Belgium , which recently introduced restrictions on smoking , will become the first EU country to put pictures of the effects of smoking on cigarette packets . An espouser of the " truth of masks , " he constantly wore the mask of the dandy and the aesthete . " Four months later , the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services wrote to Merck President Raymond Gilmartin and told him the promotional campaign was misleading.The claim that Vioxx " has a ' favorable cardiovascular profile ' is simply incomprehensible , " said the letter from Thomas W. Abrams , director of the Department 's Division of Drug Marketing , Advertising and Communication , which monitors pharmaceutical advertising.Last year , after Vioxx was pulled off the market , senior FDA epidemiologist David Graham published a treatise in Lancet that said " 88,000 to 140,000 excess cases of serious coronary heart disease probably occurred in the USA over the market life of rofecoxib , " or Vioxx.When trials show that a new treatment " confers a greater risk of a serious adverse effect than a standard treatment , we must be much more careful about allowing its unrestrained use , " Graham wrote.Under cross-examination , Lucchesi — who was on the stand when the documents were presented on an overhead projector — read fine print at the bottom of the study that said the opinions were not necessarily those of the FDA.The documents swung the tenor of what started as a good day for Merck , with Lucchesi acknowledging he had misspoken on the stand earlier.He told jurors he had not reviewed a document attached to a 1997 e-mail message from a Merck scientist that he said on Friday showed Merck had tried to alter the design of an upcoming study by giving aspirin to patients on Vioxx to protect their hearts .

" I 'm not man enough to drag my own damn bags across the airport , " Humeston said.Seeger suggested Humeston may suffer some sexual dysfunction because of the heart attack , but the plaintiff only provided a cryptic response .
