...blood or blood plasma intravenously. Since plasma is often not available and since it often contains hepatitis virus, doctors have been looking for a simpler remedy. Last week a team of U.S. Public Health Service scientists announced that they had found it. Their remedy: a solution of simple table salt and baking soda, taken orally...
...first ever to take 19 in a Test match, Jim Laker had accomplished roughly the equivalent of pitching a no-hit game in the World Series. And almost singlehanded he had kept the Ashes, symbol of international cricket supremacy, in England. ¶ On Utah's glaring, glass-smooth salt flats, Germany's Wilhelm Herz wasted one lap when timing equipment failed, still got the last whisper of speed out of his streamlined NSU motorcycle. His 500 cc. engine churning up to 8,000 r.p.m., Herz whooshed back and forth on the measured mile at an average 210 m.p.h...
...officers and enlisted men whose presence has spawned a fabulous aggregation of 6,000 men, women and children, their dogs, cats, cars and TV sets-perhaps the world's most striking example of the peacetime American Way overseas, and certainly a posh assignment that burns in the salt-hardened souls of Navymen on all the ships...
...Simple Salt. In the hospital the most frequent and most neglected pain is that of the patient fresh from the operating room, says Baylor University's Dr. Arthur S. Keats. But this pain is by no means universal. He and many other researchers have found that few patients complain of pain after a surprisingly long list of major operations-surgery on the head and neck (including thyroid), hand and wrist, genital organs, or after amputation, skin graft, removal of a breast, stripping of a vein, fracture reduction, nailing of a hip or dressing of a burn. The operations most...
...World War II that only one-fourth of the soldiers seriously wounded in battle complained of pain (their wounds meant the end of combat and return to safety); among civilians with comparable wounds produced by surgery, three-fourths complain. When Dr. Keats slipped such patients injections of simple salt solution instead of the narcotic they expected, 43% said that the pain went away. Other patients, told that they were to get "a new drug which was not very good,'' actually got a wallop of morphine; four out of 21 reported their pain no better, or actually worse...
