FL — An ingredient de rived from hot peppers that decreas es inflammation in racehorse's legs, is now recognized as safe and effec tive for human use The ingredient has been formulated into a product called ARTH-Rx ™and comes in a strength designed for humans. Researchers are excited and say the formula can relieve arthritis pain for millions. Developed by the Phillips Gulf Corporation. ARTH-Rx is a break through in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheuma tism. tendonitis, backache and more Although the mechanism by which ARTH-Rx works to relieve pain is not totally clear, scientists suggest that pain is relieved because ARTH-Rx intercepts the messenger substance that sends pain signals to the brain. ARTH-Rx is available in a conve r lent roll-on applicator without a pre scription. According to a spokesper son for the company, due to the over whelming demand for ARTH-Rx. sup plies are sometimes limited.

Latest on the “H” By Sarah Coller Gary Jones o f Hood River contacted the Gazette- Times to provide some more information on the “H” on Cross Hill. Jones was a senior at Heppner High School in 1957 and he verified that the “H” was placed on the hill in the spring of that year. Jones was chairman of the committee who decided to pour the concrete initial on the hill as a senior class project. Other members of the committee, said Jones, were Mary Stewart, Marilyn Pettyjohn, Eddie Olsen, Shirley Kononen, Meredith Thompson, Dee Bailey and himself. Jones said the project was done in April or May of that year so it was too late to get a picture in that year’s high school yearbook. “Some of us have talked a time or two and wondered about it,” said Jones and added, “1 showed it to my wife when I first got married.” Jones said they, too, had painted the “H” white, just as the Wolff girls, who recently re discovered the cross, did last month.
