Florid FIVE CENTS BOON TO ORAL MEDICINE 1 I Jaw 1 Rips yyme Miami Drug Firm Making Revolutionary New Tablet nnn After i A N.J. South Coast In Path Of Storm 5 1 Sf 1 By CHARLES B.

FORBES, Miami Daily News Business Editor Copyright, 1953, The Miami Daily Jfewi A new development in the field of oral medicine was announced here today by Howard Stern, president of the Key Corporation, Miami ethical drug firm. It is not a new drug but, a. new method of administering drugs in tablet form. The development is a patented process for the manufacture of tablets. Patents cover a plain, compressed uncoated tablet which may contain either a plain or highly complex formula or combination of active ingredients which provide uniform disintegration after ingestion, and provide uniform and continuous absorption by the patient.

The new process has been designated "KSA Ke Sustained Action." In lay language the tablet is inactive in the stomach and passes into the intestine where the contents are released slowly and continuously for 8 to 10 hours or longer, according to the formula prescribed. The process was developed and patented by Dr. Hans Lowey, Brooklyn chemist, following conferences with Stern. Key Corporation is the sole and exclusive licensee under the patents. Exhaustive Tests Are Made Scientific Associates of St.

Louis, a laboratory retained by many leading drug manufacturers, conducted the laboratory tests. In addition, 116 physicians conducted tests on 1,253 patients between Jan. 15 and July 15 of this year. The human tests were conducted in a widely varied age grouping. Reports of the laboratory and the physicians were of a uniformly favorable nature.

Physicians attached to two New York hospitals and two California hospitals now are conducting tests with formulas of their own prescription, the results of which will not be known for perhaps a year. The tablets will be marketed in mid-September in two forms. A tablet called Amustain will be available by prescription for obesity, as a mood agent, and in general as a circulatory and cerebral stimulant. An anti-spasmodic tablet also will be available. Triple-Sulfa Tablet Studied Studies now are being conducted with a triple sulfa tablet which it is expected will be ready for marketing by the end of the year.

The medical profession will be fully informed about the new process in the next four weeks. A special message directed to the profession by Milton Cross, veteran radio announcer, will be delivered in the form of a plastic phonograph record. Wholesale and retail druggists will be advised through trade paper advertising and letters. The KSA tablets are not to be confused with the so-called "delayed action" tablets currently on the market. The new process of administration can mean a saving to the layman in the cost of many drugs.

It also will mean relief from strain in the home where drugs have to be administered at 4-hour intervals or less. The new tablet will work while the patient sleeps or while he works. And, it is estimated, half the tablets now required for specific cases will do the job. Associated Press Norfolk, Aug. 14 The season's first hurricane smacked the North Carolina and Virginia coastal areas early today and roared on north.

The big blow packed winds of 80 miles an hour or more near its center and spun gale winds of 40 or more to a distance of 140 miles.
