- resentatives Boggs and Samuel N. Frie- del who introduced a companion bill.
At our recent Installation Dinner, we had as our guest speaker Edward R. Tully, Special Agent in Charge of the Baltimore Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This was a de- parture from having speakers within pharmacy. Mr. Tully’s topic was “Silent Witnesses” and he told the association about the workings of the FBI and how we could assist them since we were practically a law enforcing group as related to Public Health.
We are participating in programs sponsored by Retarded Children agencies of our counties. Also we are cooperating with the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation and the Heart Association of Maryland in sponsoring a program of continuing prophylaxis for patients with rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. We have been informed by the local chapters of the Heart Association that 100% of the drug stores in our counties have signified cooperation!

As a health service to our membership, we are urging our members to look after their own health: publicizing that they should have an annual check-up by their physicians and undertake a physi- cal fitness program.
As an association service, we have published a list of zoning classification as it pertains to land in our counties. After all most of us own our own homes and other real estate properties and now when one sees a zoning sign appli- cation or reference we can understand the situation more readily.
In the field of continuing pharmaceuti- cal education, the association has sup- ported the annual seminars given by the School of Pharmacy, University of Mary- land. This Seminar is dedicated to the memory of Robert L. Swain, an out- standing Maryland pharmacist and edu- cator. Also seminars sponsored by the College of Pharmacy, Howard Univer- sity, Washington, D. C. and by the PI Chapter of the Alpha Zeta Omega Phar- maceutical Association (AZO), Wash- ington, D.C.
For the enlivement of our members, we have issued a call for the formation of bowling teams.
Poison Control Week this year has been most successful. In cooperation with the Prince Georges County Junior Chamber of Commerce under the chair- manship of Martin Neuer (one of our members and a member of the Jaycees), we participated in a Clean Up of Medi- cine Chests campaign in conjunction with Poison Control Week. Empty bar- rels and signs were furnished to each participating store, urging everyone to go through their medicine chests to dis- card old prescriptions and medicines. As an incentive the stores were asked to make a modest contribution to Mental Retardation Groups of our counties. Radio and television spots, interviews were arranged. The cooperation we were given by NARD was appreciated. Local newspapers were enlisted in publicizing the event.
The Maryland Pharmacist This year, for the first time, we have placed and named community activity committees on a year round basis. For instance, Poison Prevention, Pharmacy Week, Community Health Week and oth- ers. This will permit the committees to have enough time to accomplish their activities, no last minute appointments and ensuing work. For it takes time and perseverance to arrange the necessary details to put over a successful event.
The Association has been active in en- couraging its membership to establish Health Information Centers in their stores. Of special interest presently is Medicare and, with the assistance of the NARD, has provided information that enables the pharmacist to provide con- cise information concerning Medicare.
Our meetings and programs are strong, effective and timely. Topics provided are of interest. We hold 8 meetings a year, two of which are devoted to a scholar- ship dinner dance and installation dinner dance, one in the fall and the installation during the month of April. Some of the topics of recent meetings: Congressman Carlton Sickles of Maryland, a repre- sentative of Social Security Administra- tion and Joseph Cohen, Washington Rep- resentative of the NARD discussed the overall aspects of Medicare. James E. Allen, president of the Henry B. Gilpin Company on “The Better Half of Phar- macy”, John H. McHugh, Director of Professional Services, Peoples Drug Stores, on “Pharmacy in Great Britain after 17 years of National Health Serv- ice’. At one of our meetings we had the staff of the Washington Office of the NARD present. Mr. William E. Woods, associate Washington Representative, dis cussed “The Pharmacists’ Future under Medicare.” “Marketing Prescription Drugs,” a SKF film. A panel round table discussion participated in by the mem- bership. Dr. Richard Hill, Poison Con- trol Branch Division of Accident Preven- tion U. S. Public Health Service on “Pharmacist Role in Poison Prevention.” We heard our Board of Pharmacy Sec- retary Dr. F. S. Balassone discuss ‘‘Mary-
The Maryland Pharmacist
land Pharmacy Laws.” Dr. Kenneth Euler, assistant professor of Pharma- cognosy, School of Pharmacy, Univer- sity of Maryland, brought us up to date on “New Antibiotics.”
We are encouraging the placement of pharmacists as members of all commit- tee and groups concerned with the pub- lic health and allied agencies. We feel that pharmacy should be included and lend a hand. We feel that we are knowl- edgable people, being in daily contact with the community and aware of their needs.
The association was active in assist- ing in the repeal of the excise tax on cosmetics, leather goods, toiletries, etc.
We maintain an active interest in the Maryland State Department of Health, Bureau of Medical Services and Hos- pitals, County Medical Care Program which is certainly a most important community activity. Through our repre- sentatives, we have maintained contact, making suggestions when deemed desir- able. Our membership is kept informed of the pharmacy policies and as times goes on the advent of Medicare this pro- gram assumes importance.
The association is interested in setting up American Red Cross First Aid Courses for the membership.
Our Civil Defense Committee has been expanded to include national disasters. One of our local high schools will have a Civil Defense course starting in Sep- tember. We have asked our membership to take advantage of the program.
A letter went to all hospital adminis- trators in our area regarding prescrip- tion writing by staff physicians. The re- sponse was very poor, but we feel that it is a stepping stone. At least they are aware of the association. Recently Sec- retary Reznek was in touch with Dr. Jensen of the Prince Georges General Hospital. Dr. Jensen is in charge of the Medical Education of the hospital’s resi- dent and intern physicians. Rubber name stamps are being provided by the hos- pital for the doctors, thus solving a problem which doctor to contact if need

be. Also greater care will be taken in the writing of prescriptions, especially under the county medical care program. We hope to be able to attain this degree of cooperation with other hospitals. Inci- dentally Prince Georges General Hos- pital is connected with 13 other hos- pitals in a phone hook up and we are hopeful of spreading pharmaceutical in- formation.
In our Presidential message of Jan- uary 1966, our then President Richard D. Parker advocated that we continue our cooperation with Poison Prevention Week to assist in educating the public as to the hazards of poisons and other matters of public health as part of the public relations obligation of the phar- macist. Continue our efforts to assure the free choice of pharmacy in Medicare, Public Welfare programs, Veterans Ad- ministration and other governmental, in- stitutional and private services to the public through community pharmacies. Continuation of our scholarship pro- gram, to help induce and encourage Cca- reers in pharmacy. Continue to act as health centers of the community and lead in making available Medicare and other health data. Continue to urge that pharmaceutical services by community pharmacies be included by amendment under the supplementary Medicare Pro- gram. Membership urged to participate in local, state and national health pro- grams.
Summing up this report, Secretary Reznek feels that the association is dis- charging and fulfilling its obligation to the membership, to look to the overall needs of its members, to provide infor- mation and action promptly when need- ed. That a well informed pharmacist and association is an asset to the community.

Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association
As the result of the success of the An- nual Mid-Atlantic Drug, Cosmetic and Gift Show, sponsored by the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Associa- tion, it was decided to proceed with an enlarged format for August 1967.
Bernard B. Lachman, Chairman of the 1966 “Drug Show” expressed his satis- faction at the renewed interest of both exhibitors and buyers. He said the goals of the Show had been achieved, refer- ring to the opportunity for manufac- turers and suppliers to exhibit new pro- ducts and services. At the same time, the Show helps pharmacists to remain com- petitive.
The 1966 Show was held at the War- ren House in Pikesville and featured many outstanding displays and merch- andise offers. Highlight was the award of a Volkswagen through Calvert Drug Company.
For the 1967 Show, the main ballroom of Blue Crest North, as well as the War- ren House banquet roms, will be avail- able.
Manufacturers and distributors are urged to apply for a selection of choice space. Anthony Padussis has been ap-
pointed as Chairman of the 1967 “Drug Show”. Mr. Padussis announced that be- cause of the large attendance of buyers at the 1966 Show, there is greater inter- est on the part of exhibitors to take space at the “BMPA Drug Show”.

APhA Tells Congress Why Profession Opposes Physician
Ownership
The profession of pharmacy opposes physician ownership of pharmacies be- cause the highest quality of pharma- ceutical service can be provided most economically only when pharmacists are free to develop, manage and control their own professional practices.
This was the point made by the Ameri- can Pharmaceutical Association when its Executive Director, William S. Apple, testified before the Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly of the Commit- tee on the Judiciary of the U.S. Senate. The Subcommittee concluded two weeks of ownership hearings.
“Rebates, percentage leases, physician ownership of repackaging firms and phy- sician ownership of pharmacies are all cut from the same cloth—a shroud which covers up practices which are inimical to the public interest. They are all unethical and should be so branded,” Dr. Apple told Senator Philip A. Hart, Subcommittee Chairman, and others present at the hearing.
Referring to efforts by the national
professional society of pharmacists to resolve the physician-ownership problem with the American Medical Association, Dr. Apple assured the Subcommittee that the efforts will continue since the “professions have the primary responsi- bility of protecting the public interest in these professional matters.” Dr. Apple traced the history of physi- | cian ownership, noting that it was a prime interprofessional problem 100 years ago, and that the code of ethics of the APhA has since 1852 prohibited physician-pharmacist clandestine ar- rangements.
“Some physicians have found ‘owner- ship’ a... sophisticated way of profiting from their prescribing activities .. .’”’ Dr. Apple reported. “Imprinted prescription blanks, coded prescription orders, direct telephone lines and other contrivances virtually assure that all patients of the
August 1966 763
physician-owner will patronize the phar- macy of the physician’s choice. The patient is an unknowing captive of a monopolistic design.”
Dr. Apple then showed, by example, how physician group practices in clinic facilities could create arrangements be- tween physicians and pharmacists under which the patient is exposed to probable economic exploitation. He noted that “business management groups” are en- couraging physician ownership of phar- macies to amortize the cost of a group medical building by including a phar- macy, convincing physicians that phar- macy profits can carry the building cost load. This group has most effectively op- posed efforts by AMA leaders to resolve the interprofessional problem of physi- cian ownership, he said.
If ownership is unethical for one, then it is unethical for both physician and pharmacist, Dr. Apple pointed out. Because of this, APhA has been meet- ing with AMA to develop a physician- pharmacist code of understanding that if adopted nationally would spur state and local action.
“This Committee will have performed a most useful function .. . if the Con-
gress ... makes it perfectly clear that efforts ... to enforce a code of under- standing ... in the public interest will
not be a violation of the anti-trust laws.”
Dr. Ralph Shangraw, Associate Pro- fessor at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy recently presented a lecture on timed release pharmaceuti- cals to the professional staff of the U.S. Public Health Services Hospital in Bal- timore. The lecture was the first pre- sentation in the area of pharmacy to be included in the Basic Science Series of lectures held weekly for physicians, pharmacists, dentists, nurses and physi- cal therapists. Dr. Shangraw reviewed the theory, formulation and manufac- ture of sustained release dosage forms, and pointed out individual as well as overall advantages and disadvantages.

Yes, Insurance is a Problem
There is no doubt about it.
It is true that several kinds of your insurance, other than life, health, hos- pitalization and retirement are a real problem.
Likely you, along with most of us, have been tempted to kick every in- surance agent out of the place and chuck the whole idea. Who needs insur- ance anyway?
An insurance policy is expensive, hard to read, and almost impossible to fold back into the envelope. One newspaper columnist recently called it a “lot of bafflegab, filled with doubletalk and im- penetrable murk”. The jokes about the fine print are legion.
However !
Don’t give up your insurance!
Please do read the policy, even though it be complicated and confusing. Ask your agent to explain it in detail. He will be glad to prepare an outline of your coverage, in writing if you want. Such is a part of his job in serving you.
Your insurance policy is a contract between you and the insurance company. It is possibly your most important busi- ness or personal document. Therefore, you must understand it and have a general idea of its terms and provisions.
You must preserve it carefully. Keep it in a safe place, available when needed for reference. Do not keep your store policy at the store, nor your home in- surance at home. Keep the policy away from the premises, so that it will not be destroyed if the premises are destroyed.
However, if the policy is lost or de- stroyed, from whatever cause, do not be dismayed. A copy is available from your agent and from the insurance com- pany. Even when the policy is lost in a fire or other catastrophe, you are still protected and a copy will be provided.
Actually, the policy you keep is just for your own information and for reference when needed.
Admittedly, the policy is involved and complicated in composition and arrange- ment. It has to be to provide you with the coverage desired. Its provisions have been revised and reviewed frequently and every attempt has been made to simplify its arrangement into its most understandable form. Its terms have been construed by the courts over many years to better define what is intended. Whenever any provision is found to be subject to different interpretations, or is ambiguous, the courts will construe it in favor of the policyholder.
Practically every insurance policy con- tains a “Liberalization Clause” for your protection. This provides that whenever the standard policy or forms are revised to extend the coverage, to improve the wording or to grant additional protec- tion, your policy will also contain these more liberal provisions. This is impor- tant to you and valuable, especially when you consider that most policies are written for three years, during which time changes may develop in the stand- ard forms.
Policy forms and terms are standard- ized for use by practically all insurance companies. This is closely regulated by the various state insurance departments, for the protection of policyholders. You are thus guaranteed that all licensed insurance companies will provide uni- form coverage under standard forms. The amounts of coverage and the vari- ous kinds of insurance to be provided are not so regulated, so as to permit you to determine for yourself what per- ils and hazards you wish to insure.
Some coverages, however, are auto- matically combined in the standard forms so as to be included without question and at no additional cost. For

instance, the standard fire policy, with- out any endorsements or additions, will automatically cover damage by lightning. The Extended Coverage Endorsement, which is usually added to a fire policy, provides coverage on damage by wind, hail, riot, falling objects, automobiles, smoke and other such hazards. These matters are included in the standard form. Burglary coverage also takes care of the damage done by the burglars in breaking and entering. There are many other examples.
Your insurance policy will set out in detail and in understandable wording what must be done when a loss occurs. This provision is clearly headed and designated so that you may easily locate it and follow its instruction. The prin- cipal instruction will always be “to no- tify the company” as soon as possible. This can be done direct to the company or to an agent of the company. The agent’s name and address will appear on the policy. Then the other instruction contained in this provision must be fol- lowed. In this you will be assisted by the agent, company and likely by an adjuster. From this point the determina- tion of the amount of loss will go for- ward with all parties working together.
Every retail storeowner, like most every homeowner, will carry several kinds of insurance. The problem of de- termining what kinds, how much, where to get it and how to arrange it, is not easily resolved. Here you should call upon professional, expert assistance. You are due such service from any licensed insurance agent who may wish to work with you. This comes to you without obligation and without cost. He is compensated, in most cases, by the insurance company into which he places your coverage. That company will also have seen to his ability and competence. He will have studied diligently and will have passed a state license examination. You can place confidence in him as one who knows his business and who will handle your insurance problems with integrity.
In consultation with this professional insurance agent, you will develop your own ideas of the insurance which you will need to provide you with the pro- tection desired, against the hazards and permits to which you are subject, at a cost which you wish to pay. There are some lines of insurance which are a practical necessity, some lines are pure luxury, some are in a fringe class, nice to have, but not at all mandatory.
All of this can be considered in a meeting with your insurance agent. Each kind of insurance, as well as amounts, arrangements and other details will then be brought to your attention. A discus- sion of such in this article would be far too lengthy to be worthwhile. Future articles can consider some of these points.
The community pharmacist is espe- cially fortunate in having available to him a number of insurance companies, represented by expert agents, which spe- cialize in pharmacy and _ professional pharmacist insurance. These companies have many years of experience in phar- maceutical insurance matters. The cost of their service is usually well below that of other companies, although cost alone is not nearly as important as is their true usefulness to you in making their knowledge available. The repre- sentatives of these druggist companies are often registered pharmacists them- selves, or if not, are well trained and experienced in being of assistance to you. Most pharmacists now make use of one or the other of these companies and find real advantage in so doing. You should investigate if you do not now use their services.
There will be future articles on drug- store insurance which will discuss some of the details of the various kinds of coverage. These will cover, among other things, the advantages and disadvantages of the newer package policies on drug- stores. Loss adjustments will be re- viewed, covering fires, windstorms, riots,
The Maryland Pharmacist
burglary and the like, as will other subjects.

