HEALTH HORIZONS
Arthritis Meets Its Match In New Drug
Before long arthritis may relinquish its title as the nation's num
ber one crippler.
We may never learn the cause of this mysterious and terrible
disease that victimizes some 11,000,000 Americans of whom more
than half are women. The disease in various forms strikes indi
victuals oi all ages.
We may never discover a cure
for it, but the conquest of ar
thritis is coming about through
its control by medication.
Just as insulin has given new
life to those stricken with dia
betes— formerly a fatal disease
— scientists are now certain a
drug will be found that will al
leviate the pain and suffering of
arthritis and that will let a per
son live comfortably.
Long strides in this direction
have already been made. Salicy
lates, as in aspirin, have again
become the mainstay of arthritis
therapy, but aspirin causes gas
tric distress and may result in
gastric ulcers and even serious
gastric bleeding. ■
A* new form of salicylate,
v r.hout these side effects, was
t ref ore necessary and a new I
drug, Arlhropan, was intro- i
d" \'d last Siiring to overcome j
t s j r- b .n. This sweet tasting,
cherry flavored liquid was de
scribed as “the most potent sali- !
cylata found n far for the rapid
rel'ef of pain in various types of
arthritis.”
Tne teats with the new drug
vc re carried out at medical in
. s; Actions by groups of special
ists in the field of arthritis and
related disorders.
In the entire group of patients
treated with Arthropan the doc
tors reported that
• this drug was far superior
* to any other salicylate,
• it was absorbed 5 times fast- .
er thar. aspirin and reached
its peak blood level 12 times
faster than aspirin,
• it was well tolerated with no
side reactions,
• it was most consistent in the
leiicf of stiffness and joint
ain, which allowed signi
. cant increase in comfort
able physical activity,
• it could be used by patients
with active peptic ulcers.
It is far too sobn to call Ar
thropan the long sought drug
that will control arthritis. But
dramatic reports to date which
cover groups of patients on the
drug continuously for so long
as 6 months, point out that the
drug has more advantages than
the combination of steroids and
ordinary salicylates (aspirin) in
suppressing the symptoms of
arthritis.
Pilot Killed But Two
Passengers Survive Crash
Of Anchorage Small Plane
ANCHORAGE, UPi — Two sur-’
vivors of a light plane crash,
which killed the pilot, were res
cued Saturday night after living
on moose meat for two days.
The plane, flown by Roger
Henderson of Anchorage, and car
rying two Anchorage moose hunt
ers, crashed Thursday in the Pur
chase Creek area near tho Tal
keetna Mountains about 90 miles
north of here.
The hunters, John Amick and
Bob Rasmussen, and Henderson’s
body, were brought out by the El
mendorf Air Rescue Service after
the Civil Air Patrol spotted the
wreckage Saturday afternoon.
Amick and Rasmussen said they
survived for two days on moose
they had bagged.
Titart Explodes on
Canaveral Launching
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UPl —
An explosion tore a giant inter
continental range Titan missile
apart Saturday just as it was
launched in an attempt to fire its
second stage for the first time.
The 88-foot missile was engulfed
by fire after it rose only a few
feet from its launching pad. None
of the 50 members of the launch
crew in a block house 100 feet
away was hurt.
As the countdown reached zero,
fire belched from the base of the
missile. The flames roared up the
length of the Titan. It was quick
ly hidden by giant billows of black
smoke.
The explosion sent up a mush
room cloud like that of an atom
bomb.
Several minutes later when the
wind had pushed the smoke away,
the service tower was a fire
blackened hulk. Nothing re
mained of the missile.

HOOPING IT UP
FRIDAY BASKETBALL
INDIES SHADE NOOKS
Friday night, in the first game
of the basketball doubleheader,
the Ancient Independents called
on their vast reservoir of experi
ence to beat the Nome High five
by a score of 38-30. The fracas
was close, with the outcome un
determined until the last few
minutes of play.
The Nanooks, making their first
real threat toward a win ,this
season, were tigers on defense as
they pressed all over the court
during most of the game. An er
ratic shooting average was all that
kept the “kids” from chalking up
their first win. Their passing,
which at times leaves much to be
desired was sharper, and they
played a much better floor game.
Ronnie Locke, the “frosh” bright |
spot in this dismal season, was
the point leader for the “Nooks,”
with 9. The Nanooks made their
victory early in the fourth quarter
as sub Charlie Nershak hit ,two
baskets and brought them within
two points of the Indies. At this
time John Bandy of the Indies
took over, and started a splurge
which didn’t end until the final
horn. The Indies were paced by
Bandy and Woodcock, with 10
points each.
Doc Woodcock was called out
of the .game in the second half,
as a new baby was arriving in
town. The good doctor delivered
the baby and was back for the
remainder of the evening.

MERCHANTS STOP ANB
The Nome Merchants, after a
slow start, gradually picked up
steam and turned back a deter
mined ANB five by a score of 57
47 Friday night in the nightcap
of the basketball program.
Paced by George Bell, who
sank nine free throws and nine
field goals, for a grand total of
27 points, the Merchantmen, after
trailing 13-10 during the first
quarter, gradually hacked away
until they had a lead of 10 points
in the final stages of the fourth
quarter. This was a hard-fought
struggle with much running and
hard play. The final quarter was
marked by the slowing down of
several boys on both squads, from
exhaustion.
The Alaska Native Brotherhood
five was paced by Jake Titus, who
has an uncanny knack of thread
ing the hoop with the ball, with
19. Others who were outstanding
for the ANB were Gary Longley,
Gil Ozenna, Art Trigg, and Arnie
Castel, all of whom played their
hearts out in their vain quest for
victory.
