Go PFE Go PFE! ==================================================================== Viagra comes to the rescue of Brazil town Reuters, Thursday, June 25, 1998 at 21:38 SAO PAULO, June 25 (Reuters) - A Brazilian mayor said on Thursday he was giving away the love drug Viagra to men in his small town in a bid to boost population growth and secure more federal aid. "Expenses are going up and revenue is falling. There is nothing else I can do," explained Elcio Berti, mayor of Bocaiuva do Sul in the southern state of Parana. Berti, whose attempt last year to outlaw condoms was ruled unconstitutional, told Reuters that federal aid to the town would fall to $70,000 a year from $110,000 if the town's population did not rise to 12,000 from its current 10,000. To speed population growth, City Hall has begun handing out 4,000 samples of the American anti-impotence drug to "those in need." Berti said the plan should not stir as much controversy as his bid to prohibit condoms. "They said my condom ban was unconstitutional and a health risk so I had to do something else. Viagra is so popular I thought why not give this away free," Berti said. Even if Viagra does not help the town grow to 12,000, the mayor said his plan would draw attention to the plight of small Brazilian towns which are losing their populations to larger cities. U.S. pharmaceutical group Pfizer Inc. started marketing the distinctive blue pill that helps men overcome erectile dysfunction, in April. Copyright 1998, Reuters News Service