Editorial......
As the year draws to a close it is almost inevitable that we seek to review the past year and at the same time it is incumbent upon us to try to look ahead.
During 1966 pharmacists began to feel the results of expanded state and federal programs which involve health care.
The state medical care programs for the indigent, medically indigent, aged, dependent children and the blind are now under the Maryland State Medical Assistance Program. This overall program is administered under federal guidelines of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as authorized by Titles 18 and 19 of the Social Security Amendments of 1965. Title 18 is known as “Medicare” and Title 19 as “Medicaid”’.
The expanded programs and the taking over of the Baltimore City program by the State on July 1 resulted in a great deal of confusion regarding policies, delay in payments and partial payments.
The pharmacist representatives on the official state bodies and the Association have been deeply and continuously involved in the many facets of this program. The Executive Secretary is devoting considerable time and effort to the many problems developing out of these governmental programs which now affect so many pharmacists.
It is important to note that as a result of these efforts the Maryland Pharma- ceutical Association was able to arrange for immediate advance payment to pharmacists awaiting reimbursement until the processing of prescriptions submitted can be completed.
Great progress has been made in developing equitable pharmacy policies and in obtaining proper remuneration for pharmacy services. The prospects for con- tinued progress in 1967 are excellent.
As the various provisions of federal medicare go into effect you will be repre- sented and you will be kept informed through meetings, seminars and bulletins.
At the same time the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association is giving great attention to developing a prescription pre-payment plan for the state, and in im- proved pharmacy practices in the following areas: nursing homes, hospitals, volun- tary health agencies and clinics.
Pharmacy legislation, inter-professional liaison with the health profession, and public relations are also of high priority. This year a professional public relations firm has been retained to help project the contributions of pharmacy in Maryland to the public health and welfare.
This ambitious program only touches on the multitude of problems your state professional society accepts as its responsibilities. Every effort will be made to mobilize all of the human, organizational and material resources of pharmacy in order to accomplish our goals for the profession and for the public’s health requirements.

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members:
At this time I would like to present to you the following propositions: “Unity is Strength” “There is strength in numbers” “Action speaks louder than words”
Let us discuss these propositions as they pertain to our membership in Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association. We in the MPA are striving to uplift the image of Pharmacy to the public. We have engaged the firm of Shecter and Levin as our Public Relations advisors to promote the image of Pharmacy to the stature that is worthy of every member of our profession. This process demands a unity in our action and thinking, thereby giving us, a true profession, the strength in our ability to act for our own benefit. We must be unified so that we may be able to promulgate rules and regulations that will control the distribution and use of drugs. We need your help by being active and productive members. You can help by soliciting your friends and neighbors who are registered pharmacists to become members of MPA and with this action we arrive at the second proposition;—‘‘There is strength in numbers.”
In Maryland we have a possible membership of about 1500 pharmacists, and yet we have only passed the 700 mark. It is incumbent for each and every one of us to bring into the state association those pharmacists that do not realize the value | of MPA. By having a large majority of our pharmacists as members, we are in a | better position to procure legislation to better our position in our communities.
Our third proposition, “Action speaks louder than words,” is brought to your attention because, as members of this Association, you should actively support its programs by being a member of some committee and showing your particular com- munity that you think highly of your profession by actively engaging in the running of your association. We need young men with fresh ideas and energy to implement these ideas. Don’t sit back and let the other fellow do it. It is your profession—you are important. Make it important to you.
Sincerely,
MORRIS R. YAFFE President

Life of L. M. Kantner as a Pharmacist
By ROBERT O. WOOTEN *
L. M. KANTNER
Dr. Leahmer Mead Kantner was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia, December 26, 1886. He finished high school in his own town at the age of seventeen and was Offered work in a pharmacy at $5.00 per month for six months, and in two months, due to interest in the work, was raised to $8.00 per month.
Laborers at that time received 50c or 75c per day, carpenters $1.00 or $1.25 for a 10 or 11 hour day, physicians re- ceived 50c for an office visit and $1.00 for house calls. A good-looking pair of shoes cost $5.00, and one could enjoy a movie for 5c. In 1966 Dr. Kantner refers to the difference in cost of living with that of 1903 and commented that as he had practically no obligations in 1903, he spent his salary for pleasure and “nick-nacks”,
He remained in his first employment for two years and then accepted a posi- tion at $25.00 per month, but as money was not an incentive for him, he thought it expedient to make a connection with

a some-what professional pharmacy with no soda fountain or side-line to any extent, the business to a marked degree limited to prescriptions, drugs and sick- room supplies, and at the request of the proprietor aided him in having the neighboring drug stores closed on Sun- day from 1 P.M. to 6 P.M.
Recognizing the advantage of a col- lege education in Pharmacy, Leahmer M. Kantner in 1907 disregarded the ad- vice of his employer, became a student in the School of Pharmacy and received the diploma of Phar. D. in 1909, at which time the school required four years of practical experience.
He accepted a position in Charleston, W. Va., but returned to Baltimore after four or five months to secure a position in his adopted city. This position was with Andrew Heck, who conducted a pharmacy at Patterson Park and Ash- land Avenues where the customers were mostly of foreign birth, knowing little English, and a young man in the front of the store acted as an interpreter.
Several months later Dr. Kantner ac- cepted a position with W. L. Campbell, whose pharmacy was located at Park and North Avenues. At that time—1900— that was one of the finest sections of the city and patrons included judges, both from the United States Courts and the Supreme Bench of Baltimore, as well as Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Officers, professors from the Johns Hop- kins University and leaders of commer- cial enterprises. It was the duty of Dr. Kantner to sleep over the store and answer night calls. He recalls the night scenes of providing Sal Hepatica at . A.M. and a call at 8 A.M. for a pre- scription that had been carried for three days when the wife had a sudden attack and was in great pain. He filled the prescription with the thought of charg- ing extra for such early service and was surprised when the husband offered

It stands for quality. Upjohn standards of purity and efficacy in its products are high. We insist on similarly high standards of quality and integrity in the men who represent us. Our company is judged by how well we meet or surpass these marks of excellence.
Next time an Upjohn man calls, notice his alligator bag. It stands for something important: products and selling policies that help preserve your professional and commercial integrity as well as protect your customers’ well-being.

to pay extra for the call. Both of these incidents, and many more, showing willingness to accommodate patrons, brought return customers to the phar- macy and extra money for night service.
In 1915 Mr. Campbell was anxious to open a branch pharmacy, which he lo- cated in the Guilford-Manor Apartment at University Parkway and _ Bishop’s Road, one block west of Charles Street and Dr. Kantner became a partner in this store. Mr. Campbell made a trip to New Jersey in 1917, and while waiting for his train to return home, died. This was a terrific shock, losing a friend and a fine gentleman in every sense of the word. The war was on and Dr. Kantner was in Class A, subject to call for serv- ice at any time. With two pharmacies and help almost impossible, it was necessary for Dr. Kantner to arise at 7 A.M. and retire around midnight, seven days a week. Mr. Campbell’s attorney appeared before the Draft Board and secured for Dr. Kantner a more de- ferred class. The Guilford store was sold after six months and Dr. Kantner main- tained the Park Avenue store until 1940. When the flu epidemic broke out all pharmacists were exempted from mili- tary duty.
Dr. Kantner was appointed to the Maryland Board of Pharmacy in 1934 by the late Governor Albert C. Ritchie, and was reappointed by Governors Lane, O’Connor and McKeldin.
In 1940 Aquilla Jackson was appointed Deputy Food and Drug Commissioner, succeeding Dr. Robert L. Swain, and also served as Secretary of the Board of Pharmacy. Mr. Jackson was stricken at his office and died the next day. Dr. Kantner had taken and passed the ex- amination for Deputy Food and Drug Commissioner and was asked to accept the position. Dr. Kantner cited Dr. Rob- ert L. Riley, Chief of Board of Health, as having a rare faculty of knowing how to manage subordinates.
During the period 1940 to 1955 phar- macists were able to secure needed bills from the Maryland Legislature, includ- ing the prohibition and sale of danger- ous drugs recovered from fires, floods, etc., and also penalties for violation of narcotic and other laws. Dr. Kantner remembers a conversation with a Sena- tor from Prince Georges County follow- ing a meeting in the committee room, the Senator complaining that he had been charged $12.00 for twelve tablets for an infection of the nose, and ad- vised the Senator that fifteen years previous such an infection would likely have caused a funeral, following an in- fection of the brain. The effect was that the Senator returned to the committee hearing and supported the bill.
It was the rewarding experience of Dr. Kantner that when the Health De- partment appeared before the Legisla- ture on proposed bills and presented the truth, every consideration was given to the proposed legislation if it was in the interest of public health.
In 1955 when Dr. Kantner decided to retire on October lst and talked the matter over with the Health Commis- sioner Dr. Perry H. Prather, he stated that he would much rather leave the Health Department ‘when you wanted me to stay, than stay when you would rather have me resign.”
Dr. Kantner advocated that pharma- cists should consider the law and abide by it—to look upon law and regulations as guides or rules for the orderly con- duct of operation and to comply with the law in respect to the profession of pharmacy and uphold the character of the pharmacist. From 1940 to 1955 Dr. Kantner was known as a fair and con- scientious Deputy Food and Drug Com- missioner and Secretary of the Mary- land Board of Pharmacy and assisted many pharmacists in the preparation for and the conduct of their profes- sional business. He is still remembered with favor and confidence and wished a long and enjoyable life.

Dr. Kantner has found time to attend the Maryland Institute and enjoys the hobby of painting pictures. He also has enjoyed travelling, not only in the mid- dle west and Canada, but has made two trips abroad, the first included London and Edinburg in 1961, and the second included Holland, Denmark, West and East Berlin.
Dr. Kantner has an envious record in connection with the projects and or- ganizations of pharmacy: active in the American Pharmaceutical Association, member of the Legislative Committee for a number of years, member of the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, President of the Baltimore Branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association, member of the National As- sociation of Retail Druggists, Vice-Presi- dent of District No. 2 Boards and Col- leges of Pharmacy, President of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association in 1932, associated with the Central Atlan-
tic States Food and Drug Officials and the Baltimore Conference of the Food, Drug and Dairy Officials; member of the Rho Chi Society and of the Baltimore Veteran Druggists’ Association; in civic life a Mason, an Elder of Brown Me- morial Presbyterian Church; Torch Club; Vice-President of Park-Royal Improve- ment Association.
In 1953 Dr. Kantner was honored by
election as Honorary President of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association.

