Celebrex, made by G.D. Searle, a subsidiary of St. Louis-base- d Monsanto, is the first cox-- 2 inhibitor to win approval by the Food and Drug Administration. This new class of painkillers has been awaited anxiously because they promise to be easier on patients' stomachs. Wall Street analysts have trumpeted the drug as potentially the next blockbuster seller. But the FDA dealt Searle a blow Thursday, declaring that there is not proof that Celebrex act ually is safer for patients stomschs than older painkillers. So while the FDA said Celebrex can be sold to treat arthritis pain, it must bear the same warning about side effects as many of its older competitors. The final answer is not in on the major question here: Is this safer? said FDA drug chief Dr. Murray Lumpkin. Searle was disappointed with the warning, but is continuing to study Celebrex in hopes of providing FDA with enough proof to advertise Celebrex as a safer painkiller. In the meantime, Celebrex will be available by prescription within six weeks; Searle said it will be '' b It's Your long-awaite- ed toll-fre- p d approves painki ler for arthritis long-await- toll-fre- e Utahs latest wildlife information is now available statewide, at the Division of Wildlife Resource's e new telephone hotline.

Collectors, enthusiasts, and the curious can indulge in nostalgia; see some of the finest model railroad displays in the area, learn how to start a layout and spruce up an existing one with new ideas and more. Founded in 1984 by former IBM executive Dave Swanson, the Great American Train Show travels yearly to more than 90 cities in the United States and Canada presenting the hobby of model railroading to thousands of adults and children each weekend. The driving force behind GATS is Swansons desire to nationally promote the hobby in order to share the joy of the family-orientactivity. GATS is the perfect weekend family event to fascinate children, entertain adults and provide a glimpse into the wonderful world of trains. A portion ofeach show is geared toward the children in the family because, says Swanson" no one loves trains like children." As for the adults, Swanson comments, "GATS is a perfect place to hook-u- p with a model railroading club, which is a great way to get more involved in the hobby or meet new people in your community. It doesn't take much to get bitten by the bug of model railroading. Oftentimes, all you have to do is see The Great American Train Show calls Jan. 16 and 17, on Salt Lake City, Utah, for its only visit in 1999. The United States largest traveling model railroading show throttles down from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Utah's State F airpark, 155 North 1000 West, Salt Lake Ciiy, Utah. Mike Patten, manager for Salt Lake City GATS, says the show -now in its fourth consecutive year at the Fairpark has doubled in the number of layouts from an average of four to eight per show. He sayi its a good indicator that attendance will be good. If the modelers are out there at the show, then the word is getting out that theyre going to be there and the public will be there to see them, too, Patten notes. If it has to do with trains, from rt model trains to the old American Flyers and Lionel which have thrilled generations, youll find it at the Great American Train Show.
