When she picked up her favorite doll and the doll's arm came off in her hand, she burst into a fit of hysterical sobs. It took half an hour to calm...
...more delicate centrifuges to whirl germs out of solutions, the name Svedberg is as familiar as the name De Laval is to dairymen. Lately at Sweden's University of Upsala, shy, black-eyed, Nobel Prizewinner Dr. Theodor Svedberg, 50, perfected two new rotors in which at normal operating speed a dime would press against the wall with a force of half a ton.

Due to such acid content of sweat, athletes often complain of "stinging sweat." Because excess salt is shed through the skin...
...ante). For proof that her test subjects develop pure fevers and nothing else, Dr. Fishberg usually heats them until fever blisters form on their lips. As demonstration of how to offset the specific effects of fever in sick patients, Dr. Fishberg brings her test subjects back to normal by giving them a weak solution of common salt to drink and causing them to inhale a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide...