Medicare and Pharmacy Services
GEORGE F. ARCHAMBAULT, LL.D., D.Sc. Presented at the Fall Regional Meeting of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, October 13, 1966
My task today is a simple one—that of discussing pharmacy services as out- lined in the Conditions of Participation for Hospitals and Extended Care Fa- cilities under Title 18 ‘Medicare’ — health insurance for those 65 and over.
First though, I have the pleasure as the Pharmacy Liaison Officer to the Office of the Surgeon General to bring to you the personal greetings and best wishes of the Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service— Dr. William Stewart. Those of you who know him as I do, know of his deep and abiding interest in pharmacy and the proper distribution of quality med- ications. I bring also the greetings of Dr, ‘‘Medicare,” Dr. John Cashman of the U. S. Public Health Service’s Divi- sion of Medical Care Administration. This is that segment of the PHS re- sponsible for the professional standards of Medicare.
Let’s you and I now look at the professional responsibilities of pharma- cist under Title 18—Medicare.
Title 18 states that beneficiaries un- der the Act are not to receive sub- standard medical care. They are to be brought onto the ‘main line” of med- ical care whereby free choice of phy- sician, hospital, nursing home and pharmacy, as now prevails in the pri- vate sector of medicine will be their right.
However, having made this state- ment about quality care, I would point out that the health professions and the Nation are indeed worried about our abilities to deliver top quality care. Under Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, Wilbur Cohen, states we are short 150,000 hospital beds and over 300,000 nursing home beds. Dr. Bonnett, Past President of the Ameri-
1. S.I.C.—2834,.—Bureau of Census.
can Hospital Association, is quoted in a U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT of March 7 as follows: “Some 45 per- cent of our hospitals do not have a pharmacist on their staff in spite of the fact that the number of full- or part-time pharmacists in hospitals was 6,000 in 1962.” He estimates 10,000 will be needed by 1975. Mr. Oddis of the American Society of Hospital Pharma- cists predicts 15,000 will be needed by 1975 and of course we are short, ter- ribly short, of other health manpower such as physicians, nurses and others. All professions involved must increase their manpower in the years just ahead and this means active recruitment pro- grams by all of us in the health field.
Drug Utilization in the U.S. and “Medicare” Impact
Let us now look at the drug utiliza- tion picture of this country. We have noted, in recent years, a fairly steady 5 percent annual rise in the use of “ethicals.” It has been reported by authorities that somewhere between 25 to 30 and up percent (some say as low as 16 percent and others as high as 40 percent) of the domestic ethical drug sales are now made to hospitals.
The 1963 ‘Census figures! report a $2,046,843,000 “ethical” volume which is 69.4 percent of all pharmaceutical sales. Using the 30 percent hospital utilization factor, a percentage I per- sonally consider low, $614,052,900 would have been the 1963 volume in ethicals to hospitals. The 1964 Census figures for domestic and exports is cited at 3.141 billion, again up about 5 percent from 1963—and add to this some 150 million dollars for biologicals.
The trend then, with no interfering national upheaval, would appear to be a continuing 5 percent increase—or an increase of some 3-plus million an-
The Maryland Pharmacist
November, 1966 199
nually—but again let’s look, — how about the impact of the prepaid in- surance program for hospital and nurs- ing home care for those 65 and over? What happens to this 5 percent growth factor when this activity comes into full bloom.
Seventeen to 19 million people are now guaranteed paid bills for hospital and specialized nursing care (Extended Care Facilities will follow next January 1). These people, to some extent at least, will more frequently use our pres- ent health facilities. Unquestionably then, the ‘ethical’ drug utilization for diagnosis and treatment by this senior citizen group will also increase.
When we take note that last year, pharmacists dispensed somewhere be- tween 832 million and 965 million pre- scriptions*, and according to Gosselin this year we are already over the bil- lion mark, I am sure we all agree, with 41 plus percent of the Nation’s hos- pitals now without pharmacy service, and soon ito have one on a full- or part- time basis, our role here will surely take us well into the second billion mark per year as Medicare “tools up” and gets underway.
There will be more prescriptions dis- pensed in the community pharmacies of the Nation than ever before as a direct result of “A” of Title 18 of the Social Security Amendments Act of 1965, to say nothing of the impact of the population explosion, Title 19 and the Heart, Stroke and Cancer Act or Regional Medical Centers. These medi- cations, of course, as to community pharmacies will be for those small hospitals and extended care facilities that do not have a full time pharma- cist and pharmacy.
Physician Utilization Trends
Next, let us—in connection with medi- eal care and Medicare, look at some of the trends concerning the role of physic jians in the hospital and clinic atmos-
*Drug Topics—2/7/66, p. 8—Table—Number of Pre- scriptions Filled 1965. American Druggist, 3/14/66, p. 11 —total number of prescriptions filled last year by U. S. pharmacies,
pheres. Here we see two _ significant changes occurring:
1. We nove tian an increasing number of physicians are leaving private practice. Excluding the Federal Government, the statistics are run- ning as follows: in 1931 about 86 percent of all physicians were in private practice; in 1964 private practice accounted for but 63 per- cent of the practitioners, a decrease of some 23 percent in 33 years.”
2. Secondly, we note the increasing number of doctor’s offices in hos- pital financed buildings.?
What has this to do with future of pharmacy and drug distribution? Ten years ago, in answer to that question, I stated at the 5th Annual Rutgers Con- ference that, “In my opinion, this means the American people are insisting more and more on the right to purchase their normal medical care in a better, more convenient and simpler package than in the past; a one-stop package if you please, where they may receive labora- tory work-up X-ray and _ prescription services under the same roof where they are diagnosed and treated.” 4
So, today, I repeat—watch this trend continue to grow, not only in more of our general short-term medical and sur- gical hospitals but also as physician office buildings, and as wings of hospitals or as separate buildings on hospital property. “Medicare” is bound to ac- celerate the tempo of this movement. Doctors, more and more, will be at- tracted to full-time hospital and nurs- ing home positions, as medical centers for stroke, cancer, heart and geriatrics become intertwined with the _ great teaching medical research centers of our universities.
Medicare
One basic point we all need remem-
ber when discussing Medicare is that

in itself, it does not offer medical service of any kind. Simply stated, Medicare is a Federally financed system of paying hospital and medical bills. Our senior citizens choose their doctors who diag- nose and prescribe the treatment and the place of the treatment.
Pharmacists and Medicare
Responsibilities for pharmacists un- der Title 18 of Medicare are really three in number—the first two are but extensions of the present profes- sional roles of community pharmacists as prescription specialists and as ex- perts on convalescent supplies and equipment. The third role is a new role for many community pharmacists —that of pharmacy service and drug consultant to the small hospital and/or nursing home.
Let’s look at the third role first. This is the new, exciting and challenging role for many community pharmacists —that of pharmacy consultant for a fee to small hospitals and extended care facilities. Community pharmacists, interested in this assignment, would do well to discuss this matter with hos- pital pharmacists — for most hospital pharmacists are practicing in hospitals already accredited by the Joint Com- mission and their pharmacies are au- tomatically included in Medicare if their hospital participates. Hospitals and Extended Care Facilities not ap- proved by the Joint Commission must, of course, be surveyed by the State health department and must be in substantial compliance with Medicare’s “Conditions of Participation” to par- ticipate. These for the most part will be those needing consulting services of community or hospital pharmacists on a part-time basis.
Just what does this “Pharmacy Con- sulting Service” consist of—tlet’s spend a few minutes in this area—I’m sure the leads we mention will direct our thinking tto others. First, we advise community pharmacists entering this specialty area to obtain copies of the “Conditions of Participation for Hos-
The Maryland Pharmacist
pitals” and the same for Extended Care Facilities and for Home Health Care Agencies—three texts in all, and that they familiarize themselves with the Pharmacy Conditions, Standards and Factors as spelled out in these documents; also, it would be advisable to obtain from the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, copies of the various Statements of Principles in- volving Pharmacy Service in institu- tions as approved by the American So- ciety of Hospital Pharmacists, American Hospital Association, American Medi- cal Association, and others. One needs to be familiar with the contents of all of these documents if one is to truly serve as an intelligent institutional pharmacist advisor.
Obviously, sound medical and hos- pital administrative practice, in ad- dition to direct prescription service, re- quires the employment of a pharmacist, part-time, to advise the small hospital or nursing home administrator and the physicians and nurses connected with them, on medication utilization and proper pharmacy service in these fa- cilities. Here is where the pharmacist is called upon to develop and imple- ment policies and procedures. This re- quires that the consulting pharmacist, be he from hospital or community practice, in consultation with the med- ical, nursing, and administrative staff develop and issue a Policy and Pro- cedural Manual. We refer, of course, to medication evaluation, selection, pro- curement (an understanding of th how’s of buying quality pharmaceuti- cals in a competitive market), storage, compounding, dispensing and drug ad- ministration, This means the develop- ment of a policy and procedural man- ual, as well as keeping an up-to-date formulary or drug list as developed by the pharmacy and therapeutics drug committee.
Therefore, in this area of consulting work, when the surveyor arrives from the State health department or from the Joint Commission, the surveyor, from now on, will ask to review the

following documents with the Consult- ing Pharmacist and he, of course, must be familiar with their contents.
1. The Pharmacy Procedural and Pol- icy Manual that spells out the why and how procedures to follow in medication controls.
2. The Formulary or Drug List.
3. The Minutes of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee meeting for the last year or two (minimum of four meetings a year are re- quired by the Joint Commission).
4. The Reports of Inspections made by the pharmacist of the Nursing Station Medication Centers.
5. Investigational Drug and Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting proce- dures as well as those for medica- tion errors, and
6. The annual Pharmacy Department Report to the administrator.
For this Consulting Service, the part- time pharmacist, of course, will be paid a fee—based on an hourly, monthly or annual retainer rate. This is a legitimate medicare cost in operating a small hos- pital or nursing home as it is in a large hospital. Normally, it is expected that this consulting service will be furnished by the same community or hospital pharmacist that provides the individual patient and floor stock medications. To use a different pharmacist as a con- sultant is not necessary or required for the P & T Committee, the Utilization Review Committee, the State and Joint Commission Surveyors as well as the fiscal agents will be in continuous audits of the program.
Matters covered under the consulting role will be of interest to you—let me list some items the surveyor from the state health department will be mak- ing inquiry of:
(a) The automatic stop order policy
on drug administration.
(b) Control systems for (1) narcotics, (2) alcohol and spiritous liquors, and (3) barbiturate, amphetamine and certain stimulant and de- pressant medications (medications

Policy on use of medications at patient’s bedside. (Self administra- tion of medications by patients is not permitted except for emer- gency drugs on special orders of patient’s physician or in a predis- charge program under the super- vision of a licensed nurse.)
Emergency drug kits (contents and inspection procedure).
Periodic insection of nursing sta- tion medication centers and type report required to ensure
(1) That external medications are kept apart from internal use drugs.
(2) That biological refrigerator has a thermometer, that tem- perature range of refrigerator is 35.5° to 50° F. (Ice cube section used for smallpox, yellow fever, measles and polio vaccines, if stocked, and of types requiring below freezing storage.) Biologicals may also be kept in a gen- eral use refrigerator provid- ing they are stored in a sepa- rate box.
(3) That there are no outdated medications (antibiotics, bio- logicals, etc.)
(4) That medication cabinets are kept locked.
(5) That Metric-English weight and measure conversion charts are at each nursing station medication center.
(6) That working text references on drug uses, side effects and contraindications, such as the American Hospital Formulary Service of the American So- ciety of Hospital Pharmacists are at nursing station medica- tion centers.

Let’s you and I now bring into closer focus the other two roles that pharma- cists play in Medicare.
1. PRESCRIPTION DISPENSING
The “Conditions of Participation” as to Hospitals and Extended Care Facili- ties are sharp and clear on this point.
Hospitals and Extended Care Facili- ties without the services of full-time pharmacists— that do provide medica- tions for their inpatients as part of their services are to have such prescrip- tions dispensed by a qualified pharma- cist elsewhere (namely at a community pharmacy) and again, the Conditions state,—“The label of each patient’s medi- cation container shall carry the patient’s full name, the physician’s name, the prescription number, the name and strength of the medication, the date of issue, the expiration date—if a time- dated drug, the name and address and telephone number of the pharmacy dis- pensing the medication, the manufac- turer’s name and the lot or control num- ber of the medication,” (not the manu- facturer’s list or catalogue number for the medication). And again—“whenever possible, the pharmacist in dispensing drugs works from the prescriber’s orig- inal order or a direct copy.”
What could be clearer—a hospital or extended care facility that does not have its own full-time pharmacist and phar- macy must comply with the above con- ditions or it will not be in full compli- ance with Medicare’s Conditions of Par- ticipation as promulgated by the Secre- tary of Health, Education, and Welfare as these relate to hopsitals and extended care facilities. These “Conditions of Par- ticipation” are designed to ensure proper health and safety requirements for the patients.

Restrictions and Controls on Prescriptions
Next, let us look to the Medicare Act and the Conditions of Participation to determine what restrictions, if any, are to be placed on the prescriptions we are to dispense from our community and hospital pharmacies under Medicare.
There are restrictions, sensible restric- tions—I am sure you will agree—and they apply to extended care facilities as well as to hospitals. These are:
a. Medications are for inpatients only.
b. Medications are covered only if normally provided as a service by that particular hospital or extended care facility.
c. Medications are covered only if the medication is in the United States Pharmacopeia, National For- mulary, New Drugs, Accepted Dental Remedies, or the United States Homepathic Pharmacopeia or selected under rules of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Drug Committee of the medical staff (The Formulary) of the hospital for use in such hospital.
d. Combination drugs are covered if all the active ingredients, (i.e., the individual drugs constituting the combination) are listed or ap- proved for listing in any of the compendia named. Combination drugs approved by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics or equivalent committee for use in the hospital are covered. (p. 17—Hospital Man ual—HIM-10—6/66).
e. If the medication is not in the Formulary of the hospital, it will not be covered for payment even if in the official compendia. The medical staff, through its formu- lary, has listed those medications it wishes for its rational drug thera- py program. It should be noted though that the P & T Committee may have any drug therapy agent it approves. Conversely, no drug, even if in the compendia, will be covered

One needs to bear in mind the basic function and scope of the P & T Committee, GL TO SCLVGren.ere in the selection or choice of drugs which meet the most effective therapeutic quality standards, and (2) to evaluate ob- jectively clinical data regarding new drugs or agents proposed for use in the hospital.
f. Concerning Extended Care Facili- ties and drugs—one must bear in mind that the definition for drugs in the Act concludes with the state- ment “for use in the hospital.” It would appear then at this place in time—94 days from extended care facility participation in Medicare, that the drugs covered for payment will be (1) those in the official compendia, as indicated in the Act, plus (2) those on the patient’s transfer chart, providing these are included in the hospital’s formu- lary or drug list. As of the mo- ment, it would appear, because of the legal definition for drugs, that only those drugs listed in the P & T Committee’s formulary of the Ex- tended Care Facility that are also in the compendia definition of the Act will be covered for payment. The statutory definition for Ex- tended Care Facilities at Part C, Section 1861(h)(s), the Act in- cludes” such drugs, biologi- cals, supplies furnished for use in the extended care facility, as are ordinarily furnished by such facility for the care and treatment of inpatients.”
Fee Splitting
Reimbursement for the medications is made to the small hospital or nursing home which has paid the community pharmacy. Payment is not made by the fiscal agent (Blue Cross, etc.) directly to the community pharmacy. Further, payment to the hospital or nursing home is based on reasonable costs incurred in

obtaining the medications (drugs and biologicals )—the cost of the medication and container plus a professional fee or markup, providing these represent part of the cost incurred by the facility ren dering service to the beneficiary. Any hospital or nursing home having an agreement with the community phar- macy of a fee splitting or hidden dis- count “Service” arrangement will be suspect of bad faith, and can expect to be closely audited. Further such dis- counts must be passed on to the gov- ernment.
I have stated several times now that as this third party payee program ex- pands, it is logical to expect a much closer examination of drug charges and costs. Medicare is framed around “rea- sonable costs” and “reasonable charges” and as taxpayers we would be horrified if it were not.
The Professional Fee
Many of us in hospital pharmacy ad- ministration are firmly convinced that the professional fee approach will be with us shortly, if an overall day rate schedule is impractical. In 1962, I stated at the annual meeting of the Catholic Hospital Association, that the public to- day insists more and more on audits of hospital costs. I stated that the system of “loading” charges on drugs, X-rays and laboratory tests to offset unrealistic low room and board (daily hospital services) rates was being seriously ques- tioned because of the inequity to the larger users of these services. This “load- ing of charges” forces these patients to carry part of the unmet daily hospital service costs of other patients, and this, of course, is most unfair. Whether we have a professional fee based on the an- nual number of charges (outpatient pre- scriptions or house orders of a three-day or so supply) or based on the annual number of patient days (i.e., a profes- sional fee plus the cost of medication and container for each order or the actual acquisition cost of the medica- tions and containers plus a daily pro-
fessional fee for pharmacy services on a shding daily drug cost, ie., a fixed fee for the first five days and a lower daily fee for the remaining number of days of stay) is immaterial. The results are the same.
As Mrs. Helen Nelson of the Presi- dent’s Economic Advisory Board stated months ago,—“How can we (the public) believe you are serving our needs as long as you adhere to a system of pric- ing in which your profit increases as your cost increases? To operate,” she stated, ‘year in and year out on a cost plus basis while selling the very necessi- ties of life is indefensible.”
Reasonable Costs vs. Reasonable Charges
Reimbursement to a hospital that has its own pharmacy, of course, will be on a reasonable cost basis and not “reason- able charge basis as stipulated in the Act. The factors in determining these “costs” are now released by the Social Security Administration. Eventually these will be based on a RCC—Ratio of Charges to Costs basis, i.e., what the percentage of charges for aged patients are to the charges for all patients exclud- ing maternity, pediatrics and other serv- ices not used by Medicare patients.
Now, a word more as to drug utiliza- tion in Hospitals and Extended Care Fa- cilities under Medicare—the language of the Act allows “those medications in (or approved for inclusion) the United States Pharmacopeia, National Formu- lary, Accepted Dental Remedies, New Drugs, (where favorably reviewed) and the United States Homeopathic Pharma- copeia or such drugs as are selected by the Pharmacy and Drug Therapeutics, or similar committee, of the medical staff of the hospital furnishing such drugs and biologicals for use in such hospital.”
Bear in mind, this definition applies only to medications as are ordinarily furnished by the particular hospita} (through its own or a community phar. macy) and only to in- and not to out- patients and the same anplies to Extend-

