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.

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.
The Maryland Pharmacist
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-
14 The Maryland Pharmacist
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
Delivered by Charles E. Spigelmire
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.
The Maryland Pharmacist 1?
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.
The Maryland Pharmacist
The comparable figures for membership in 1964-65 and of
1963-64 are:
Active Associate Affiliate Totals
December 31, 1964.00 oe 780 44 35 859
Convention 1964 Wome oe 709 42 33 7184
Convention YS Lem oc 7102 By aly. 770
Your chairman wishes to thank all of the members of the com-
mittee who assisted in the work and attended the meetings, and also
to thank the Secretary and the office staff for their cooperation and
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-

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

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.
SECOND SESSION
Tuesday, June 29
Preceding the Second Session breakfast meeting of the officers
and executive committees of MPA and the local associations held

Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr., who then called upon Mr. Weiner for the
Annual Presidential Address.
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 Maryland Pharmacist 45
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’.
Alexander J. Ogrinz, Jr.
The Buck Rogers world, which was a fantasy 20 years ago, is a
reality today. Satellites, missiles, space ships, planetary explorations,
even strolls into space have become accepted in our everyday life
The Maryland Pharmacist 47
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.

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.
The following table shows those granted registration by
reciprocity during the 1965 Fiscal Year:

58 The Maryland Pharmacist
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

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

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.
REPORT OF RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE
Dr. Noel E. Foss, Chairman
The Resolutions Committee met and offers the following reso-
lutions.
The resolutions will be read and those without objection will
be voted upon at the conclusion. The remainder will be considered
individually.
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion, in annual convention assembled, that it congratulates and
extends every good wish for the success of the 1965 convention of
the New Jersey Pharmaceutical Association being held in Atlantic
City during this same week, and for the opportunity and privilege
of sharing in some of the same programs, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to the appropriate officer of the New Jersey Pharma-
ceutical Association.
The Maryland Pharmacist 7|
WHEREAS, Maryland, with support from Federal grants, js
engaged in community mental health planning to provide for bet-
ter care of mentally ill, within the State, and
WHEREAS, this care will encourage prompt and comprehen-
sive services—including diagnosis, rapid treatment and effective re-
habilitation—in Community Mental Health Centers close to patients’
homes, utilizing the maximum that is available of community thera-
peutic and rehabilitative resources, and
WHEREAS, Pharmacy has not been included in community
mental health planning as a vitally interested group within this
State, and
WHEREAS, Pharmacy is an important part of any local com-
munity mental health planning because it can help develop efficient
drug distribution and dispensing methods for these Community
Mental Health Centers.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Maryland Pharma-
ceutical Association, in annual convention assembled, urges its
members and directs the Executive Committee to participate im-
mediately in community mental health planning at local and state
levels.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in
annual convention assembled, that it commend the Federal Trade
Commission for its continuing activities against false and mislead-
ing advertising, including drugs and related products, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association in
annual convention assembled, that it urge its members not to pro-
mote health preparations that are cited by the Federal Trade Com-
mission as an expression of its continued interest in the safety of
the public health, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution
be distributed to the membership of the Association.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in
annual convention assembled, that it commends and at the same
time wishes every success to the American Pharmaceutical Asso-
ciation on its establishment of ‘“‘The Academy of General Practice”
which will devote its efforts to the problems and programs of the
community pharmacist, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to the American Pharmaceutical Association.
RESOLVED, by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Association, in
annual convention assembled, that it commend those manufacturers
whose policies make drugs available to community pharmacists on
the same terms and conditions to which they are made available
72 The Maryland Pharmacist
to all hospitals and other institutions for medical service, which
similarly engage in dispensing prescription medication to the public,
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all manufacturers be urged
to review their distribution policies to non-profit, tax-exempt in-
stitutions to assure that drug purchases and usage are consistent
with the terms and conditions of the sale.
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.

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-

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.

