...fundamental effect of fever, Dr. Fishberg found, is alkalosis, caused by loss of acidic substances (chloride, lactic acid, carbon dioxide) from the body. The acid loss occurs through the skin and lungs as the body automatically struggles to cool off to normal temperature. During a five-hour bout with fever of 106° F., Dr. Fishberg's patients sweated out as much as five quarts of water, one-half ounce of salt, one-third ounce of lactic acid. Due to such acid content of sweat, athletes often complain of "stinging sweat." Because excess salt is shed through the skin...

Refreshed, Dr. Halpin completed the delivery of a healthy...
...cooked indefatigably in his back yard, trying dozens of solvents in vain. His crucibles were shaky, his batteries uncertain. Finally he found that electrically melted cryolite, a mineral from Greenland, would dissolve the ore. Then he tried to electrolyze it. In clay crucibles it was no go. He substituted carbon crucibles. In the bottom he found a handful of gleaming aluminum pebbles. That was on Feb. 23, 1886. Charles...