ed Care Facilities, except as to formulary listing as previously indicated.
How about Pharmacy Committee and Formularies and ‘Medicare’ — what is this all about, some of you may ask: That statement in the “Medicare” bill about the pharmacy committee, brings us to another signpost concerning the evaluation of medical practice from the “sole” to the group practice concept I mentioned earlier—I refer to the increas- ing number of medical staff controlled pharmacy committees and formularies.
Medicine has now become of age in her
workshop for practitioners—the place we call her “hospitals,” especially the teaching research centers of the coun- try. Further, no longer does the indi- vidual physician desire to work “solo” or alone—Dr. Mayo summed this up nicely when he stated, “As we men of medicine grow in learning, we more justly appreciate our dependence upon each other %......... It has become neces- sary to develop medicine as a coopera- tive science; the clinician, the specialist and the laboratory worker, all working for the good of the patient the patient will demand, the medical pro- fession must supply adequate means for the proper care of patients, which means that individualizing in medicine can no longer exist.”
Full recognition of the importance of the Pharmacy Committee for Rational Drug Therapy in hospitals, let us note, is given today not only by the A.M.A., the A.H.A., the A.S.H.P., and A.Ph.A., but also by the Catholic Hospital Association of the A.M.A., A.H.A., American College of Physicians and the American College of Surgeons and others — and now, through Medicare, by Congress itself as written into the Bill.

surance plan—let us now look for a minute at the Voluntary or Supplemen- tary Insurance Plan. In the main, (1) physician services, (2) home health care services, and (3) certain medical and other health care services are provided such as diagnostic, X-ray, laboratory tests and certain drugs.
Drugs Covered
However, services listed under item 3 “certain medical and other health care services,’ are only those services and supplies that are incidental to the physi- cian’s services and drugs and biologicals are covered only if they: (1) cannot be self administered, and (2) are not for immunizations.
2. Pharmacy’s Third Role—THE SALE AND RENTAL OF CONVALESCENT SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT
Home Health Care Services are pro- vided for in both the Universal or (A) and the Voluntary or (B) Plan.
The services provided in “A” and “B” for Home Health Care Agencies are the same—what are these as they pertain to pharmacy? The Conditions of Participa- tion for Home Health Care Agencies are clear. What do they state about medical supplies and equipment and home health care agencies?
The Act itself states the right of pay- ment for medical supplies (other than drugs and biologicals) and the use of medical appliances, while the beneficiary is under a Home Health Care Service plan designated by his physician.
The Conditions of Participation for Home Health Care Agencies defines medical supplies as follows: “such as gauze, cotton . . surgical dressings, catheters, surgical gloves, rubbing alco- hol, irrigating solutions, intravenous fluids and oxygen.”
And as to medical appliances, the Conditions of Participation for Home Health Care Agencies again speak and say, “such items as bed pans, wheel

chairs, crutches, hospital beds, trapeze bars, oxygen tents, intermittent positive pressure machines and air pressure mat- tresses.”
One thing is certain, and that is a Home Health Care Agency will wish to deal with one or more community phar- macies. It is also quite likely that a Home Health Care Agency will choose to do business only with those pharmacies, be they hospital or community, with a well-equipped sickroom supply inven- tory, where all items are kept in excel- lent rental condition and from a phar- macy that offers prompt delivery service.
Medical Supplies and Equipment Under —Part B—Without Home Health Care Agency
Further, as you know, Plan B also au- thorizes in addition to the payment for physician services, payment for services and supplies that are incidental to the physician’s services and under 1861(s) at (6), we note, “. . . the rental (not sale) of durable medical equipment, including iron lungs, oxygen tents, hospital beds and wheel chairs used in the patient’s home (including an institution used asa home) and at (5) surgical dressings, and splints, casts, and other devices used for reduction of fractures and dislocations and at (8) prosthetic devices (other than dental) which replaces all or part of an internal body organ, including replace- ment of such devices and at (9) leg, arm, back and neck braces, and artificial legs, arms, and eyes, including replacements, if required, because of a change in the patient’s condition.
Obviously, such supplies and equip ment must be declared, by the attending physician, medically necessary for diag- nosis or treatment, for here, as through- out all Medicare activities, the key in- dividual having the sole authority to de- termine medical needs is the physician.
It is but logical to assume as to 1861(s) that this means, in those geo- graphical areas where there are no home health care agencies or where there is no need for such services, the physician may order the rental of such convales-
The Maryland Pharmacist cent equipment and supplies, and these, too, will be covered under Medicare, for those patients under the voluntary or “B” Plan and such items may be rented from a hospital, a pharmacy with a “home health aid” department or other rentor. This could well be a big factor in our opportunities and responsibilities in the future.
These, then, are the new opportunities and responsibilities. One word of cau- tion to practicing pharmacists, and ad- ministrators of hospitals and extended care facilities — make certain as you move into these new areas, your mal- practice insurance carrier includes these activities as a rider to your policy, for here, as elsewhere, you are liable for any malpractice or negligent acts. Wit- ness the Boston and Texas cases as to criminal negligence and administrative tort negligence where hospitals failed to have a pharmacist in its drug dispensing activities.
Finally, let me include this thought of an ancient philosopher, “Nothing is permanent but change.” The alert, the visionary, the leaders among us recog- nize this fact and carve out our futures on this basis. We must, all of us, “be aware of change” and act accordingly. The future of institutional care as it re- lates to the current changes in health care patterns is indeed great, be we in community or hospital pharmacy prac- tice, or in hospital or extended care facility administration.
For this opportunity of visiting with you, my thanks. I trust I have been a bit helpful in explaining Title 18 of the 1965 Social Security Amendments Act and the added opportunities and re- sponsibilities it presents in connection with modern day pharmacy service.

The American Council on Pharmaceutical Education—Pharmaceutical Education's Accrediting Agency*
By
LLOYD M. PARKS, Ph.D. Dean, College of Pharmacy, Ohio State University
To give you a brief background on this organization, I should take a short excursion into history. Prior to 1900 most states had legislation requiring licensure of pharmacists by examina- tion but none required candidates for licensure to be graduates of a college of pharmacy. Around 1900, and shortly thereafter, three things happened to change this picture. First was the form- ation of the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties in 1900; the name of that organization was changed to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy in 1925. Secondly, after 1900, there was the passage of the pre- requisite laws by the states, which re- quired graduation from a college of pharmacy as a prerequisite to take the licensure examination. Thirdly, was the formation of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy in 1904, which put the organized board support be- hind educational requirements.
The college association, which is known as the AACP, was the first standardizing body for colleges of phar- macy by listing certain requirements for membership and it set the first ad- mission and graduation standards in 1904.
The standards for both admission and graduation were raised in 1908, 1917, 1923, in 1932 when the four year pro- gram became the requirement, and in 1960 when the five year program be- came the requirement.
The AACP also served as an accred- iting agency through its membership standards and actually for a period of
“Adapted from the Ohio Pharmacist.
about three years, from 1929 to 1932, it made inspections of colleges. In 1932 the American Council on Pharmaceuti- cal Education was organized, largely through the cooperative activity of the NABP, the AACP and the American Pharmaceutical Association. The Coun- cil was organized with three represent- atives each from those _ supporting bodies and one representative from the American Council on Education. The Council from its beginning has consis- ted of a ten member body. It published its first set of accreditation standards in 1937; it was incorporated in 1939; and has served since then as the na- tional accrediting agency for the col- leges of pharmacy in the United States and its territories. It published the first list of accredited colleges in 1940. The Council is recognized and approved by the National Commission on Ac- crediting. In fact, many of the Coun- cil’s original concepts have been in- corporated into the criteria of the Na- tional Commission on Accrediting for accrediting agencies.
Objectives of the Council, as stated in its Accreditation Manual are:
“a. To formulate the educational, scientific and professional princi- ples and standards which an ap- proved school or college of phar- macy will be expected to meet and maintain (approved here is synony- mous with accredited.)
“b. To revise these principles and standards when deemed necessary advisable.
“c. To investigate any school or col- lege of pharmacy that requests ap- proval of the Council.

How often do you see your MSD pro- fessional representative?
Every time you see a prescription for an MSD product.
He never writes a prescription... but he’s one reason why you see and fill more of them. Once he’s sure you have a good stock
of MSD products he gets busy to make sure your stock turns over. He does this by calling on more physicians, telling them about MSD products and, very often, new MSD products at that. Because MERCK SHARP & DOHME is one of the companies developing and marketing truly new and different drugs,
drugs that often represent the first of many in the field, MSD professional representatives have to contact physicians
much more frequently. So if your MSD man doesn’t turn up routinely in your store, don’t worry, MSD prescriptions will. Actually, your MSD representative is never far away, and
is always eager to serve you. If you would like to reach
him for any reason, you can locate him through your nearest
MSD branch. (See page ii of your MSD Price List.)

“q. To publish a list of approved schools and colleges of pharmacy and to revise such list annually or as frequently as deemed desirable.
“e To satisfy itself that the schools and colleges which have been ap- proved maintain the proper stand- ards through conference with mem- bers of the faculties and the rein- spection of any or all colleges of pharmacy at regular intervals or at such other times as may be deemed advisable. The approval of any school or college failing to main- tain the standards formulated by the corporation shall be withdrawn. “f To assist in the advancement and
improvement of pharmaceutical edu--
cation and registration.”
The purposes of accreditation as stat- ed in the Manual are:
“a. To advance the standards of pharmaceutical education in the United States and its possessions.
“b. To describe the characteristics of an accredited college of phar- macy.
“ce
c. To provide for prospective students a dependable basis for the selection of colleges of pharmacy.
“d. To provide a basis for inter- institutional relationships.
“e. To provide a list of accredited colleges of pharmacy for the use of state boards of pharmaceutical examiners and other interested agencies.”
The initial examination for original accreditation of a college of pharmacy is by application from that college at a fee of $500. Thereafter, the examina- tion for continuation of accreditation is at a five or six-year interval or more often if indicated, at no expense to the college. The examining team usually consists of the Director of Educational Relations of the Council and one Coun- cil member. The Board of Pharmacy in the state is invited to send a member of its board as an observer and the regional accrediting agency is invited to
The Maryland Pharmacist send an observer, a so-called generalist, if it is the wish of the institution and the regional accrediting agency to do so.
The examination consists of a ques- tionnaire which is completed by the col- lege prior to the visitation and which requires a considerable amount of time and effort on the part of the Col- lege to do; then there is a two-day visit during which about ten different items are examined into. These include the aims and the program of the college; the university administration as it re- lates to the college; the college admin- istration, including procedures, finan- cial resources, budget, academic poli- cies, etc.; the faculty, its adequacy, qual- ity, background, effectiveness, salaries, etc.; admission and promotion of stu- dents; student personnel services and extracurricular activities; the curricu- lum in effect at the college; the effec- tiveness of instruction; the physical plant; and the library. For each of these items there are guidelines set forth in the Accreditation Manual, both for the guidance of the examiners and of the college, under policies and standards; in general, the examiners abide by these guidelines in their examination visit.
A report of the examination is furn- ished to the Secretary of the Council by the examiners. A copy of the re- port is sent to the regional accrediting agency, when that agency has been in- volved in the visit, to the President of the institution, and to the Dean of the college for their information, guidance and comment; the institution and the college are given the opportunity to respond, to correct any factual errors, or to comment on any parts of the re- port as they see fit. The report is then considered formally at the next meet- ing of the Council. The Council holds meetings twice a year, usually in Jan- uary and in May or June and at each of these meetings reports of examinations of colleges that have been made since the last meeting are considered, among other business.