The officers and members of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Asso-
ciation take this opportunity in the Annual Proceedings Issue of the
Maryland Pharmacist to acknowledge their appreciation to the Travel-
ers Auxiliary for assuring the success of the MPA Convention. TAMPA
is a tradition at every Annual Meeting of the MPA.
The officers and committees of TAMPA exerted every effort in
assisting the Association in its program of entertainment and co-
operated in every way possible.
In addition, TAMPA members manned the registration desk, un-
dertook many other responsibilities, and provided congenial fellow-
ship.

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.
There is an intangible value gained by watch- MERCK PRESCRIPTION CHEMICALS

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.

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
Pharmacists and everyone in the drug
field must familiarize themselves with
the provisions of H.R. 2—the Drug
Abuse Amendments Act of 1965. Else-
where in this issue our legal counsel,
Joseph S. Kaufman, reviews the new
law for the information of all.
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!
B.M.P.A. INSTALLATION
The 1966 Installation Dinner Meeting
of the Baltimore Metropolitan Pharma-
ceutical Association has been set for
Thursday, January 13, at the Emerald
Gardens. All members are urged to
make reservations upon receiving details
in the mail.
ENROLLMENT IN BLUE CROSS PLAN
The annual enrollment period for the
Association Group Blue Cross Plan is
January 1st through January 15th. All
members and non-pharmacist full time
employees of pharmacist members may
enroll or transfer from individual mem-
bership and other groups.
PRIORITY PROJECTS FOR M.P.A.
Your Association officers and commit-
tees are proceeding with the following
high priority projects:
1. Policies and compensation for
pharmacy services under. the
Maryland Medical Care Program
and Medicare.
2. Prescription Prepayment Plans.
3. Pharmacy legislation, regulation
and enforcement.
4. Status of pharmacists in the
Armed Services (draft deferment
and military assignments).
5. Hospital pharmacy practices.
6. Pharmacy practices in nursing
homes,
7. Liaison with the State Medical
Society (new Federal Drug Abuse
Law, physician ownership of phar-
macies and drug dispensing).
8. Mental health centers planning.
In addition to these critical matters,
we are of course involved in a host of
other vital programs. Some of these are:
careers in Pharmacy, scholarships, con-
tinuing education (seminars, convention
and regional meeting programs), manu-
facturers’ policies, public information,
inter-professional relations and many
others.
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

The Maryland Pharmacist
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.”

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

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
NOVEMBER 1965 No. 1
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

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

sel for the Maryland Pharmaceuti-
cal Association and the Baltimore
Metropolitan Pharmaceutical Asso-
ciation.
a et

27, Section 284 thru 289 Annotated Code of
Maryland, 1957 Edition)
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 .
2 See Legislative History, 1965—U.S. Congres-
sional and Administrative News, Page 1578

. 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.
4 The most prominent of the hallucinogenic drugs
being abused today is d-lysergie acid diethyl-
amide (commonly referred to as LSD-25) used
in psychotherapy and as a research tool in
psychiatry.
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.

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-

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.

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
November 1965 293
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.

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.

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-

Editorial......
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

Poison Prevention Week
March 20-26, 1966
Poison Prevention Week is an annual
opportunity for pharmacists to empha-
size to the public the role of pharmacy
as a profession concerned with public
health. The Association will provide
pharmacies with window streamers and
fliers.
Television, radio and newspaper mes-
sages have been arranged to inform the
public of the necessity for taking pre-
cautions in the handling and storing of
drugs.
Pharmacists may further their identi-

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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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
“««. . , the problem is an explosive one and
unless constant vigilance is maintained .. .
could get out of hand to the detriment of
public health and welfare.”
George P. Larrick
U.S. Commissioner of Food and Drugs
“Counterfeiting of new and potent drugs is
on the increase. If permitted to go on
unchecked, it could lead to chaos in the
marketing of new drugs and will inevitably
result in a public health hazard.”’
Robert F. Kennedy
Senator from the State of New York
if pharmacists buy only from local
suppliers they know to be reputable.

320 December 1965
The Maryland Pharmacist
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

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.

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.”

