been a very active person. I have not been able to sleep nights
because of the pain, or find a comfortable position in order to
get some rest. Finally, my friend put ELEKIBAN on my back
and shoulder at all the pain spots. This was Friday afternoon.
That night for the first time in weeks I was able to get a good
night’s rest. I cannot begin to tell you how amazed I was to be
able to get up Saturday morning and realize that I could move
my arm and shoulder without pain. I can’t tell you the relief it
was to my family to see me up and around and doing the things
I was unable to do because of the pain. Even now, it is hard to
believe how fantastic I feel and what ELEKIBAN has done for
me. It has taken me off medication and therapy and given me a
new lease on life.
I wish to let all sufferers know of my experience.

TOKYO. — There is definately “toilet awareness” in Japan
these days. These public toilets in Tokyo illustrate how toilet
trivia is catching the public eye in Japan. Last year ended with
the first national symposium on improving public toilets and
with the opening in Tokyo of a $10 million showroom billed as
the world's biggest toilet. Japan has over 300,000 public
toilets, most in unkept state.

ELEKIBAN (contains 10 patches) is sold at finer
drug stores in southern Ontario for $5.95 a packet.

New Process to detect
cancer cell in seconds
TSUKUBA, Ibaraki Pref. —
A government laboratory has
developed a sensor that
detects certain substances
generated by cancer cells in
only 20 seconds.
The Industrial Science and
Technology Agency's elec­
tro-technical laboratory said
recently that detector has
been proved effective in fin­
ding pancreas cancer and is
applicable to other types of
cancer as well as viruscaused diseases including
acquired immune deficiency
syndrome.
Cancer cells produce certain “marker” substances,
permitting doctors to detect
cancer by checking the den­
sity of the substances contained in blood.
However, the clinical application of this method has
been limited as the markers
are produced in extremely
small quantities.

The government laboratory
noticed that liposome, lone