Librax is back
...to help control emotional and somatic symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders
ca Librax’ Roche Each capsule contains
5 mg chlordiazepoxide HCI and 2.5 mg clidinium Br.
Librax is once again available for prescription.
A combination of Librium® (chlordiazepoxide HCl) and Quarzan® (clidinium Br), Librax was widely accepted by physicians and their pa- tients as the leading antianxiety/anticholin- ergic medication used in the adjunctive treat- ment of peptic ulcer and other organic and functional gastrointestinal disorders. This was attested by its high volume of new prescriptions and refill rate which continued to grow year after year. Even during the months when Librax was temporarily unavailable, numerous doctors expressed to Roche their hope that the product would soon return to pharmacies. We at Roche are happy to report that the waiting period is now over. So be ready for physicians’ prescrip- tions. Order from your wholesaler today. Bottles of 50 and 500.
Before prescribing, please consult complete pre-
scribing information, a summary of which follows:
Contraindications: Patients with glaucoma; pros- tatic hypertrophy and benign bladder neck ob- struction; known hypersensitivity to chlordiaze- poxide hydrochloride and/or clidinium bromide.
Roche Laboratories « Division of Hoffmann-La Roche Inc « Nutley, N.J. 07110
Warnings: Caution patients about possible com- bined effects with alcohol and other CNS depres- sants. Caution against hazardous occupations during therapy. Use caution in administering Librium (chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride) to known addiction-prone patients or those who might increase dosage; withdrawal symptoms (including convulsions), following discontinua- tion of the drug and similar to those seen with barbiturates, have been reported. Safe use of any drug in pregnancy, lactation, or in women of childbearing age not established. As with all anticholinergic drugs, an inhibiting effect on lactation may occur.
Precautions: In elderly and debilitated, limit dosage to smallest effective amount to preclude development of ataxia, oversedation or confusion (not more than two capsules per day initially; increase gradually as needed and tolerated). In general, concomitant use with other psycho- tropics is not recommended; if such combination therapy seems indicated, consider the pharma- cology of the other agents, particularly MAO in- hibitors and phenothiazines. Paradoxical reac- tions, such as excitement, stimulation and acute rage, to chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride have been reported in psychiatric patients. Variable effects on blood coagulation have been reported very rarely in patients receiving chlordiazepox- ide hydrochloride and oral anticoagulants, al- though causal relationship has not been estab- lished clinically. Observe usual precautions in presence of impaired renal or hepatic function, impending depression and suicidal tendencies.
Adverse Reactions: No side effects or manifesta- tions not seen with either compound alone have been reported with Librax. When chlordiazepox- ide hydrochloride is used alone, drowsiness, ataxia and confusion may occur, especially in the elderly and debilitated. In most instances, these effects are reversible by proper dosage adjustment, but occasionally are observed at lower dosage ranges. In a few instances, syn- cope has been reported; also encountered are isolated instances of skin eruptions, edema, minor menstrual irregularities, nausea and con- stipation, extrapyramidal symptoms, increased and decreased libido — all infrequent and gener- ally controlled with dosage reduction; changes in EEG patterns (low-voltage fast activity) may appear during and after treatment. Blood dys- crasias, including agranulocytosis, jaundice and hepatic dysfunction, have occasionally been re- ported with chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride, making periodic blood counts and liver-function tests advisable during protracted therapy. Ad- verse effects reported with Librax are typical of anticholinergic agents, i.e., dryness of mouth, blurring of vision, urinary hesitancy and con- stipation. Constipation has occurred most often when Librax therapy is combined with other spasmolytics and/or low residue diet.
Dosage: Individualize for maximum benefits. Usual maintenance dose is 1 or 2 capsules, 3 or 4 times a day, before meals and at bedtime.
How supplied: Capsules, each containing 5 mg chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride (Librium®) and 2.5 mg clidinium bromide (Quarzan®) — bottles
of 50 and 500. LRSCHE J

The Maryland Pharmacist
and notice of the action taken by the is currently serving as Vice President
Council on the report and on the col- lege is then sent to the President of the institution, to the Dean of the college of pharmacy, and to the Secretary of the state board of pharmacy. A list of ac- credited colleges of pharmacy is pub- lished annually as of July 1.
The Council operates on an annual budget of something less than $50,000. Each of the sponsoring organizations, the APhA, the AACP and the NABP contributes $2500 a year at the present time. The bulk of its financial support comes from the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, which was organized some years ago for the financial support of pharmaceutical education. Its contribution is $35,000 to $40,000 a year. The budget is expended in financing accreditation visits to col- leges (approximately 15 colleges of pharmacy are visited each year by Coun- cil representatives); for the salary of the Director of Educational Relations who is a full-time employee of the Council; for secretarial assistance and supplies; and for Council meetings.
The Council office is in Chicago where it shares office space with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Officers of the Council are president, vice president and secretary-treasurer who are elected annually by the Coun- cil. Members of the Council are appoint- ed by the sponsoring organizations for a six-year term. It is the policy of the AACP to restrict its representatives to one six-year term; the APhA and the NABP have no such restrictions.
The APhA representatives are William S. Apple, Executive Director of the APhA, who currently serves as President of the Council; Charles F. Dahl, a com- munity pharmacist in Viroqua, Wis- consin; Lonnie J. Yarbrough, a com- munity pharmacist in Denton, Texas.
The AACP representatives are Lin- wood F.. Tice, Dean of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, who
of the Council (until January 20, 1966 when Lloyd M. Parks succeeded to this office); Richard A. Deno, Professor of Pharmacognosy at the University of Michigan, College of Pharmacy; and my- self. Dean Tice’s term expires June 30, 1966 when he will be succeeded by Dean Harold G. Hewitt of the University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy.
The NABP representatives are H. C. McAllister, Secretary of the North Caro- lina Board of Pharmacy; Fred T. Ma- haffey, Secretary of the National Associ- ation of Boards of Pharmacy, who cur- rently serves as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Council; and a third member, re- cently resigned, was Robert Gillespie, a community pharmacist in Benton Harbor, Michigan and a former mem- ber of the State Board of Pharmacy of Michigan. (Francis S. Balassone, Sec- retary of the Maryland Board of Phar- macy, was recently appointed by the NABP to fill Mr. Gillespie’s unexpired term.)
The representative from the American Council on Education is John C. Weaver, currently Vice President of Ohio State University who, at the time of his ap- pointment was Vice President of the University of Iowa.
The Director of Educational Relations is Dr. Melvin W. Green, who is not a member of the Council but a full-time, paid employee. Dr. Green has served on the faculties of the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy, the University of Pitts- burgh, the Georgetown University, and the University of Wisconsin.

Unity Plus Organization Equals Results
The year 1966-67 for the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association proved what many outside of pharmacy as well as the leaders within the profession have reiterated many times: pharmacists working together in a unified manner, properly organized under forceful, thoughtful leadership can achieve their goals.
This was well demonstrated by the foresight and planning for the legislative program for 1967 which began at the end of the 1966 state legislative session.
With the support of many pharmacists in every community of the state, legislators were acquainted with the problems of pharmacy through conferences and meetings held before and during the 1967 legislative session. At the proper time letters and telegrams were sent to emphasize the concern of all in pharmacy. There was grass roots support from all the local pharmaceutical organizations as well as by individual pharmacists.
A new, independent group—the Pharmacists Political Action Committee of Maryland (PHARMPAC)—worked hard contacting pharmacists and evaluating candidates.
Officers and members of the MPA Legislative Committee, as well as the Executive Secretary, devoted considerable time and effort in Annapolis monitoring every phase of the legislative process. Liaison was established with legislators and members of the Executive Office of the governor.
The result of all this concentrated activity has been a favorable climate to pharmacy and the enactment of legislation which has been the MPA goal for a decade.
After ten years of extensive debate and laborious effort, the Association has succeeded in obtaining the enactment of vitally needed legislation incorporating defi- nitions of the “practice of pharmacy” and “a pharmacy”, and importantly, the authority for the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate rules and regulations “gov- erning the standards of practice of pharmacy, and operation of pharmacies in- cluding rules and regulations governing the method of advertising, promotion and standards for filling and refilling prescriptions, necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare”.
Increased medical care prescription fees from a 50c to a $1.00 minimum were obtained by the MPA in 1965 and 1966. In July 1967 an average fee of $1.50 will go into effect as a result of your MPA.
Also, this year we had pharmacy services added to the law which provides for non-profit prescription pre-payment plans, such as Blue Shield. An attempt to repeal the Maryland Fair Trade law was defeated.
Pharmacy has achieved greater recognition than ever before. Now building on the firm foundation laid in the past year, pharmacy in Maryland with an even greater support by all pharmacists can look forward to realizing other rea- sonable goals in the future.

President's Message......
Dear Fellow Members: As my year in office as president of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association
draws rapidly to a close it is necessary to review the activities of past year. At the forthcoming convention I will present a detailed report, but I would like to take this opportunity to mention a few highlights of the 1966-67 association
year. In going over the records I found that there were many solid accomplish-
ments and progress. |
Foremost was the enactment of sorely needed pharmacy legislation. After many years we at last succeeded in obtaining a definition of the practice of pharmacy, an improvement in the definition of a “pharmacy” and authority for the Board of Pharmacy to make regulations governing the practice of pharmacy and operation of pharmacies.
Much credit is due our Legislative Committee under Chairman Bernard Lach- | man and Anthony Padussis, as well as our Executive Secretary, Nathan Gruz. I would be remiss if I did not give credit to the foundation laid by my predecessor Alexander Ogrinz and by Jerome Mask who was Legislative Chairman for a number of years.
Next, we devoted great time and effort to “Medical Care” prescriptions. In- creased fees went into effect in 1965 and 1966 and a $1.50 fee is to be effective July 1st. | We succeeded in obtaining a second pharmacist, Donald O. Fedder, on the State Medical Assistance Advisory Committee. He joined Gordon A. Mouat on this key’ group which is responsible for developing policies. Through the efforts of the Asso-| ciation and the pharmacist representatives, many matters important to all of us| have received proper attention. When payments were far behind, the advance pay- | ment method was arranged. A firm policy for payment of fees for all prescriptions including OTC items has been put into effect and insulin and orders are paid for per unit at regular prices.
In March the Swain Model Pharmacy was dedicated after being only a dream for many years. Here full credit is due Irving I. Cohen for his vision and persistence.
We have succeeded in channeling the dispensing of prescription medication through pharmacies in some cases where this was not the case. Further progress I know will be made in the coming months.
In the field of prescription prepayment we are cooperating with other states in the Eastern Pharmaceutical Service Corp. In the near future details will be going out.
We are working more closely than ever with Maryland Association of Hospital | Pharmacists in developing policies in the interest of both community and hospital
pharmacists. Our Professional Relations Committee through liaison with the state medical
society is engaged in drawing up a mutual Code of Cooperation for Medicine and Pharmacy.
I could cite many more examples and much greater detail, but I urge you to | come to this year’s Convention in Tamiment-in-the-Poconos, July 17-20 and get a complete report. You can be sure of a worthwhile and most enjoyable time for yourself and your family. |
Sincerely, MORRIS R. YAFFE President

Patents, Progress, Pharmacy—a I'riad
Pharmacy has flourished, thanks in large part to America’s patent system. Under this system, everyone benefits—the physician who prescribes, the pharmacist who dispenses, the patient who receives the medication.
Without the protection afforded by the sys- tem, all concerned would be deprived of that most vital link in the chain of scientific prog- ress—incentive. Without incentive, new drugs would not be searched for...and found.
Today’s drug discovery is not an isolated phenomenon. It grew out of yesterday’s dis-
'LEDERLE LABORATORIES « A Division of American Cyanamid Company, Pearl River, New York
covery and leads to tomorrow’s. The sulfon- amides, antibiotics, steroids, vitamins and vaccines you dispense today are each stages of a development process which, so far, is unbroken.
To protect all, the patent system itself needs your protection. You can serve pharmacy and progress, the prescribing physician, your customer, yourself by offering such protection. Choose products protected by patents and made in the U.S.A.; reject those which are in violation of American patents.

Te oe ee De a a
Maryland Pharmacy Law Enacted
See Front Cover
After many years of effort and exten- sive debate vitally needed pharmacy legislation was enacted by the 1967 Maryland General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Spiro T. Agnew on May 4th.
Known as Senate Bill 283, the law was introduced by Senator Louise Gore (Rep.) of Montgomery County and Sen- ator Carl L. Friedler (Dem.) of Balti- more City’s Fifth Legislative District.
The complete text appears in this issue.
In Section 250 we have for the first time in our law a definition of the “Prac- tice of Pharmacy”. This definition was necessary to differentiate pharmacy from other activities and in order to properly define a “pharmacy” or “drug- store”.
The new definition of a “pharmacy” uses the terms “establishment” or “in- stitution” thereby recognizing every site where pharmacy may be practiced. The last phrase should also be noted: “the effect of which would tend to indicate that the practice of pharmacy is being conducted in such establishment.”
A historic step was the addition to Section 258, granting the Board the au- thority to promulgate rules and regula- tions (under a procedure of public hearings and other safeguards) “govern- ing the standards of practice of phar- macy and operation of pharmacies in- cluding, rules and regulations governing the method of advertising, promotion and standards for filling and refilling prescriptions, necessary to protect pub- lic health, safety, and welfare.”
The proposal for this provision has been widely misinterpreted and dis-
torted over the years, but was recognized by the large majority of pharmacists as necessary to meet the requirements and developments in contemporary phar- macy. It will grant the Board of Phar- macy the opportunity to prevent prac- tices not in the public or professional interest and to cope with situations without the need to go to the legislature on every matter.
This approach, granted by the legisla- ture to other professional and trade licensing boards, was recognized by the legislators as rational and necessary for pharmacy. The vote for Senate Bill 283 was unanimous in both the Senate and House of Delegates.
The legislative program was under the auspices of the MPA Legislative Commit- tee. Chairman Bernard B. Lachman and Anthony G. Padussis exercised effective leadership and obtained the support of their committee, the officers of the state and local associations and many phar- macists throughout the state.
Much credit is also due President Morris R. Yaffe, whose active interest was of inestimable value, as well as to our legal counsel, Joseph S. Kaufman, whose counsel and assistance was in- valuable. Essential support and coopera- tion also came from Frank Balassone, Secretary of the Board of Pharmacy, and the State Department of Health.
Our thanks should also go to our many friends in the legislature and the executive branch of the government whose support at crucial times was forthcoming.
Now it is up to the pharmacists of the state to present their ideas and sug-

Barre Drug Buys National Pharmaceutical Company
Barre Drug Co., Inc. has purchased National Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company.
Both of the Baltimore firms manufac- ture and sell pharmaceutical products to retail, wholesale and governmental in- stitutions. They also serve private for- mula and private label businesses.
Tsrael Mendelsohn, founder and presi- dent of Barre, said that present plans call for Barre to be the sales organiza- tion and National the manufacturing subsidiary.
Increase Predicted
Mr. Mendelsohn said the purchase and resulting expansion of manufactur- ing facilities should increase the firm’s private formula and label market.
Barre serves about 23 states along the Eastern Seaboard and also sells in California.
Morris Rockman will remain in his present post of manufacturing pharma- cist for National, a 45-year-old concern.
Promotion Noted
James Mendelsohn, a son of the founder of the Barre firm, has been pro- moted from manufacturing pharmacist to vice president in charge of product development, drug analysis and produc- tion.
His brother, Max, continues as vice president and sales manager.
The Barre firm has moved from its plant on Woodland avenue into Nation- al’s facilities at 415 East Oliver street. The two companies plan to go into a new building later on, but the plans have not been completed.