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

The Maryland Pharmacist
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
The Maryland Pharmacist
December 1965 339
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
The Maryland Pharmacist
SIMON SOLOMON
the American Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion. His speech was entitled “Professio-
nalism: Monologue or Dialogue” and
dealt with the basic economics and new
methods of professional pharmaceuti-
cal practice. “The Exploding Cosmetic
Market” was then explored by Mrs.
Mickey Jordan, Clairol Cosmetic Forum
Director.

APhA—MPA Student Charter
Meetings
November 30, 1965
Approximately 90 members heard
Major Leroy D. Werley, Jr., USAF, MSC
talk on the subject ‘Pharmacists and
the Air Force.” Himself a pharmacist,
Major Werley has an extremely broad
background in pharmacy, hospital ad-
ministration, and military service. His
talk, as reported by Stephen L. Buckner,
Secretary of the Chapter, was very in-
formative and well received.
December 7, 1965
Dr. Donald J. Allen, Research Asso-
ciate from Merck, Sharp and Dohme
was the speaker for this meeting, at-
tended by 85 members of the Student
Chapter of the University of Maryland
School of Pharmacy. Mr. Allen, a li-
censed pharmacist from South Africa,
with a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from
the University of Michigan answered
questions about the employment pos-
sibilities at MSD, as well as describing
its various divisions, its history, and
the present salary ranges for pharm-
acists.
December 14, 1965
At its mid-December meeting, the Stu-
dent Chapter, with 90 members present
heard Mr. Richard Goss, Baltimore Dis-
trict Superintendent of the Upjohn Com-
pany, whose talk revolved around the
showing of a film, “Come Climb a Moun-
tain—the Challenge of Pharmaceutical
Sales.” This film, written and produced
by the Upjohn Special Department,
traced the life of one of the Company’s
salesmen from his first day on the job,
depicting his training, requirements, and
dealings with his own customers. The
talk, which was followed by questions
from the students, included a listing of
the many advantages and company bene-

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-
*Chairman, Careers in Pharmacy |

School of Pharmacy, University of
Maryland.
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.

"‘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.

Your MPhA Life policy is noncancel-
lable: Except for failure to pay prem-

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.

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
362 January 1966 The Maryland Pharmacist
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:
The Maryland Pharmacist
January 1966 367
President—George W. Andrews
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.

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.
January 1966 369
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
370 January 1966
DR. J. FARIS MOORE
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
The Maryland Pharmacisi
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.
The Maryland Pharmacist
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
The Maryland Pharmacist
January 1966 373
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
374 January 1966
The Maryland Pharmacis:
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-
*Associate Professor of Medicine in
Clinical Microbiology, University of
Maryland School of Medicine,
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
we must get RIGHT DOWN TO THE BRASS TACKS OF SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS

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. 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.
Lee E. Filer, a member of the Coun-
cil of the American Pharmaceutical
Association, and Dayton, Ohio, commu-
nity practitioner, has been elected to
serve as Chairman of the Section on
Pharmacy of the Pan American Fed-
eration of Pharmacy and Biochemistry.
He thus becomes the second U.S. phar-
macist to serve on the Directing Coun-
cil of the Federation. A.Ph.A.’s Com-
munications Division Director, George
B. Griffenhagen, is First Vice President
of the Federation.
The A.Ph.A. has been invited to or-
ganize a special session on the “Func-
tion of the Pharmacist in Public
Health”, and U.S. pharmacists are in-
vited by Secretary General Santiago
Celsi to contribute papers to the sec-
tions, which include pharmaceutical
practice, history, legislation, education,
industry, technology, pharmaceutical
chemistry, pharmacognosy, phytochem-
istry, microbiology, bromatology and
biochemistry.

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

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.

