The panel did not dispute the fact that aspirin helps sufferers of these ailments and is often the only drug advised by doctors, but warned that many people are courting disaster by using it without first seeking medical attention. In some cases, self-medication with aspirin may be inadequate and in others totally wrong. In gonorrhea, for example, arthritis-like pains are sometimes the only obvious symptom.

An arbitration panel of the New York Stock Exchange ordered Paine, Webber to pay Bateman Eichler almost $1.1 million in damages. In addition, the arbitrators assessed damages totaling $45,000 against three of the former Bateman employees for conspiring to engage in unfair competition. The damages were less than the $2.5 million that Bateman had asked in a California court suit filed on the Monday...