They want to be. They work here.
You see, they are a strong right arm of the Roche management team. They advise and im- plement. They help to initiate basic policy. They function in every major department at Roche — Marketing Research, Advertising, Profes- sional Services, the Law Department,
Sales, Product Planning,
Distribution and Institu- “ tional Services, Sales Manpower Development.
Why knowledgeable pharmacists in key deci- sion spots?
When such a large share of our business is concerned with pharmacists, it’s really good busi- ness to know what concerns them.
And who knows better than another pharma- cist?
So in a very real sense, our pharmacists rep- resent you at the policy-making table. As such, they keep in touch with your thinking. By listen- ing, by traveling, by attending city, county and state pharmaceutical meetings and conventions
.in other words, by being with you. This is why, at Roche, a good deal of company policy stems directly from your suggestions.
We listen. rLROCHE }

Las Vegas, Nevada, April 9-12, 1967
Silas J. Wright, 61-year-old pharmacist of Brazoria, Texas, and the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association have been named winners of the 1966 APhA Public Education Awards Competition, sponsored by Pfizer Laboratories. Presentations were made before a General Session of the APhA Annual Meeting in Las Vegas last April.
The PEAC Awards, now in their sixth year, are among the highest in pharmacy. They are presented to an indi- vidual pharmacist and to a pharmaceutical organization whose public education programs are judged most effec- tive in educating the public to pharmacy’s role in improv- ing community health. They consist of a trophy, a cash prize of $500.00, and an expense-paid trip to the APhA Annual Meeting.
Mr. Wright maintains Wright’s Pharmacy in Brazoria, a town of 1,300 in the Gulf Coast area of Texas. His pub- lic service program consisted of daily radio talks, a weekly column in The Brazoria County News, and numerous per- sonal appearances before civic groups. He was nominated for the individual PEAC Award by Randy Griffin of KBRZ Radio, Freeport, Texas.
Poison Prevention Program
The Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association won the PEAC organizational Award for its poison antidote kit (PAK) program. A well-coordinated statewide effort was made to educate the public on poison prevention by focus- ing attention on the community practitioner as the prime source of health information and services.
The Michigan Association endeavored to place in as many homes as possible, especially where there were young children, a PAK for use in most poisoning emer- gencies. It also brought the problem of accidental poison- ing to the attention of the public through PAK publicity. Emergency phone numbers were provided to the recipi- ents of the kits.
Another aspect of the campaign was to establish the pharmacist as a dependable advisor on the kit. Distribu- tion was through Michigan State’s Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation’s affiliated local associations and by direct shipment to individual pharmacists. National Poison Prevention Week 1966 was a focal point of the year-round program, and by year’s end 35,000 kits had been distributed throughout the state.
Displays of the winning entries in the individual and organization divisions were on exhibit at the 114th APhA Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, April 9 to 12, 1967.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The May meeting featured Martin Golden, a Delaware pharmacist, who spoke on “Prescription Pre Payment Plans—What Kind for Maryland?”. Mr. Golden, a proprietor of a community pharmacy, is active in the Eastern Pharmaceutical Service Corporation.
Mr. Golden presented a thorough review of the problems involving prescription pre-payment and the various plans now in operation. It is believed that some kind of plan will be available in the next few months.
Maryland is participating in the Eastern Pharmaceutical Service Corp. which is studying the whole problem. All pharmacies will be receiving details in the near future and we hope you will give this matter serious consideration.
It is important for pharmacists to be part of this and help develop policy.
Joseph U. Dorsch and H. Wilfred Gluckstern, members of the BMPA, are on the Board of Directors of Eastern Pharmaceutical representing the State of Maryland. Our 1st Vice President, Donald O. Fedder, is a member of the Research Comnmnittee.
This year BMPA’s Drug, Cosmetic and Gift Show will be the largest and most comprehensive ever. It will be the only Drug Show in the Baltimore area this year. Make sure you attend. Save your buying for your Show August 8, 9, 10 at Blue Crest North. The big prize will be a Volkswagen. There will be many other prizes such as TV and radios.
At this time I urge all the members of the BMPA to attend the 85th Annual Convention of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association at Tamiment-in-the-Poco- nos, July 17-20. Let’s have full representation from this area.

VICTOR H. MORGENROTH, JR.
Victor H. Morgenroth, Jr., Baltimore pharmacist long a leader in local, state and national pharmacy affairs, is a can- didate for First Vice President of the American Pharmaceutical Association. Mary Lou Anderson of Wilmington, Delaware, is his opponent.
Mr. Morgenroth was born on April 25, 1914. He received his Bachelor of Sci- ence degree in Pharmacy from the Uni- versity of Maryland School of Pharmacy in 1939. He joined the American Phar- maceutical Association in 1947 and is a member of the Admissions Committee of the National Formulary. He is a Regional Director of the American Col- lege of Apothecaries and a Past President of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharma- ceutical Association, the Maryland Phar- maceutical Association and the Alumni Association of the University of Mary- land School of Pharmacy. He serves on
the Mayor’s Commission for the Aged in Baltimore City, the Maryland State Board of Hospital Licensure and as Pharmacy Consultant in the Baltimore Health Department’s Medical Care Di- vision. He is active in professional and church affairs.
Mr. Morgenroth is a partner with phar- macist Joseph A. Dorsch. They operate two pharmacies, one a “pharmaceutical center.”

Paregoric Now Class B Narcotic
Effective April 1, 1967, Paregoric U.S.P. XVII (Camphorated Opium Tinc- ture U.S.P. XVI), alone or in combina- tion with narcotic or non-narcotic drugs has been designated as Class B Narcotic under state law and regulations.
F. S. Balassone, Chief Division of Drug Control, in announcing the approval of the State Board of Health and Mental Hygiene, stated:
“The purpose of the regulation was to lift paregoric from Class A, and put it in Class B, allowing paregoric prescrip- tions or prescriptions containing pare- goric to be telephoned by a physician to a pharmacist. Paregoric still remains a prescription drug subject to the narcotic laws.
The above regulation will facilitate patients needing such medication to get it quickly and, of course, make the me- chanics between the physician and phar- macist easier.”
The status of paregoric in Maryland has been unsatisfactory to pharmacists and physicians for many years. The Maryland Pharmaceutical Association requested the Board of Pharmacy to take the steps necessary to effect the change announced above.

52,500 persons were killed and 4,400,- 000 injured in traffic accidents last year. The survey showed that alcohol was a contributing factor in more than half of all fatal accidents.

to that of Compazine®

* Note: Keep in a cool place, preferably in a refrigerator. Advise patrons to refrigerate before using.
‘Vontrol’ is not related to the antihistamines, phenothiazines or other agents with antivertigo or antiemetic effect. For complete prescribing information, see package circular. The follow- ing ts a brief precautionary statement.
Contraindications: Known _hypersensi- tivity to the drug is a contraindication. Anuria is a contraindication. (Since ap- proximately 90% of the drug is excreted in the urine, renal shutdown could cause systemic accumulation.)
Warnings: Although mild to moderate drowsiness occurs infrequently (reported in 4% of adults), its possibility should be borne in mind when prescribing for patients who drive cars or operate machinery.
Use of any drug in pregnancy, lactation or in women of childbearing age requires that the potential benefits of the drug be weighed against its possible hazards to the mother and child. ‘Vontrol’ is not indicated for use in nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, since the therapeutic value and safety in this indication have not yet been determined.
Precautions: The antiemetic action of ‘Vontrol’ may mask signs of overdose of drugs (e.g., digitalis) or may obscure diagnosis of conditions such as intestinal obstruction and brain tumor.
Although there have been no reports of blood dyscrasias or other idiosyncratic reactions with ‘Vontrol’, as with any new drug, patients should be observed regularly.

‘Vontrol’ has a weak parasympatholytic effect. Although there is little evidence that it will produce significant atropine-like effects, ‘Vontrol’ should be used with care in patients with glaucoma, obstructive lesions of the gastrointestinal and geni- tourinary tracts, such as stenosing peptic ulcer, prostatic hypertrophy, pyloric and duodenal obstruction, and organic cardio- spasm.
Intravenous administration to persons with a history of sinus tachycardia may be undesirable because this procedure may initiate an attack in such patients.
Several patients were reported to have had a transient decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, up to 20 mm. Hg., following parenteral use of ‘Vontrol’.
NOTE: The drug is not recommended for use in infants under six months or 20 pounds. Intravenous or subcutaneous administration is not recommended in chil- dren of any age.
Adverse Reactions: Drowsiness, dry mouth, g.i. irritation (nausea and_ in- digestion), or blurred vision may occur. Rarely, slight dizziness, skin rash, malaise, headache, or heartburn may occur. One mild case of jaundice of questionable relationship to the use of ‘Vontrol’ has been reported. Slight, transient lowering of blood pressure has been reported in a few patients.

KELLY MEMORIAL BUILDING @ 650 WEST LOMBARD STREET BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 21201
Dear fellow pharmacist:
During the past ten years your state professional society—the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association—has succeeded in obtaining the enactment of legis- lation which has been helpful in advancing the status of pharmacy as well as in serving the public interest.
Some of these additions to the Maryland Pharmacy Law are, in brief:
1. Specification of certain acts as grossly unprofessional conduct subjecting a guilty pharmacist to suspension or revocation of his license. Some ex- amples: payment of rebates; providing imprinted prescription blanks; in- volvement or employment in a physician-owned pharmacy (this effectively bars an MD from operating a pharmacy); advertising to the public the prices of prescriptions or the use of such terms as “cut-rate’”’, “discount” or “bargain”; advertising or claiming professional superiority which may undermine confidence in the ability, character and integrity of other pharmacists.
2. A pharmacy is prohibited from engaging in a closed-door operation. It must offer complete pharmaceutical service and shall not offer professional services under terms and conditions which tend to interfere with or impair the free and complete exercise of professional judgment or skill or enter into any agreement which denies the patient the right of free choice of pharmacists.
3. Licensing of wholesalers and manufacturers of dangerous (legend) drugs.
4. Prohibition against advertising any dangerous drug by either brand or generic name.
Now at the 1967 session of the Legislature, after ten years of extensive debate and laborious effort, the Association has succeeded in obtaining the enactment of additional vitally needed legislation: definitions of the “practice of pharmacy” and “a pharmacy”, and importantly, the authority of the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate rules and regulations “governing the standards of practice of phar- macy, and operation of pharmacies including rules and regulations governing the method of advertising, promotion and standards for filling and refilling pre- scriptions, necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare”.
Increased medical care prescription fees from a 50c to a $1.00 minimum were obtained by the MPA in 1965 and 1966. In July 1967 an average fee of $1.50 will go into effect as a result of your MPA.
Also, this year we had pharmacy services added to the law which provides for non-profit prescription pre-payment plans, such as Blue Shield. An attempt to repeal the Maryland Fair Trade law was defeated.
All this is just a bare outline of what has involved many of your Association leaders who freely give many hours and days of hard work. You must under-

stand, too, that it would have been impossible without a full time Association office. During these sessions your Executive Secretary, Nathan Gruz, spent days and nights as our Legislative Agent in Annapolis and followed through to a most successful conclusion. He marshalled our forces from all over the state and brought them to bear upon our Legislature and Governor. Never before did Pharmacy in Maryland mount such a penetrating campaign. We left an indelible, positive impression upon the Governor, his staff and the General Assembly for the benefit of Pharmacy.
What does this all mean to you? Where do you come in?
The enactment of the 1967 law requires the participation of all pharmacists concerned with their profession. We would like you to give serious thought as to what kind of rules and regulations are most urgently indicated. Please let us have your ideas as to what are the most critical problems and what your suggested
remedies are.
With the support of every pharmacist I am confident that we can further the profession of pharmacy. We’re counting on YOU.
All suggestions will be given careful consideration by the Legislative Com-
mittee.
Let us hear from you soon.
Yours for a greater pharmaceutical future,
Morris R. Yaffe, President

What's in the alligator bag?
Heritage.
. .a heritage started by the man who founded the Upjohn Company 86 years ago. He carried an alligator bag; that’s why our salesmen carry one.
It stands for quality. Upjohn standards of purity and efficacy in its products are high. We insist on similarly high standards of quality and integrity in the men who represent us. Our company is judged by how well we meet or surpass these marks of excellence.
Next time an Upjohn man calls, notice his alligator bag. It stands for something important: products and selling policies that help preserve your professional and commercial integrity as well as protect your customers’ well-being.

New Drug's Effect in Addicts Discussed at Research Institute
Experimental studies to determine the value of a new, non-addicting anal- gesic compound in narcotic addicts and in persons with depressive disorders were described at a seminar sponsored by the Sterling-Winthrop Research Insti- tute.
The new compound has the generic name of cyclazocine, and the research designation of Win 20,740. It is one of a number of chemically-related compounds in a class called narcotic antagonists which were synthesized by chemists at the Sterling-Winthrop Research Insti- tute. Research with cyclazocine has dis- closed it to be effective in preventing narcotic addicts from getting “hooked” again after stopping the habit, it was noted at the Institute’s seminar.

Re: Necessity of having order form prior to delivery of narcotic drugs
It has recently come to our attention that some drug suppliers are making de- liveries of narcotics pursuant to tele- phone orders, and then having their de- liveryman pick up the official opium order form (form 2513) upon delivery. The danger in this procedure is that the deliveryman usually is not qualified to judge the validity of the order form or evaluate any abnormal circumstances. Such practice is contrary to the intent and purpose of the law and regulations, and we are requesting those registrants involved to take remedial action immedi- ately.
However, we will interpose no objec- tions in the instance where a druggist hands an order form to a salesman of the wholesale dealer who then calls the order in to his employer where the drugs are then withdrawn from stock and shipped to the customer. The salesman is a responsible member of the Seller’s merchandising department and is able to determine whether the order form is properly prepared and whether all the information has been properly entered as required by Sections 151, 161-151.164 of Regulations No. 5.
The essence of this situation is that the order form is in the hands of the seller (acting through his agent—the salesman) at the time the narcotics are withdrawn from stock and shipped. The wholesaler is responsible and is held fully accountable for all such disposi- tions.

George C. Stiaayer Named Executive Vice Fresident of Federal Wholesale Druggisis' Association of USA &
Canada, Inc.
George C. Straayer has been named Executive Vice President of the Federal Wholesale Druggists’ Association effec- tive July 1, 1967, it was announced by James F. Delibert, Chairman of FWDA’s Executive Committee. Mr. Straayer leaves the position of Director of Pro- fessional and Industry Relations of NWDA. In making the announcement, Mr. Delibert said that Mr. Straayer was chosen from a select list of executives in the pharmaceutical industry, he him-
self being a pharmacist as well as a.
marketing executive. His most recent experience with the nation’s largest wholesale drug association further quali- fies him forth is key position of revitaliz- ing FWDA.
One of the priority projects on Mr. Straayer’s list, after he joins the FWDA, will be the planning of a Fall meeting of all Active and Associate Members. In- asmuch as reservations have been re- linquished at the Greenbrier for this year, the one or two day meeting will very likely be in New York City.
Before joining the NWDA, Mr. Straayer served as Director of Market Develop- ment and Trade Relations for Schering Corporation. Prior to that, he had held successive executive posts in the sales, trade and public relations areas of Schering for over 25 years.
Mr. Straayer, well known to educators as well as pharmacy leaders at state and national level, comes from a family with long tradition in pharmacy in the state of Michigan. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy at the Ferris State College in 1937 and joined his brother at Straayer Pharmacy in Muskegon, Michigan.
He is a member of the National Asso- ciation of Retail Druggists, the Ameri- can Pharmaceutical Association, a charter member of the Academy of Gen-
eral Practice, and the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists. He served as Chairman of the Rutgers Pharmaceutical Conference in 1962.
In addition to his wide memberships in business and professional groups, Mr. Straayer has been active in civic and charitable enterprises. He formerly scorved as President and Board Chair- man of the New Jersey Chapter of the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation and was cited by the national organiza- tion in 1963 when he was given their Distinquished Service Award. He is past president of the Bloomfield Rotary Foundation and recently concluded his term as President of the Maplewood Civic Association. His club memberships include the Maplewood Country Club and Maple Lodge F & AM, Maplewood, New Jersey.

