...spots turned up in the preliminary survey. At one drugstore they had no trouble buying 2,000 pep pills, saying they wanted to peddle them to other drivers. But a second druggist was smarter: he took $55 from the inspectors for a thousand pills that turned out to be aspirin...
Late one night last week, a slight, balding man with a hawklike nose, wearing a sharp gabardine suit and the air of an English butler, emerged from the jailer's office at the East Cambridge, Mass, jail and barked, "Gimme an aspirin, will you?"

Bunim, clinical director of the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases. "Even though the hormone aspirin pills are a prescription drug, there is a real danger that the patient will get too much of them and knock out his adrenal glands. In many instances the patient won't realize he is not taking ordinary aspirin. In others he will enjoy the lift he gets from them and take more and more. In still others, the physician will respond...