Free Management Tools
Every skilled person requires tools to
operate properly. The business manager,
too, requires tools. He doesn’t use a
hammer and nails, but he does con-
struct a decision based on interpreta-
tion of financial data.
The Lilly Analysis Service tabulates
your financial data on computers and
provides you with an individual sum-
mary of operations. Each report receives
a personal review and analysis by a
trained staff. Comparisons are made
with averages obtained from similar
pharmacies and significant differences
reported.
A complete report is returned to each
participant promptly and contains a
summary page, general and specific
comments and, if indicated, helpful
Maryland Pharmacist
suggestions for improvement used suc-
cessfully by other pharmacists. The
clear, concise nature of the personal
analysis has benefited thousands of
pharmacy owners. The objective of the
report is to provide uncomplicated, us-
able data with which a pharmacist-
owner can make effective business de-
cisions.
The report is entirely confidential and
completely free of charge to you.
Anonymous statements are processed
and mailed, if an adequate address is
provided.

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-

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.

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.

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
“If I had my way, I would write
the word ‘insure’ over the door of
every cottage and upon the blotting
book of every public man, because
I am convinced that for sacrifices
that are inconceivably small, fam-
ilies can be secured against catas-
trophe which otherwise would
smash them up forever.”

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.,

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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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

compliance measures.
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

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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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

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.
444 February 1966
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.

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.
To order the material on Medicare,

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

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

Secretarys Script .
The Maryland Pharmacist
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.

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.
*Assistant Director, Scientific Division, Ameri-
can Pharmaceutical Association.
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

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-
The Maryland Pharmacisi
stein, Assistant Director of the Scien-
tific Division of the American Pharma-_
ceutical Association; Dr. John G. Adams, -
Director of the Office of Scienttific Ac-_
tivities of the Pharmaceutical Manufac- —
turer’s Association; Dr. John B. DeHoff, |
Acting Director of the Medical Care
Services of the Baltimore City Health
Department and Ursula Heyer, Chief
Pharmacist of the Greater Baltimore |
Medical Center.
The Swain Pharmacy Seminar is.
dedicated to the memory of a man
whose life was devoted to the profession |
of pharmacy. 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.

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

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

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

family affair. Bob Williams and his dad
enjoyed themselves as did Abrian

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.

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.

GEST report, based on the operations
of 968 community pharmacies, is sum-
marized below and is compared with

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.

“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

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.

Urea in Cosmetics
By B. F. ALLEN, Ph. D.
University of Maryland School of Pharmacy
The word cosmetic is used both as a
noun and an adjective and has been
defined in several ways: pertaining to
or making for beauty, especially of the
complexion; beautifying; anid any prep-
aration to be applied to the surface of
the human body for lending attractive-
ness, for make-up or for cleansing, or
for conditioning the skin.
For
POSess,
more specific dermatologic pur-
the following definition is also
applicable: agents used on the skin for.
therapeutic purposes which allow for
esthetic acceptance both subjectively
and objectively.
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
The Maryland Pharmacist
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

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

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

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.

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.

The Maryland Pharmacis:
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

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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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

Secretarys Scrinl .
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
A Message From The
Paramount Photo Service
MRS. MILTON A. FRIEDMAN
It all began twelve years ago. At
first, I was just a spectator, but since
May 1966 575
her committee, who have served and
always will serve to brighten up our
meetings and entertainment with their
“Jouex de Vie”.
A special thanks to Loewy Drug for
supplying us with a bus to and from
Tamiment.
To my committee, and the suppliers
who contributed toward this Conven-
tion, my heartiest thanks. To Mr. Ogrinz
and Secretary Gruz for their advice and
counsel go my warmest thanks.
I look forward to greeting each and
every one of you personally at Tami-
ment.
Ge
President Of LAMPA
then I have climbed LAMPA’s ladder
from committee member and chairman
to Vice President and now, President.
This message allows the opportu-
nity for me, as your President, to ex-
press my sincere appreciation for the
privilege of serving you.
LAMPA’s Fall Regional Meeting at
the Peter Pan Inn started the year,
which closed with the Spring Regional
at Turf Valley Country Club. Our An-
nual Luncheon and Fashion Show, just
recently held at the Sheraton Belvedere
Hotel, was a big success.
The MPA Convention this year will
be at Tamiment-in-the-Poconos. An
excellent afternoon is planned for the
ladies on Tuesday with Miss Judith
Keith giving a delightful program on
“Tt Haven’t A Thing To Wear’. The
Annual Meeting of LAMPA will precede
Miss Keith’s talk.
Tamiment provides facilities for every
age, counselors for the very young, art
classes, tennis, golf, swimming and just
relaxing. Discuss this four day trip with
your husbands and friends and come!
You'll be glad that you did.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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

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.

