Corey Gontlemente Inclosed herewith you will find an article entitled "Radio Active Vaterial an Industrial Hasard?", by Dr. Proderick B. Flimn, Ph. Des Assistant Professor of Physiology in Industrial Hygione, Collega of Physicions and Surgeons, Columbia University, trests of the so called "radium necrosis* or radium poisoning cases. The investigation by Dr. which formed the basis of lis article, has boen by far the most thorough and far resching work undertaken on this subject. This article will appesce in one of the early isstes of the Journal of the American Medical Association. While it seema that the charge of Fradium peisoning caused the death of sevorel girls (which charge was willozy advertised through the press a fow monthe ago) is entirely infounded, we naturally hocitate - further investigation - to malce the troad statement that radium in luminous saterial is unhannful, although we believe this to be the case. Theroforo, in crder to be on the safe side, to caution you, if you have not alroady dono 30, to ordoz your oporators not to point their ayplication brushos betreen their lipe. Whenever to receive any further attentic information on the subject, we shall be glad to pass it along to you. Yours vory truly. President. Enclosure (1)
