DOYLESTOWN, PA (February, 10, 2006) The Quigley Corporation (NASDAQ: QGLY),
announced today that it has partnered with Universal Pictures for a Cold-Eeze
promotion tied to Curious George, the new film featuring the voices of Will
Ferrell and Drew Barrymore that opens February 10th. Promotion activities
include a sweepstakes and a self-liquidating offer that launched with an ad in
Parenting Magazine in January.
As part of the promotion, consumers can enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win
a grand prize trip for four to one of the Universal Studios Theme Parks. The
sweepstakes will also award fifty first prize NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.
Curious George Game Boy® Advance games and fifteen second prize Curious George

The promotion also includes a self-liquidating offer whereby consumers can send
in two Cold-Eeze proofs of purchase along with $5.50 for shipping and handling
to receive a Curious George backpack, available while supplies last.
Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment bring Curious George, the original
"monkey see, monkey do" chimp, to the screen in an all-new animated adventure
based upon the beloved tales that have been enchanting readers for more than 60
years. George, the inquisitive little guy with an insatiable taste for
adventure, sets off in a brand new tale for the big screen, where his spunky
and fun-loving nature endears him to new friends he meets along the way and (of
course) lands him in a series of (mis)adventures.
Curious George titles have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and have
been published in 17 languages, making the little monkey who left the jungle
with The Man with the Yellow Hat one of the best-selling and most enduring
characters in children's literature.
Curious George is produced by Ron Howard, David Kirschner and Jon Shapiro.
Matthew O'Callaghan directs from a screenplay by Ken Kaufman (story by Ken
Kaufman and Mike Werb). Dick Van Dyke, David Cross, Eugene Levy and Joan
Plowright are also among the distinguished cast of voices. Original songs are
written and performed by Jack Johnson.