Chain Drug Stores now Account For 48.3% of Drug Store Sales
Chain drug stores now account for 48.3% of all retail drug store sales in the United States, and 53.3% of the sales in the fifty largest cities, according to a marketing study of this industry pub- lished in the Drug Edition of Chain Store Age.
The survey shows that this 48.3% pro- portion of the retail drug market rose in ten years from 38.7% in 1957, while the number of chain drug stores rose from 8,400 to 12,950, and the gross sales in- creased from $2.33 billion in 1957 to $4.69 billion in 1966. These were jumps from the 1965 figures of 12,329 stores with sales of $4.25 billion and a 47.5% share of the total market.
According to the trade periodical’s en- cyclopedic 32-page study, the reasons for this expansion are high powered promotion, careful selection of store mixes (i.e. varieties of merchandise), and a selling efficiency obtained by careful watch on selling costs.
It is because these factors are best applicable to stores in highly populous

areas that the chains have become strongest in the largest cities—except in the New York metropolitan area. There chains have only 3.2 of all drug stores and only 12.3% of the market, in con- trast to Washington where chains get 83.6% of drug store purchases, 73.9% in El Paso, 58.2% in Los Angeles, 55.8% in Chicago.
Little relationship has been found to exist between the number of chain drug stores in an area and the share the chains have of that area’s market. As an
example, in Kansas City chains with 32% of the stores captured 72.7% of the market in 1966.
The largest drug chains in this expand- ing field are Walgreen with 502 stores, Thrifty Drugs of Los Angeles with 276, People’s Drug of Washington with 279, and Cunningham of Detroit with 235.
Over the last ten years there has been |
an increase of 40% in the number of chains and 58% in the number of chain drug stores.

Quality Stabilization Bill Introduced in Congress
A quality stabilization bill will be considered by the 90th Congress as a result of action taken by Senator Eugene J. McCarthy (D. Minn.) and Senator Thruston B. Morton (R. Kentucky). The Senators are co-authors of Quality Sta- bilization Bill (S. 1460) introduced in this session of Congress.
In addition to the co-authors, the bill is sponsored by Senators Walter F. Mondale (D. Minn.), Birch E. Bayh (D. Indiana), Vance Hartke (D. Ind.), Thomas H. Kuchel (R. California), George McGovern (D. So. Dakota), Gay- lord Nelson (D. Wisconsin), Hugh Scott (R. Pennsylvania), Jennings Randolph (D. W. Virginia), William Proxmire (D: Wisconsin), and Milton R. Young (R. North Dakota).
The proposed legislation is described as a bill to amend the Federal Trade Commission Act to promote quality and price stabilization, to define and restrain certain unfair methods of distribution and to confirm, define and equalize the rights of producers and resellers in the distribution of goods identified by dis- tinguishing brands, names or trademarks and for other purposes.
In introducing this bill Senator Mc- Carthy pointed out that similar pieces of legislation had been considered during the past few years and the problems and issues which had caused these earlier considerations still existed today. He emphasized the necessity of protecting the small independent retailer against certain unjust selling practices.
“The National Association of Retail Druggists has long supported this type of legislation,” said Willard B. Simmons, NARD Executive Secretary. “We are pleased to join with the large number of associations representing small busi- nessmen all over America in making ev- ery attempt to ensure the ultimate passage of this vitally needed amend- ment to the Federal Trade Commission Act.”

Editorial ......
Time for Decision (Time is Running Out)
Has the profession of pharmacy been living on borrowed time? It is apparent that the decisions for the practice of pharmacy for a long time have been too frequently made by those outside the profession. Decisions that affect the pharm- acist’s profession, his status, and his economic and professional survival have been made by non-pharmacist entrepreneurs, by manufacturers, by other professions and by the government.
Of course, pharmacy is part of the health care complex and it is part of the socio-economic political structure. The question is whether pharmacy is to be carried on with some autonomy or whether forces outside of the profession will dominate and control pharmacy.
Every profession, every group in our society which has acquired significant control over its own destiny or which has been recognized as a force of consequence in our society has achieved that position through a representative organization. In other words, the members of the group have established an association and granted it the support necessary to function on its behalf.
Pharmacy must stand on its own feet. Pharmacists and the allied industry have mutual interests. All who have the same goal must back up the profession of pharmacy.
Anyone with any experience with developments in the governmental health programs has seen the State Medical Assistance Program explode to the tune of almost 2 million prescriptions a year. Pharmacy services are budgeted at $7.5 millions. Without the leadership of the MPA, pharmacists would not have the representation in the state policy making bodies which have brought pharmacy fees from pennies to the present professional fee.
In the year 1967-68 pharmacists will receive an additional $720,000 in fees alone due to just the last increase, the third in three years.
On other related fronts the MPA has obtained legislation, especially regarding unprofessional advertising, which has prevented the practices prevalent in some other states,
In the crucial matter of OHO Health Centers in Maryland, the MPA has so far been able to stand up for maintenance of the free practice of pharmacy.
Pharmacy is fortunate in having reached its present status considering the grudging support given it by so many within its ranks and the number who remain outside the fold. Monumental results have been achieved by a handful of dedicated members and a one man staff.
After much debate the Executive Committee has directed that dues for Active Membership be increased for the first time in eleven years. The change will affect only proprietors and managers of pharmacies effective January 1968.
Certainly it must be obvious that just the great increase in the cost of the same services and goods since 1957 require more funds for operation. In addition, the tremendous growth in demand for services from the Association office makes it more
The Maryland Pharmacist Nov.-Dec. 1967 189
and more difficult for the same personnel to meet the needs of the present and the projections for the months ahead.
With governmental and legislative developments affecting every detail of pharmacy and management, the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association must be geared to devote ever more time, effort and funds to just these phases of Associa- tion work.
Already government activities are virtually monopolizing the time of the Executive Secretary.
So this is a time for decision by pharmacy. If we are to be masters of our professional and economic fate, we must have an effective organization—an organization with broad support and adequate funds to provide the tools to back up the dedicated volunteer worker.
Time is running out.

The Pharmacist
JOSEPH COHEN 1906-1967
The passing of Joseph Cohen, who had served pharmacy in Maryland and nationally with distinction, came as a great shock to all who had known him. He died at Johns Hopkins Hospital on November 17 after a long illness.
From January 1953 to November 1961 he had held the positions of Executive Secretary of the Maryland Pharmaceu- tical Association, Editor of The Mary- land Pharmacist and Secretary of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association.
Mr. Cohen was a native of Baltimore, born on November 1, 1906. He attended Baltimore City College and graduated from the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, receiving his Ph.G. degree in 1929.
He owned and operated two pharma- cies in Baltimore for twelve years. He was employed as Sales Manager of Loewy Drug Company, wholesalers, for several years, until he became a state and local pharmaceutical association executive in 1953.
The Kelly Memorial Building, head- quarters for pharmacy in Maryland, was dedicated the same month he took office in the Maryland and Baltimore associa- tions. During his tenure both associa- tions inaugurated a number of projects, such as the Swain Pharmacy Seminar and the BMPA Drug Show.
Mr. Cohen had served on the advisory committee of the State Planning Com- mission Committee on Medical Care, the Mayor’s Committee for Decency, the American Pharmaceutical Association’s Committee on Permanent Organization and Careers in Pharmacy Commission, the National Association of Retail Drug- gists Committee on National Legislation, the Committee on Physician’s Services of the Baltimore City Health Depart-
ment, and the Committee on Pharmacy Services of the Maryland State Depart- ment of Health.
Mr. Cohen was first vice president of the Metropolitan Drug Association Secretaries and third vice president of the National Conference of State Pharm- aceutical Association Secretaries.
He joined the Washington office of the National Association of Retail Drug- gists in 1961 as Director of Professional Service and associate to Philip Jehle, Washington representative. When Mr. Jehle resigned in 1964, Mr. Cohen as- sumed the position of Washington re- presentative for NARD.
He served as president of the Uni- versity of Maryland School of Pharmacy Alumni Association in 1948 and in 1961 received its Honored Alumnus Award. He was a member of St. John’s Lodge of Masons and was past president of the Pratt Street Chowder Heads. He was a charter member of the Baltimore Arex Club and a member of the Chizuk Amuno Congregation.
Mr. Cohen is survived by his wife, the former Bessie Katz; a daughter, Mrs. Elaine C. Elkin, of Newark, Del.; a brother, Thomas Cohen, of Valley Stream, N.Y.; two sisters, Mrs. Cecelia Kleinman, of Baltimore, and Mrs. Mollie Kisseleff, of Hyattsville, Md.; and one grandchild.
He worked diligently and energetically on behalf of pharmacy. He was an elo- quent spokesman on local, state and national levels in the area of pharmacy legislation.
Joseph Cohen was recognized as an outstanding pharmacist. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and colleagues, not only in Maryland, but throughout the nation.

Patents, Progress,
Pharmacy has flourished, thanks in large part to America’s patent system. Under this system, everyone benefits—the physician who prescribes, the pharmacist who dispenses, the patient who receives the medication.
Without the protection afforded by the sys- tem, all concerned would be deprived of that most vital link in the chain of scientific prog- ress—incentive. Without incentive, new drugs would not be searched for... and found.
Today’s drug discovery is not an isolated phenomenon. It grew out of yesterday’s dis-

covery and leads to tomorrow’s. The sulfon- amides, antibiotics, steroids, vitamins and vaccines you dispense today are each stages of a development process which, so far, is unbroken.
To protect all, the patent system itself needs your protection. You can serve pharmacy and progress, the prescribing physician, your customer, yourself by offering such protection. Choose products protected by patents and made in the U.S.A.; reject those which are in violation of American patents.

A Message from the Executive Secretary
Pharmacy Muscle for 1968
The editorial in this issue points out the necessity for the first dues in- crease for active membership since 1957.
In addition to the pressure of ever- rising costs over the past eleven years and continuing on today, the Associa- tion’s expanded activities have required
the use of reserves during the past year.
Naturally this cannot continue without increased revenue,
It is also essential that the MPA im- prove its communications. Other priori- ties of a critical nature in the fields of legislation and governmental health programs have pre-empted the proper attention to the journal and other media.
The Association officers and Executive Committee, after intensive deliberation, have decided that only a realistic dues structure will meet the needs and de- mands of the members for Association programs and action.
The dues structure effective January 1, 1968 will be:
Active and Affiliate Dues Proprietors and managers of pharm-
ACIES C. Lee ee ee, oe ee $50.00 * Pharmacists and Affiliates (other than above) sant eee $25.00 First year registrants, graduate students and retired ........ $10.00
*NOTE: In case of partners or a cor- poration, this fee applies to only one person.
Active Membership is limited to licensed pharmacists. Affiliate Member- ship is available to non-pharmacists who
are proprietors, executives and man-
agers.
Associate (non-pharmacist) Dues will remain at $10.00.
All in pharmacy who have a mature awareness of the problems of today and the need for strong, united action will recognize that this step is unavoidable if Maryland pharmacy is to have muscle for 1968.
Prescription Prepayment Programs
The Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa- tion, together with organized pharmacy in Delaware, District of Columbia, New Jersey and the Philadelphia area, has fostered the establishment of the East- ern Pharmaceutical Service Corporation. The main purpose of “Eastern” is to provide the pharmacists of the region with a pharmacist-managed prescription prepayment program,
“Eastern” has decided to develop an arrangement with the “Paid Prescrip- tions” of California organization.
Mailings will keep you informed of developments in this vital matter as there are now a number of non-phar- macist-managed plans being offered in some states.
In the near future we expect to mail enrollment forms to all pharmacies in Maryland. It is expected that a sub- stantial number of persons will be covered by some form of prescription pre-payment plan. When you receive de- tails and forms, give this matter serious consideration. Your participation in the “Eastern” plan is mandatory if a phar-
The Maryland

macist-managed program is to become part of pharmacy practice in Maryland.
OEO Comprehensive Neighborhood Health Centers
Through vigorous action by MPA and BMPA, the plan to establish a pharmacy for dispensing prescriptions in the OKO Provident Comprehensive Neighborhood Health Center in Baltimore has been suspended.
Provident officials have offered a “compromise” plan whereby after 6 months operation of an “on-site” phar- macy, a joint MPA-Provident Center Pharmacy Committee would evaluate pharmacy services provided to center patients.
MPA has urged that such an evalua- tion be made after 6 months without an “on-site” pharmacy.
As of the present Provident has with- drawn its request for the center from the Baltimore City Council because of our strong opposition and so that its proposals can be reviewed by OEO in Washington.
In the meantime, all pharmacists should intensify their customary efforts to assure that all their patrons receive pharmaceutical services of the highest professional standards. Individual, per- sonal consideration of each patron should always be uniformly provided.
With all best wishes for an everlasting Season of Peace and a Happy and pros- perous New Year.
Sincerely,
Executive Secretary

BOARD OF PHARMACY
Because of its importance to the pro- fession in Maryland, the following let- ter is brought to the attention of all concerned:
Dear Pharmacist:
There seems to be some misunder- standing relative to the law on adver- tising. The law sought to remedy certain practices relative to advertising which were objectionable, deceitful, and inac- curate. The legislature, in its good wis- dom, incorporated a prohibition of ob- jectionable advertising in a legal code of ethics as part of the grounds for suspension and revocation of pharm- acists’ licenses.
I shall quote in part the pertinent por- tion of Section 266A, Article 43 of the Annotated Code of Maryland:
(a) The Board of Pharmacy is hereby granted power and authority either to reprimand a pharmacist or assistant pharmacist or to suspend or revoke his license for any reason as herein- after set forth by a unanimous vote of the members of the Board, after a hearing upon not less than twenty (20) days written notice to such pharmacist or assistant pharmacist.
(c) The Board’s power either to re- primand a pharmacist or assistant pharmacist or to suspend or revoke his license shall be for any of the following causes:
(4) Upon proof satisfactory to the
The Maryland Pharmacist
Board of Pharmacy that a pharmacist or assistant pharmacist is guilty of grossly unprofessional conduct. The following acts on the part of the pharmacist or assistant pharmacist are hereby declared to constitute un- professional conduct.
(iv) The advertising to the public by any means, in any form or through any media, the prices for prescrip- tions, dangerous or nonpropietary drugs or prescriptions whether spe- cifically or as a percentile of prevail- ing prices, or by the use of the terms “cut rate’, “discount”, “bargain” or terms of similar connotation.
(v) The advertising or claiming to the public of professional superiority in the compounding or filling of pres- criptions or in any manner implying professional superiority which may undermine public confidence in the ability, character and integrity of other pharmacists.
It should be made clear to pharma- cists that the advertising to the public by any means, in any form, or through any media, the prices of prescriptions and claiming professional superiority are prohibited by law. This would in- clude advertising on automotive vehicles such as automobiles, delivery trucks and vans, bill boards, streamers and signs on and in premises, window signs, let- ters to physicians and to the public, telephone books and directories, news- papers, journals, etc.
It behooves pharmacists to acquaint themselves fully with the law and to comply fully in order to avoid action against their licenses.
Very truly yours,
F. S. Balassone, Secretary
Maryland Board of Pharmacy NOTE:
The law indicates that a pharmacist associated with a pharmacy may be held responsible for any acts or prac- tices of the pharmacy or its manage- ment which is in violation of the phar- macy laws.