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.

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,
specialized operation. It takes a great d
up-dated professional knowledge and sk
new product awareness, in fully adequate s
for both sides of the counter—in fast, eff
deliveries, in accurate modern billing met
It is an awareness that helps our
tomers do a more vital and professional jo!
do more business. It is the reason such a
proportion of your area’s most successful
macies are GILPIN serviced pharmacies.

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

The Maryland Pharmacist
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.”

The Maryland Pharmacist
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
The Maryland Pharmacist

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.”

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.
We see 6-story, 300-bed nursing homes”
being built to provide post-hospital care
for patients. Most do not have their
own pharmacy. They rely on neighbor-
hood pharmacists. We have noted that
the voluntary optional coverage under

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-
June 1966 635
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.
June 1966
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.

macy students.

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.
The guests and President Bloom out-
lined the many features and attractions
associated with the annual convention
at Tamiment in the Poconos.
Jim Tyson, representative for SIR
Sales, and Robert Williams, representa-
tive for Lance were voted into TAMPA
membership.
We were happy to learn that Walter
Mills had been promoted to the position
of supervisor with F. A. Davis.
We also heard via the grapevine that
past-president Al Callahan is seriously
considering turning in his ensign’s uni- |
form for airplane pilot’s wings. It could
be true. After all, you can get to Ocean
City faster by plane than you can by.
boat (or is it ship?).

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

How antibiotics disrupt the heredi-

on plants, animals, and man were
among the topics considered in a sym-

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

MORRIS R. YAFFE
Rockville
Morris R. Yaffe, elected president of
the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion for 1966-67, has dedicated himself
to the advancement of his profession.
Most of his spare time is devoted to ac-
tivities of his local, national and state
pharmacettical associations. In addition,
he often takes time off from his regular
schedule for Association, Board of Phar-
macy and health department meetings.
A native of Baltimore, Morris R. Yaffe
received his B.S. in Pharmacy from the
University of Maryland in 1936. He
operated a pharmacy in Bethesda for
nine years. For the past nine years he
ahs been operating his own pharmacy
in Potomac, near Rockville.
He is one of the founders of the
Prince Georges-Montgomery County
Pharmaceutical Association and was
elected its second president.
He served on Montgomery County Ad-
visory Committee to the’ Health De-
partment on Medical Care for six years
and was president for two years. He
represented pharmacy on the _ special
committee on Medical Services Advisory
Board to the Montgomery County Coun-
cil for three years, acting as its chair-
man for one year.
The Maryland Pharmacist
Mr. Yaffe is currently a member of
the Pharmacy Services Committee of
the State Council on Medical Care of the
State Health Department, to which he
was appointed 5 years ago.
He was recognized by his neighbors
by election as President of the Potomac |
Chamber of Commerce.
President Yaffe has been active on
many of our Association committees |
and served as chairman of the Member-
ship Committee for two years. In April
1966, he was appointed to a five-year
term on the Maryland Board of Pharm-
acy.
Yaffee is married and has three chil-
dren, a married daughter, Leslie, a grad-
uate of the University of Maryland, a
son, Sam, majoring in psychology at the
University of Maryland, and a son,
Bruce, now a senior at Bethesda-Chevy |
Chase High School, who is planning to |
follow his father’s footsteps.
Yaffe also has two grandchildren.

"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.
I realize that hospital drug purchases
will certainly increase under the new
expanding programs, but so will drug
and medical supply purchases in retail
stores. The independent retail drug
store is here to stay and to grow in im-
The Maryland Pharmacist
portance because of the vital profes-
sional service it renders and the con-
venience it affords the American public:
We recognize that Medicare is the
law of the land. While it may be amend-
ed, it will not be repealed. Our objective
for the future is to preserve the pa-
tient’s freedom to choose his drug store,
to assist our members in their desire to
be centers for health and Medicare in-
formation, and to vigorously protect the
independent retail druggist as he serves
the pharmaceutical needs of the Ameri-
can public in an honest and profes-
sional manner by providing quality
drugs where and when needed.

