ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

On  July  8,  2004,  The  Quigley   Corporation.   (the   "Company")   dismissed
PricewaterhouseCoopers   LLP  ("PwC")  as  its  independent   registered  public
accounting  firm.  On the same date,  the Company  engaged  Amper,  Politziner &
Mattia, P.C. as independent accountants.  The dismissal of PwC and engagement of
Amper,  Politziner & Mattia,  P.C. were  approved by the Audit  Committee of the
Company.

The reports of PwC on the Company's financial statements for the past two fiscal
years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to  uncertainty,  audit scope or accounting  principle,
except for the 2003  fiscal year  opinion,  which  contained  a reference  for a
restatement  of  the  2002  consolidated  financial  statements  to  revise  the
accounting  for certain  warrants.  During the two most recent  fiscal years and
through  July 8,  2004,  there were no  disagreements  with PwC on any matter of
accounting principles or practices,  financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements,  if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PwC,  would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of any such
disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such
years.  During the two most recent fiscal years and through July 8, 2004,  there
were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided PwC with a copy of the  foregoing  disclosures  and has
requested  that  PwC  review  such  disclosures  and  furnish  it with a  letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange  Commission  stating  whether it agrees
with the statements  made in response to this Item 4 or the respects in which it
does not agree.  A copy of this letter is attached as an exhibit to this Current
Report on Form 8-K.
