...titillation to the repellent. On Kansas City's Counsellor's Corner, the Rev. R. Lofton Hudson found himself counseling a woman who complained that she was being "pressured" into a neighborhood wife-swapping group. Bob Raiford, on Washington's WTOP, waded unblinking into a discussion of aerosol contraceptives. And when New Orleans' WSMB's Larry Regan asked one deviate caller if he had considered going to a psychiatrist, he got the reply, "Go to a psychiatrist, hell. I go with...
...Perfect Product. Competitors score their own firsts too, and Bristol-Myers responds by openly imitating them. It is bringing out Mum in an aerosol can to compete with Gillette's Right Guard. Schwartz has about ten products in the secret stage of development, but professes disappointment that his scientists have failed to devise the perfect product. "After all," he smiles, "we still don't have a pill to cure death or cussedness." He has, however, made a start on the latter: one of his major prescription drugs contains a tranquilizing agent...

The aerosol can, once limited to a few household uses, now dispenses everything from cake icing to lotion for poison...
...although cans still account for more than half their sales. Continental is about to open two new plants to make plastic bags, has just come out with a new plastic motor-oil "can"-the fourth switch in its oilcan materials in as many years. American has just introduced tiny aerosol tubes that contain a seven-day supply of such items as hair spray and shaving cream for travelers, is spinning out a line of two-tone scented toilet tissue and conducting a campaign to replace "the dirtiest thing in the American home-the bathroom glass" with its plastic paper...
...other hand, an important breakthrough is at hand in the aerosol packaging of medicine and food. In these fields, aerosol cans have the special advantage of exposing to the air only whatever quantity of a product is actually used. There are various propellants (the pressurized gases that push the product out of the can) that are safe for most foods or drugs. However, the industry has had trouble developing different ways of combining container, valve and propellant at a reasonable cost. There will soon be radioactive inhalants for lung cancer patients, inhalant vaccines, allergens, and aerosol insulin to replace injections...
