John;
The name "Metalax" is not one than most marketing people would choose-- it
sounds too like Exlax! :^)

Dan, I think the company name is/was Metalax. Good for arthritis and
bursitis too (no kidding!). I have a funny story to tell about Metalax at
one of the early PRI shows. It had to do with a chap who rested his aching
foot and knee on a block being prepared by Metalax. By the end of the
salesman's dog and pony show, the guy, in his amazement, walked away from
the demonstration, pain free (for a while anyway).
