Attention: - Mr. Y.C. Stalliag
Gentlemente
Enclosed herewith you will find an article entitled
"Radio Active Material an Industrial Hazard?", by Dr. Proderick B. Flinn,
Ph. Des Assistant Professor of Physiology in Tygione, College
of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, which treats of the
so callad Pradium necrosis" or radiom poisoning cases. The investigation
by Dr. ninn, which formed the basis of his article, has been by far the
most thorough and far reaching work undertaken on this subject. This
article will appear in one of the early issues of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
While it sesma that the charge of "radium poisoning"
caused the death of several girls (which charge was widely advertised
through the press a fea months ago) is entirely unfounded, we naturally
hesitate - without further investigation - to malce the broad statement
that radium in luminous matorial is unharmful, 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 so, to order your operators not to
point their application brushes between their lips.
Whenever tre receive any further authentic information
on the subject, we shall be glad to pess it along to you.
Tours very truly,
President.
