Upjohn celebrates 100th birthday KALAMAZOO, Mich. - “Keep the quality up” were the watch words of William E. Upjohn, M.D., founder of The Upjohn Pill and Granule Company in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1886. One hundred years later, em ployees of The Upjohn Company still adhere to that advice. Or. Upjohn’s pill-making firm has grown into a worldwide, research based manufacturer and marketer of pharmaceuticals, health care services, fine chemicals, bulk pharmaceuticals, and veterinary and agricultural specialties. In the early 1880 s Dr. Upjohn, a young physician with a practice in rural Hastings, Mich., invented a new kind of pill. He called his in vention the friable pill, which meant it could be easily crumbled. Because the mass-produced pills of the late 19th century were so hard, they often passed through the patient undissolved. The properties of Dr. Upjohn's new pill made it more easily digestible and this guaranteed that patients got the full benefit of the medicine. With his new invention, Dr. Upjohn began a business that by the century’s end had expanded to include compressed tablets, fluid extracts, ointments and powders - all produced with the careful attention to quality that the exacting doctor demanded. With the hiring of the company’s first research scientist in 1913. The Upjohn Company (renamed in 1902) inaugurated a lasting commitment to the development of new pharmaceutical products. Digitora, used in the treatment of various kinds of heart failure, was introduced in 1919. It was the first standardized digitalis product on the market and one of the first drugs to have a warranted shelf life. Citrocarbonate, introduced in 1921, was the first nationally recognized product for the treatment of acidosis—a derangement of the blood chemistry that often accompanies serious illness or injury. The establishment of a Farm Credit Names Scholarship Recipient WEST CHESTER - The Board of Directors of the Southeast Farm Credit Service takes great pleasure in announcing that Sylvia Lee (Cissy) Trotman has been selected as the recipient of its 1986 scholarship. Cissy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Jennings .of West Chester, Chester County. She is a senior at Avon Grbve High School, West Grove, and will enter the nutritional research laboratory in 1927 marked Upjohn’s entry into the vitamin supplement market. Super D Cod Liver Oil (1928) was the first standardized vitamin D product to reach a mass market. It played an important role in combating rickets in children. Other vitamin products followed in the ‘3os, culminating with Unicap line of multivitamins in 1940. During this first half-century, two Upjohn products appeared which still have a place in the nation’s medicine cabinets; Cheracol (1924), a flavored cough syrup and Kaopectate (1936), an antidiarrhea medicine. Aids War Effort During World War 11, wounded Allied soldiers often received battlefield transfusions of serum albumin made in Upjohn laboratories. Others treated themselves with sterilized sulfa powders and “wound tablets,” nearly 600 million of which were stamped with the Upjohn name. Perhaps the biggest Upjohn contribution to the war effort was its participation in the joint effort to produce penicillin. The suc cessful and timely mass production of this first antibiotic by a coalition of government and industrial forces saved countless lives. After the war, Upjohn resear chers turned their efforts to the synthesis of cortisone. In 1950, Upjohn researchers discovered an inexpensive way to manufacture cortisone and hydrocortisone steroids and made these products available to millions of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. As it enters its second century, Upjohn remains a world leader in steroid research and production. In 1974, Upjohn introduced its most successful product ever - Motrin. This nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug brought relief from pain and inflammation to millions. In 1980, the company introduced Cortaid, the first topical hydrocortisone product available Pennsylvania State University, Delaware County Campus, in the fall.

Philip Pyle, school principal, will make the presentation. This scholarship is offered an in the U.S. without a prescription. Recent Upjohn entries into the important field of central nervous system (CNS) drugs include the first entirely new CNS compounds in nearly 20 years: the anti-anxiety agent Xanax, and Halcion, useful in the short-term management of insomnia. Pharmaceuticals remain the heart of Upjohn’s business.

A category 11, three-point hitch like linkage stabilizers is standard equipment. These two new tractors are available with the unique Twin- Power option. This feature doubles a tractor’s working ability because it provides a PTO and 3-point hitch at both the front and rear of the machine. With this option two jobs can be completed with one pass. “These tractors pack the power and features needed to get the job done efficiently so there’s more time for other profitable ven tures,” says Macllr ith.
