A spokesman for American Cyanamid Ledere Labs told the Eagle Lake Rotary Club that Americans have been saved by sulfa and antibiotic drugs over the last 200 years. He said industry research spending rose from 170 million in 1958 to 24 million in 1959 and that U.S. leads in new drug development. He noted drug prices rose about 21.4 percent over 32 years, while life expectancy increased as newer drugs extended longevity.