National Pharmacy Week
In Maryland, National Pharmacy Week was observed October 1-7, with ex- tensive newspaper, radio and television publicity. The theme was again “This week and every week your pharmacist works for better community health”.
Information was mailed to every newspaper, radio and television station in Maryland and Washington, D.C. As indicated by clippings received, many newspapers publicized pharmacy. Adver- tisements were placed in the Baltimore Evening Sun and News American.
The information to radio and TV sta- tions consisted of 10, 20 and 30 second spot announcements and also a fact sheet on pharmacy. Newspapers were mailed a news article, a suggested editorial and a fact sheet. The A.Ph.A. Public Relations Kit was used as the basis.

Maryland Health Fair
NOVEMBER 11-19
Pharmacy in Maryland was well re- presented at the first “Maryland Health Fair’ November 11-19 at the Baltimore Civic Center. The fair, under the aus- pices of CICHA (Commerce and _ In- dustry Combined Health Appeal) was supported by many medical and pro- fessional groups, health agencies, public service agencies and institutional and commercial organizations.
A double space, twenty feet in width, was sponsored by the Maryland Phar- maceutical Association, Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Associa- tion, Alumni Association of the Uni- versity of Maryland School of Pharmacy and the School of Pharmacy.

The move is a logical evolution of Noxell’s ever-increasing emphasis on new products, according to Mr. Hunt. “With a single department to coordinate widespread research and development activities for all brands, this vital phase of our overall marketing program will be further strengthened,” he stated.
Mr. Fry has been with Noxell Corpora- tion since 1959, and is a native of Wichita, Kansas. Prior to his new ap- pointment he was Brand Manager for a number of Noxell products.
Noxell Corporation, with its famous Noxzema and Cover Girl lines is the world’s leading manufacturer of medi- cated skin care products.

The services you have come to expect from Gilpin are the most comprehensive and mean- ingful anywhere in America. Industry authorities tell us no other wholesaler in the United States provides as many services with as much value to the pharmacist. That may well be. But what’s of far greater significance to you are the reasons and the results.
We believe it to be the wholesaler’s job to provide what it takes to help his customers to do more business. And that must include a great deal more than the routine delivery of mer- chandise. We recognize that the modern phar- macy, regardless of size, is a highly complex,

“Score” Aids Small Business
Contrary to popular impression, the Small Business Administration has a Congressional mission which extends far beyond the making of loans—the Agency has sought to develop an appreciation for the small businessman’s aspirations as well as his problems.
In addition to providing information in connection with its loan program and selling to—and buying from—the Gov- ernment, the SBA also provides infor- mation and assistance to small business- men to help them do a better job of starting or managing a small business.
Many don’t understand that the name of the game is not making loans, but the name of the game is helping people become successful businessmen,
Every year, on the national scale, there are about 440,000 new business starts and about 400,000 discontinuances of small operations. In addition to the cold economic toll, these losses repre- sent disappointment, unhappiness, and broken dreams to the people who tried and failed. Many business casualties could have been avoided if the owners of these businesses had been offered and had accepted timely management advice. It has been established that the vast majority of small business failures are the result of poor management or un- informed management rather than from small size or abusive competition.
An important highlight of SBA’s serv- ices is designated as SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives). What is SCORE? Basically. it is a concept of human relations—a feeling of compas- sion for the other fellow— the little guy who needs your help.
SBA’s new Administrator, Bernard L. Boutin, recently stated, “The philosophy of SCORE has much appeal to me. Its strong humanistic basis provides a model for other programs in effectively reaching small business.”

SCORE is a relatively new activity which the SBA has developed and put into effect with the remarkable coopera- tion of a nation-wide group of partially or fully retired individuals with strong management or specialized professional backgrounds.
Early retirement has made many more useful years available to retired suc- cessful and responsible executives of large and small concerns in business and industry. The hustle and drive that bring men to the top of the business world doesn’t die because the man retires. The SBA has found that many of these active men put on the shelf in their business prime wanted to feel useful again and don’t like the feeling that their skills and experience had suddenly ceased to have value.
Under this program, SCORE volunteer counselors make their knowledge and experience available without cost to small concerns looking for methods of strengthening their management, or to new or troubled small businesses seek- ing guidance through the basics and, on occasion, some of the complexities of present-day business existence. Their mission is to provide effective, sym- pathetic management counsel to these small firms which cannot presently afford to engage a consultant on a fee basis.
There are no rigid requirements that the SCORE volunteer be partially or fully retired; merely that he have a background suiting him to specialized or general business counseling and that he have at least a modest amount of time to devote to this activity. The talent, incidentally, need not be taken on faith alone. Every retired executive who makes his services available to the SCORE program has a record of man- agerial experience which is verified be- fore he takes on his first assignment.
Since its inception about a year and a half ago, SCORE has applied its re- servoir of talent and experience toward helping more than 15,000 small firms
The Maryland Pharmacist
improve their management techniques or overcome present difficulties.
The SCORE Program is fully opera- tional in Baltimore under the aegis of a self-administered unit known as_ the SCORE Volunteers of America, Chapter No. 3, Baltimore Metropolitan area un- der the chairmanship of Mr. C. J. Lacy. The SCORE volunteers have consistently found good fellowship among their membership and genuine satisfaction in their service to local firms and the local and national economies.
Meredith R. Hoffmaster, SBA Regional Director, is calling for additional SCORE volunteers and he urges retired ex- ecutives and managers of small businesses in Maryland to join in this significant program. If your executive skills are lying fallow and you would like to put them at the disposal of SCORE, Mr. Hoffmaster will welcome your inquiries to the Small Business Administration, Baltimore, Regional Office, Federal Office Building, Charles Center, Baltimore, Maryland 21201.
Maryland Pharmacists Win NARD-Lederle Award
Melvin J. Sollod, member of the Mary- land Pharmaceutical Association Execu- tive Committee, and Gerald Y. Dechter, partners in the Adelphia Terrace Phar- macy in Adelphia, received honorable mention as runners-up in the NARD- Lederle contest.
The two pharmacists, both past presi- dents of the Prince Georges-Montgomery County Pharmaceutical Association were nominated by the Maryland Pharma- ceutical Association for their work in de- veloping a directory of physicians in their area who signified that their office assistants were authorized to transmit prescription refill instructions. The pro- ject is conducted by the bi-county group and has received the cooperation of physicians in the area.

Remington Medal Awarded to Dr. Apple
The Remington Medal, awarded to many of pharmacy’s outstanding leaders, was presented to Dr. William S. Apple, Executive Director of the American Pharmaceutical Association in New York on November 29.
In his acceptance speech he empha- sized the theme of professional integrity and in favor of manufacturers-brand names rather than product brands. He stressed that pharmacists must de- termine for themselves the value of their professional services. Dr. Apple pointed to the leadership role he served in explaining the fee basis for reim- bursement of pharmacists for profes- sional services and that prescription drugs are not ordinary consumer goods.
The Remington Medal was established by the New York Branch of the Ameri- can Pharmaceutical Association. Dr. Apple was the 42nd recipient. He was cited by the awards committee for “brilliant achievements” and “because the last eight years under his leader- ship have been the most productive and professionally successful in the associa- tion for several decades”.
Among those attending from Maryland were Victor H. Morgenroth, Jr., 1st Vice President elect of the A.Ph.A.; Dr. Noel E. Foss, Dean, University of Mary- land School of Pharmacy; F. S. Baias- sone, Secretary of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy; Dr. L. M. Kantner, retired Secretary of the Board of Pharmacy; Harold M. Goldfeder, Morton J. Schna- per, members of MPA Executive Com- mittee and Nathan I. Gruz, Executive Secretary MPA and BMPA.

Model State Drug Abuse Control Act
The Maryland State Department of Health announced it will request the intro- duction of the Model State Drug Abuse Control Act patterned after the federal act.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Maryland, That this Act may be cited as the State Drug Abuse Control Act.
Findings and Declaration of Policy and Purpose—The General Assembly of the State of Maryland hereby finds that it is essential to the public health and safety to regulate and control the manu- facture, distribution, delivery and posses- sion of depressant and stimulant drugs, and other drugs which have a potential for abuse because of their depressant or stimulant effect on the central nervous system or because of their hallucino- genic effect, as defined in this Act.
It is, therefore, hereby declared to be the policy and intent of the General As- sembly and the purpose of this Act to regulate and control such manufacture, distribution, delivery, and possession, and in particular, but without limitation of such purpose, to afford the public the therapeutic benefits of such drugs un- der medical supervision; to complement and supplement the laws and regulations of the Congress of the United States and the appropriate agencies of the Federal Government affecting such manufacture, distribution, and delivery; to prevent such manufacture, distribution and de- livery for harmful or illegitimate pur- poses; and to place upon manufacturers, wholesalers, licensed compounders of prescriptions, and persons prescribing such drugs, a basic responsibility for preventing the improper distribution of such drugs to the extent that such drugs are produced, handled, sold, or pres- cribed by them.
The General Assembly further finds and declares that there is a substantial traffic in counterfeit drugs simulating the brand or other identifying mark or device of the manufacturer of the genuine article; that such traffic poses a
serious hazard to the health of innocent consumers of such drugs because of the lack of proper qualifications, facilities, and manufacturing controls on the part of the counterfeiter, whose operations are clandestine; and that these factors require enactment of additional controls with respect to such drugs.
Section 1. For the purpose of this Act—
(a) The term “Department” the State Department of Health.
(b) The term “person” includes in- dividual, partnership, corporation, and association.
(c) (1) The term “drug” means (A) articles recognized in the official United States Pharmacopoeia, official Homeo- pathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, or official National Formulary, or any supplement of any of them; and (B) articles intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease in man or other animals; and (C) articles (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other animals; and (D) articles intended for use aS a component of any article specified in clause (A), (B), (C); but does not include devices or their com- ponents, parts, or accessories.
(2) The term “counterfeit drug” means a drug which, or the container or labeling of which, without authorization, bears the trademark, trade name, or other identifying mark, imprint, or device, or any likeness thereof, of a drug manufacturer, processor, packer, or distributor other than the person or persons who in fact manufactured, pro- cessed, packed, or distributed such drug and which thereby falsely purports, or is represented to be the product of, or to have been packed or distributed by, such other drug manufacturer, pro- cessor, packer, or distributor.

(c) Any person, firm or corporation having an interest in the alleged article, equipment, or other thing proceeded against, or any person, firm or corpora- tion against whom a civil or criminal liability would exist if said merchandise is in violation of section 2 of this Act may, within 20 days following the Sheriff’s seizure, appear and file answer or demurrer to the complaint. The answer or demurrer shall allege the interest or liability of the party filing it. In all other respects the issue shall be made up as in other civil actions.
(d) (1) Any article, equipment, con- veyance or other thing condemned under this section shall, after entry of the decree, be disposed of by destruction or sale as the court may, in accordance with the provisions of this section, direct and the proceeds thereof, if sold, less the legal costs and charges shall be paid to the Treasurer of the State; but such article, equipment, or other thing shall not be sold under such decree contrary to provisions of this Act.
(2) Whenever in any proceedings un- der this section the condemnation of any equipment or conveyance or other thing (other than a drug) is decreed, the court shall allow the claim of any claim- ant, to the extent of such claimant’s interest, for remission or mitigation of such forfeiture if such claimant proves to the satisfaction of the court (A) that he has not committed or caused to be committed any prohibited act referred to in subparagraph (a) and has no interest in any drug referred to therein, (B) that he has an interest in such equipment or other thing as owner
or lienor or otherwise, acquired by him in good faith, and (C) that he at no time had any knowledge or reason to believe that such equipment, or con- veyance or other thing was being or would be used in, or to facilitate, the violations of the laws of this state re- lating to depressant or stimulant drugs or counterfeit drugs.

BMPA NEWS
The Public Relations Committee made arrangements for the second issue of the Baltimore Apartment Shoppers Guide to be distributed through neighborhood pharmacies in the Greater Baltimore area.
As in the previous issue, there is a page telling the people of the area the importance of their neighborhood com- munity Pharmacist to the welfare of each and every family. The message, of course, is under the heading of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Association.
The Baltimore Apartment Shoppers Guide is free to patrons and is another of the many helpful services community pharmacies can offer their patrons.
It should be displayed prominently so that patrons can easily see it, and take advantage of this easy way to find an apartment.
Participation in this public relations program is easy and all will benefit from publicity directing the public to visit their neighborhood pharmacy to obtain a copy of the Guide.
Additional copies of the Guide can be ordered.

Test Shows Women Past 50 Have Higher Cholesterol Levels Than Men of Any Age
More women than men past age 50 were found to have cholesterol levels above the epidemiologists’ “break point”. This was established in the first successful mass blood cholesterol screen- ing test ever held, which was conducted in Woburn, Massachusetts. Dr. William B. Kanel, cardiologist-epidemiologist, cautioned in regard to the association of cholesterol and incidence of coronary heart disease. He stated, “one must re- member that a high cholesterol level is only one of a number of factors known to increase risk of coronary heart dis- ease, Blood pressure is one. Disease is another—diabetes, for example. Obesity,
