DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The Quigley Corporation (Nasdaq: QGLY) announced today that it has offered to donate 85,000 COLD-EEZE(R) lozenges to the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in response to the results of a new study conducted by the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health. The six-month study of 609 children in urban India, conducted by Dr. Robert E. Black of the Johns Hopkins Department of International Health, and reported in the current issue of the electronic journal "Pediatrics," reported that children who were given zinc gluconate on a daily basis had a 45% drop in respiratory infection, mostly pneumonia. The study proves that a daily dosage of 10mg of Zinc Gluconate (Zinc Gluconate is the active ingredient of COLD-EEZE(R)) given to children in developing countries could save countless lives. This new study confirms once again the safety of Zinc Gluconate as the compound of choice. The results of this study have prompted the Company to explore the possibility of establishing an ongoing donation program to assist international and American relief agencies.

COLD-EEZE(R) is increasingly being used to reduce the symptoms of seasonal airborne allergies.
