This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) relates to the Schedule 13D filed by Ted Karkus, Mark Burnett, John DeShazo, Louis Gleckel, MD, and Mark Leventhal (together, the “Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2009 (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.0005 per share, of The Quigley Corporation (the “Company”).
 
Neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed an admission by the Reporting Persons that they constitute a “group” as such term is used in Section 13(d)(1)(k) of the rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
Items 4 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

On April 23, 2009, The Quigley Corporation filed an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Ted Karkus, John Edmunds Ligums, Sr. (“Ligums”), Mark Burnett, John DeShazo, Louis Gleckel, MD and Mark Leventhal (collectively, the “Defendants”), asserting claims for violations of Sections 13(d), 14(a) and 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Reporting Persons believe the claims are baseless and intend to vigorously defend against them.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

The following exhibits are filed with this Amendment.

Exhibit  99.1.  Complaint of The Quigley Corporation against the Defendants dated April 23, 2009.