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.
708 July 1966
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
The Maryland Pharmacist July 1966 711
Tell them you saw it in “The Maryland Pharmacist”

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-
Their
issue of the American Pharmaceutical
Association’s Journal of Pharmaceutical -
Sciences.
The authors searched the literature
but found no data which indicated that

)
|
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

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).

Proprietary Pharmaceuticals made to Ethical Standards
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.

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-
>
748
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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
@: 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.

Physicians
: May a physician refuse to accept a
patient?
: Yes. Each physician decides whether
or not he will participate in the
Maryland Medical Assistance pro-
gram and may choose to accept indi-
viduals or not. However, participat-
ing physicians, that is those render-
ing service, must comply with the
provisions of the Civil Rights Act.
: May a physician charge the patient
an additional amount over the estab-
lished rate of reimbursement?
No.

physician offer his services?
: The physician may be reimbursed for
treatment of a patient in his Office,
the patient’s home, or a nursing
home.
: May a physician receive reimburse-
ment for services rendered to a hos-
pital inpatient?
: No. At present, payment is not au-
thorized to a private physician for
visits, surgery, or any other services
to a hospitalized patient, except for
obstetrical care in those hospitals
which do not have an obstetrical
house staff.
: May a physician refer a patient to a
consultant specialist?
Yes.
: May a physician refer a patient to a
clinical pathologist?
Yes.
: May a physician be reimbursed for
drugs he issues from his office sup-
plies?
Reimbursement is authorized
for drugs which cost the physician
$.50 or more.
: May a physician be reimbursed for

: Yes, when a physician delivers a baby
in the home or in a hospital which
does not have a house staff physician
assigned to obstetrics or gynecology.

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.
: How does a patient receive neces-
sary drugs and supplies?
: Prescriptions for drugs are written
by the physician on Form MS-6. The
form must be properly filled out and

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-

excess of $10;
2) antibiotics are for periods in ex-
cess of ten days;
3) drugs are for treatment of any

log, plus a pharmacist’s fee in ac-
cordance with the established fee
schedule.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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.

: 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

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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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
August 1966 76!
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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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”.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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.
One final word—not only does ade-
quate insurance coverage maintain peace
of mind, it actually saves the solvency
of thousands of pharmacies each year.
Consult with your agent.
“The saddest words of voice or pen
after a loss are—
‘Not insured—but should have been’.”’

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

The Maryland Pharmacist |
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
*President, Baltimore Veteran Druggists’ As-
sociation, with the collaboration of B. Olive Cole.
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
What's in the

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.

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.

The Maryland Pharmacist
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-

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).

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,

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

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-

(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

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

in mind the basic function and

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-

Services
(Continued from Page 208)
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.
The Voluntary Plan
So much for the Universal or Basic in-
The Maryland Pharmacist
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.

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.
The Maryland Pharmacist November, 1966 229
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. A copy of the report

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

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.

A Message from the Executive Secretary
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-

problems, and will prove educational
and enriching to all. Only your partici-
pation can make the program serve its
full usefulness to our profession. Please

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.

When policy decisions are made at Roche...
21 pharmacists are there.
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.

