Salt Solution? Last week Detective Bascou thought he had found the solution. Nurse Demussy, he said, was no murderess. But someone had been incredibly, perhaps fatally, careless. As standard treatment after an operation, he discovered, patients are given a salt-drip injection-one teaspoon of salt in a liter of boiled water. But the Mâcon Hospital nurses had become woefully unprecise: they had taken to dumping a tablespoonful, or even a fistful, of salt into half a liter of water-and given the solution as a rectal drip.

To keep it flowing freely, he injected anti-clotting heparin...
...Super Suds that spouts 5,000 large bubbles a minute. Forthcoming are a three-story soda pop ad in which full glasses will effervesce real balloons, some of which will contain tickets entitling the holder to a free drink, and a blimp-sized orange that will seem to drip juice into a building-high glass...
