However, salt can also be an agent of disease and death. A single quarter-pound dose might kill a man. Even the healthy person's normal intake of about one-third ounce a day is harmful to patients with certain types of high blood pressure or heart or kidney disease for whom doctors prescribe "salt-free" (actually, low-salt) diets. Some physicians fear that the inclusion of salt in such products as baby foods may lead to an excessive taste for salt and perhaps disease later in life.

MEDICAL CARE AND PHARMACEUTICALS. In the year's first ten months, the price of medical care-doctors' bills, hospital services and drugs-rose by 5%. In Boston, a hospital bed could cost $85 a day, $10 more than last year, and the price of dental care advanced from $6 or $7 per filling a year ago to $9 to $10 today. Even aspirins were up, from 89? to 98? per 100 tablets. A mouthwash named Binaca cost 29? when it was introduced by a Swiss company five years ago; it has since been taken over...