PETER P. LAMY
Dr. Peter P. Lamy, Associate Professor
of Pharmacy, University of Maryland
School of Pharmacy, will speak at the
Wednesday session on “The Community
Pharmacist as Physicians See Him”.
The results of a survey involving 300
physicians out of 1000 who were queried
revealed some _ startling information.
Physicians were asked their opinions of
the pharmacist’s professional status, his
education and his ability to act as a
medication expert.
The physician was asked why he Sse-
lects a certain pharmacy, what he ex-
pects a pharmacist to do, whether he
would want the pharmacist to give cer-
tain information to patients and other
questions.
Dr. Lamy, a graduate of the Phila-
delphia College of Pharmacy and Sci-
ence, joined the faculty of the University
of Maryland, School of Pharmacy, as
Assistant Professor of Pharmacy in Sep-
tember 1963.
Dr. Lamy, a native of Germany was
Instructor in Pharmacy at the Phila-
delphia College of Pharmacy and Science
from 1956-June 1963 while pursuing
graduate work leading to the M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees.
During this time, he also held an ap-
pointment as Instructor in Pharma-
cology at the Woman’s Hospital of Phila-
delphia and as Assistant to the Director
of Pharmacy Service, Jefferson Medical
College and Hospital in Philadelphia. He
has also been active in community phar-
macy and industrial pharmacy.
Dr. Lamy, author of several publica-
tions, is a member of several organiza-
tions, among them the American Phar-
maceutical Association, American Socie-
ty of Hospital Pharmacists, American
Association for the Advancement of Sci-
ence and Rho Chi.
This year he was elected Vice Presi-
dent of the Maryland Association of
Hospital Pharmacists.
Dr. Lamy worked with the Maryland
Pharmaceutical Association in the plan-
ning and design of the Swain Model
Pharmacy presented by the Association
to the School of Pharmacy. He is serv-
ing as director of the model pharmacy
and is scheduled to present instruction
utilizing the facility.
RALPH F. SHANGRAW
Dr. Ralph F. Shangraw, Associate Pro-
fessor of Pharmacy, University of Mary-
land School of Pharmacy, will speak at
the Tuesday session on ‘‘Preceptorship—
A Needed New Look”.
The crucial importance of internship
and apprenticeship to the future of the
profession is not fully realized by all in
pharmacy. Dr. Shangraw’s presentation
will summarize current pharmacy in-
ternship programs and the position of
the American Association of Colleges of
Pharmacy. He will review present Mary-
land regulations, their advantages and
disadvantages.
Dr. Shangraw has suggestions for a
more meaningful program covering

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.

TAMPA President's Message
FREDERICK H. PLATE
As president of the Traveler’s Auxiliary
of the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion, it is a pleasure to welcome all of
you to another outstanding convention
of the MPA, LAMPA and TAMPA.
I am happy to be able to say that
TAMPA again has worked with MPA and
LAMPA to guarantee a truly wonderful
program of entertainment and recrea-
tion for all.
Entertainment Chairman Bill Pokorny
has arranged a wonderful “Night at the
Races” Tuesday evening. This will be in
the tradition of the annual TAMPA ex-
travaganza with prizes and gifts galore.
You just can’t lose by attending. There
will be fun for all.
Our baseball squad has finished spring
training and is ready to retrieve the ‘
grand prize in the renewal of annual
Pill Rollers vs. Pill Pushers champion-
ship baseball game. Our all-stars are
out to show that last year’s game was
just a stroke of luck with a little assist-
ance from the umpire. We are confident
that experience and talent will carry
the day.
On Thursday morning at 11:00 A.M.
TAMPA will hold its 51st Annual Meet-
ing and election of officers.
I consider it an honor to have served
as president of TAMPA and a privilege
to have worked with the fine officers and
members of the Maryland Pharmaceuti-
cal Association.
My thanks go to the officers and mem-
bers of TAMPA, especially to our Secre-
tary-Treasurer John Crozier, Board

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,

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.
Gi
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.

‘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.

MARYLAND PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION
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,

tion of a medical practitioner, or other-
wise legally dispensed or sold, and shall
include the proper and safe storage and

Heritage.
. .a heritage started by the man who founded the

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.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
BUREAU OF NARCOTICS
Washington, D. C. 20226
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-

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-

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.

“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.”
The Maryland
Pharmacist
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.

assistants were authorized to transmit
prescription refill instructions. The pro-

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

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—

the State Department of Health.
(b) The term “person” includes in-
dividual, partnership, corporation, and

for use aS a component of any article
specified in clause (A), (B), (C); but

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.

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.

More women than men past age 50

above the epidemiologists’ “break

successful mass blood cholesterol screen-
ing test ever held, which was conducted
in Woburn, Massachusetts. Dr. William

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,
