THE MICHIGAN DAILY THUR.SDAY, TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, ...tee. Health Service Running Its Own Unique, Specialized Pharmacy Has Filled Prescriptions In Over 17,000 Cases For Student Illnesses By HAROLD GARN You would hardly recognize the Health Service pharmacy as a drug store because it is devoid of the usual standard equipment. There isn't a pin game, soda fountain, cigar coun- ter or magazine stand within its walls, but still it is one of the most popular places on the campus. During the first eight months of the school year, 17,514 prescription bottles and vials were filled and dis- pensed, Arthur Gibson, pharmacist of the Health Service, said yesterday. "It is doubtful whether any other college health service pharmacies of- fer such extensive service as that of Michigan's pharmacy," he declared. "The pharmacy has grown very rap- idly, from a few pine board shelves and a part-time pharmacist, to the place where it now employs four reg- istered pharmacists, three of whom are students working their way through school who are employed on a part-time basis." Past Year Busy The pharmacy not only fills pre- scriptions, but supplies over 3,000 items a month to the Health Service physicians, and these are dispensed by the physicians to their student patients, Mr. Gibson stated. The pharmacy has filled a much larger number of prescriptions this school year than during the same period last year, he said. "An extensive prescription stock is carried which enables the pharmacy to compound practically any prescrip- tions written by the Health Service or University Hospital physicians," he declared. "Where reasonably pos- sible, the pharmacy will fill prescrip- tions written by the student's home physician. It is necessary, however, to have the permission of one of the Health Service physicians," he ex- plained. Stresses Savings Few students consider the amount of money that they save by being able to have their prescriptions filled at the Health Service, he asserted. "Out of several hundred prescription items, there are at present, about 38 expensive proprietory items and spe- cialties that the pharmacy charges for on a cost basis. These are such that the pharmacy can exercise no control over the cost, but must pur- chase them from reliable pharma- ceutical houses; such an item is in- sulin. Among the specialties are a few items prepared by the pharmacy for conditions which are not urgent, and because they are used in large amounts we must charge a modest fee," he stated. "As a result of two years of ex- perimental work, a radically new method of manufacture of ointments has been developed in the pharmacy in cooperation with physicians," Mr. Nordrheyer Announces Bronson-Thomas Prize The German department of the University announces again the Bronson-Thomas prize, an annual award of $30 given on the basis of a three-hour essay contest to be held under the departmental super- vision in the early part of April. Gibson declared. "These ointments are not obtainable elsewhere, and un- like the older type of ointments are practically greaseless, non-staining, and will wash off very easily," he said. "This new method of manu- facturing ointments developed here, takes advantage of the process of, emulsification which results in oint- ments that are stable, cream-like, and greaseless. They should proveI a boon to those who are compelled to use this type of medication, and it is hoped that we shall be able to perfect the methods of manufac- ture so that they will become avail- able for use soon. For the conven- ience of the user the material will be dispensed in tubes," he explained.

That impression still stands. Inmy recent tour of Hamlet', with its many performances each week and the attendant trax on my throat, I have been convinced anew that this light smoke is both delight- ful to my taste and the top' ciga- rette for an actor's throat." 4 STATIONERY 100 SHEETS $ 100 ENVELOPES ..

Mr. Howard verifies the wisdom of this pref- erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro- tection of Luckies-a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process THE F it's Toasted". Luckies are gentle on the throat.
