Mr. Mason n. Alamo,

Thomastion, Gonn.
Dear Adames-
Riclosed herewith you will find an article entitled
"Radio Active Material an Industrial Hasard?", by Dr. Frederick B. Flinn,
Ph. De, Assistant Professor of Physiology in Industrial hygione, College
of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, which treats of the
so called necrosis" or radinm poisoning cases. The investigation
by Dr. Flinn, which formed the basis of his article, has been by far the
most thorougia and far venching vora undertaken on this subject. This
article will appear in one of the early issues of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Whle it seem that the charge of Readium poisoning
caused the death of several girls (which charge was widely advertised
through the press a fer months ago) is entiroly unfounded, we naturally
hesitate - without further investigation - to make the broad statement
that radiun in luminous meterial is mharnful, although we believe this
to be the case. Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, we caution
you, if you have not already done 30, to order your operators not to
point their application brushes with their lips.
Whenevor we receive any further information on the
subject, tre shall ba glad to pasa it along to you
Yours very troly,
President.
