Crumpacker II, assistant professor of Medicine at the Medical School, and his colleagues at the hospital who are studying the effects of the drug acyclovir on cold sores, said yesterday they will administer the drug in ointment form to 50 of the 100 volunteers.

It is Preparation H, the widely advertised ointment sold over the counter to shrink hemorrhoids (painfully enlarged veins in the anal area). Lately, a number of fashion-conscious Los Angeles matrons have been urging their friends to smear it on nightly in order to "close" facial pores and shrink those age-betraying bags under the eyes. "It gives you a dewy look," says Ellen Bennett, who runs...
