Bet the baby boom will need this as we age: <<Myocrisin (Injectable Gold Therapy) HOW IS GOLD GIVEN ? The most frequent way of giving gold is by injection. The injections are given once a week into a large muscle such as the buttock. A very small "test" dose is first given to make sure that the patient is not sensitive to gold and if all is well injections will be given weekly for several months. If you respond well to gold, it will be possible to decrease the frequency of injections to fortnightly and eventually to one injection every 3 or 4 weeks. HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO TAKE GOLD FOR ? If gold injections prove to control the arthritis, often we will continue on treatment with fortnightly or monthly injections for years so long as gold continues to control the arthritis. There is no maximum dose of gold, but if you are well controlled on maintenance gold, sometimes it is possible to stop treatment. >> rheumatology.org.nz

Japan Set to Approve 7.5 Trillion Yen Bank Bailout to Write Off Bad Loans Japan to Approve 7.5 Tln Yen Bank Bailout to Purge Bad Loans Tokyo, March 12 (Bloomberg) -- Japan will later today approve a 7.5 trillion yen ($63 billion) investment into 15 of its biggest banks, a step authorities say will end a decade- long struggle with bad loans and set the financial system on the road to recovery. ''We're clearing a major hurdle in the bad-debt problem today,'' said Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa. The government's optimism has been shared by the markets, which have pushed up bank stocks and pared the ''Japan Premium,'' or extra amount Japanese lenders are charged to borrow money overseas. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 196.18 points to 15,698.32, as bank shares soared 6.6 percent in early trading. Sakura Bank Ltd., which announced deep staff and branch cuts to qualify for its 800 billion yen share of public money, rose 3.8 percent to 332 yen. Ten banks are up 30 percent or more since the beginning of the year, led by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd., Japan's largest lender, which has gained almost 60 percent. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi rose 40 yen, or 2.7 percent, to 1,520 in early trading today. ©1999 Bloomberg, LP. All rights reserved. Terms of Service and Trademarks.
