The chocolate will go on sale soon. It is likely to be expensive. Some scientists say there should be more tests, reviewed by other scientists, to show whether the chocolate does what its makers say it does.

The story was in a special publication created to raise money to rebuild a bridge. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who wrote the Sherlock Holmes stories, helped to raise money by writing a story about the town and the bridge. 

The story is now on display in Selkirk, with a painting of the bridge which was built.

Parents told to feed babies on peanut

It has become more common for people to be very ill if they eat peanuts. Around one in 50 children in the UK and US are affected, and numbers have doubled in the last 10 years.

Peanut allergy is very serious and can kill people quickly, even if they only eat a tiny bit. Now scientists say the best way to stop peanut allergy is for babies to eat the nuts from four months old. 

Doctors at a children's hospital in London have been experimenting with babies at high risk of peanut allergy. They gave peanuts to some and not to others. By the age of five, only 1 per cent of the children who had eaten the nuts were allergic to them, compared with 17 per cent of those who had not eaten them. 

Now parents are being told to give their babies foods containing peanuts from an early age.
