Dept. of Health Disclaims Device Pennsylvania consumers are receiving mail advertisements for an excerise device believed to be misbranded due to false claims, the Pennsylvania Department of Health warns. The distributor advertises this device, called ‘‘Exer-Cor,” as being effective in relieving many ailments including high blood ‘pressure, arthritis, cerebral palsy, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, and headaches. The Department contends that medical literature provides no evidence that ‘“Exer-Cor’’ is effective in treating any of these conditions. The device resembles a surfboard with sliding panels so as to permit a crawling action, and sells for approximately $150. According to Jack B. Ogun, Division of Drug Control, ‘“The device does have a rather at- tractive appearance. However, in my judgment, you could get the same effect by strapping roller skates onto your hands and knees.” The Department, of Health urges comsuniers-to ‘discuss the purchase of any exercise device with their physicians prior to ordering such units. “Exer-Cor” is distributed by Health and Education Services, Flick Reedy Carporation, Stredny, Dallas.

WHY WE HAVE OUR OWN CASKET DISPLAY ROOMS Many funeral homes in the area do not have cas: ket display rooms. As a consequence, the people they serve make a trip to a casket warehouse to make their selection. This is not only time-consuming, but many families find it an added emotional burden. At both our Shavertown and Wilkes-Barre homes, we maintain pleasant, well-lighted rooms, in which a variety of caskets in every price range are displayed. Prices are plainly :marked, and families are invited to take all the time they need—wkther with ‘or without our assistance. ¢ HAROLD C.
