approved that is exciting researchers
in the treatment o f pain. This material
has been formulated into a new prod­
uct known as “Arthur IH stm ” and is
being called a "Medical M iracle” by
some, in the treatment o f debilitating
conditions such as arthritis, bursitis,
rheumatism, painful muscle aches,
jo in t aches, simple backache, bruises,
and more. Although the mechanism o f
action is unclear, experiments ind i­
cate that Arthur IB stm relieves pain
by first selectively attracting, and then
destroying the messenger chemical
which carries pain sensations to the
brain, thus elim inating pain in the
affected area. A r th u r ItisiM is an
