Jan-2ts Parke, Davis & Co. are conducting one of the most ambitious promotion campaigns among physicians that were ever engineered by a pharmaceutical manufacturing house. The attention of the medical profession is being pointedly directed to a group of the most important of the company's long line of scientific products. The preparations include the Phylacogens (five products, for the treatment, respectively, of rheumatism, pneumonia, erysipelas, gonorrhea, and mixted infections); Concentrated Anti-diphtheric Serum (Globulin), the "proved antitoxin"; Bacterial Vaccines (seventeen products), for the treatment of diseases of bacterial origin; Pituitrin, an agent of brilliant achievement in obstetrical work; Glaseptic Ampoules of Sterilized Solutions (about thirty formulas) for hypodermic injection; and lastly, but of least importance, Taka-diastase, widely prescribed in the treatment of starchy indigestion, and now a much improved product, its medicinal potency having been doubled. The methods of promotion comprise a liberal use of printer's ink in the form of advertisements in all the leading medical journals, booklets and circulars for dissemination through the mails, individual and circular letters, and the personal detail work of an army of traveling representatives that literally "cover the country." An authoritative utterance upon the subject appears elsewhere in this issue over the signature of Parke, Davis & Co., a full-page announcement bearing the caption "Are you in Business for Business?" The reader, if he is a progressive pharmacist, if he wants to keep abreast of the latest advances in scientific medicine, if he would have his drug store a true emporium of modern remedial agents, is advised to search out and read this advertisement, which gives nutshell facts about this exceptional campaign.—[adv.] PRICES CURRENT. Prices are based upon quotations for original packages at port of entry or place of manufacture, plus a reasonable advance for breaking bulk and freight to interior points.

McGibbon, manager of the Missouri River Department of Eli Lilly & Company, joined the Red Lilly Organization as a traveling salesman. Previous to that time he had represented Nelson, Baker & Co. Mr. McGibbon's first territory with the Lilly Company was the state of Michigan which later became divided and he was assigned the western half with headquarters at Grand Rapids. His excellent work in Michigan was recognized by his house in promoting him to the management of the Chicago Branch of the Lilly Company where he remained for several years doing characteristically able services. Mr. McGibbon now resides in Kansas City, having charge of the Local Lilly Branch and immediate supervision of the sales force in the Missouri River Valley and several adjacent states in the west. Mr. McGibbon is a close student of pharmaceutical subjects and is well informed on drug questions, both technical and commercial. He has been active in drug organizations of Michigan and Illinois and is certain to prove a valuable accession to the ranks of the Kansas and Missouri Associations. Mr. McGibbon is a man of fine personality, very genial and capital mixer, with a faculty of becoming widely acquainted in any community in a short time. In addition he is a man of indomitable industry and perseverance which is the solid basis on which his advancement has been made. Pure Ether for Anaesthesia. Notwithstanding the introduction of several new agencies, Ether continues to be the favorite Anaesthetic with most surgeons and hospitals, at least in this country, and it is said to be gradually growing in favor in England and elsewhere abroad. One of the makes attracting prominence at present is that of the "P-W-R” brand, which is of U. S. P. Standard and especially prepared to meet the exacting requirements of surgical practice. This brand is the product of the well-known manufacturing chemists, Powers-WeightmanRosengarten Company, Philadelphia, New York and St. Louis. All jobbers are in position to supply the "P-W-R" Ether at lowest ruling prices. "Ikey vat did you learn at school today?" "Der principals of interest, fadder." "Ikey!

ON REORGANIZATION OF THE OHIO BOARD PHARMACY. N January 8 the Governor of Ohio made his long delayed appointment to the Board of Pharmacy, reappointing Mr. F. H. King, of Delphos, whose term expired the preceding March. This appointment comes as a great surprise to many acquainted with the pharmaceutical situation in Ohio, the conditions prevailing in the Board and the sentiment of the Association. It will be remembered that there was considerable feeling engendered at the meeting of the State Association in 1912, at which meeting the name of Mr. King was not included in the list sent to the Governor from which to make his selection. The Governor is reported as saying that the list with which he was furnished contained no name of a person properly qualified for the position, which raises the impression that the only thing left for him to do was to reappoint the retiring member, seemingly having forgotten his prerogative to select from the whole population of the state. The statement, if true, is somewhat of a reflection on the gentlemen whose names were on this list and in their defense we want to say that in our opinion, in character and in business and professional qualifications they have no need to fear comparisons. Within a few weeks another appointment to this Board is due. The term of Mr. Voss expires in March. We have learned that some efforts are being made to secure his reappointment and also that there is some activity in the interest of another person hailing from the same city as Mr. Voss. From indications something of a contest is likely to develop. It seems that appointment to this Board is becoming more and more tainted with politics, the effect of which all our readers will readily perceive. IF MORALS OF PHYSICIANS. F there be one calling more than another (the clergy, of course, excepted) the members of which should possess a high moral character, a clear sense of what is right and their duty to the community and the individual, it is that of the physician. We all know there are many physicians who rank high in this respect and are loved and honored by all who know them, but from the great number of complaints which come to us from various sources, we feel that there are many more physicians who not only are loose in their conduct but seem to cultivate opportunity for shady transactions. It has been repeatedly stated, and in some instances we have knowledge, that physicians do transcend their code of ethics in many ways and forget all about the moral obligation. We learn of physicians advising surgical operations of one sort or another about which there is large question, the purpose being to split the fee with the surgeon. We learn also of their making dispensing pharmacies of their offices where they sell drugs illegally for the sake of the small profit. This is aside from dispensing to their own patients. We know of physicians who would sell twenty-five cents' worth of cough medicine or a dozen quinine pills on request without the accompanying advice or consultation. We have also had frequent complaints of many physicians who prescribe intoxicating liquors, also on request, for the sake of the small fee attached. The same is true in the case of narcotic drugs, which, it is said, many not only prescribe but also dispense when it is well known that criminal practice is extensively carried on. It is quite well established that the moral tone of physicians as a class has been greatly lowered in recent years. Inquiry into the occasion of this reveals no other cause bearing as strongly as the fact of the overcrowding of the profession. We have many more doctors than are needed to take care of the ills of the people and many of them are driven by necessity to resort to all sorts of underhand practices. Such a condition is bound to result wherever a profession or trade is overcrowded, and many men, perhaps the majority, under stress, would not hold their action so strictly along the line of demarcation between what is right and what is wrong. We are therefore inclined to the opinion that it would be a good thing for the country if all the medical schools could be closed up for a period of years in order to allow conditions to again become normal. THE A. PH. A. BUILDING. SINCE the American Pharmaceutical Association decided to erect a building suitable for a permanent housing of its archives and the establishment of a research laboratory, active and enthusiastic members from various sections of the country have been pressing the claims of their cities as locations for the association headquarters. New York wants it on general principles as being the "hub of the universe"; Philadelphia wants it; Detroit, as the center of pharmaceutical manufacturing believes it should have the A. Ph. A.; St. Louis asks for it; Washington thinks it should be located in the national Capital where it would be free from political influence, and suggests that the Procter Memorial soon to be placed, should mark the entrance to the A. Ph. A. building; Nashville was the first to make an offer of a site for its location. All these bids for the location of this national institution devoted to pharmacy, have their merits, but so far, not a single voice has been raised suggesting Ohio as a proper or logical location. |
