Letters Received to H.B. Viedt, March 11, 1924

COPY LIFE EXTENSION INSTITUTE, Inc. 25 West Forty-Third Street New York March 11, 1924 Mr. H. B. Viedt Vice President, U.S.Radium Corp. 122 Alden St. Orange, N. J. My dear Mr. Viedt: Ne are forwarding the reports on your employees who were examined at this office. Of course they all show some pathology and departures from the normal. The conditions found vary widely and there was no evidence of the influence of any has almost perfect teeth and low blood pressure. Another particular metallic poisoning. For example, one young woman has some mouth infection plainly due to the fact that the teeth have been devitalized, the usual form of root infection not reflecting any metallic poisoning. In this case the blood pressure ran somewhat high. Another case showed a loss in weight, mouth in- fection, and a somewhat high blood pressure. All of these cases show a certain degree of anemia, which is a common finding among all industrial and commercial women employees. In the case ofMiss Vera Eldridge, the loss in weight is not fully explainable by any of the conditions found : and I have suggested an x-ray of the chest and a special examination of the feces, and some other follow up tests. I think that it would be wise to arrange at least for an x-ray of the chest and examination of the feces in order to secure as definite information as possible regarding the loss in weigh t. In a word, these cases, as far as we have gone, just ghow the ordinary ran ge of human troubles and do not reflect any specific occupation influence. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Eugene L. Fisk, M.D. Medical Director
