Sheet #2
UNITED STATES RADIUM CORPORATION - THE
LUMINITE CORPORATION V. EDNA HUSSMAN
April 26, 1928.
Dr. R. D. Vreeland:
Said he is the one who first instigated all the inves-
tigations and rumpus that is now going on in courts against the
United States Radium Corporation. How he first became familiar
with radium poisoning was through an employee of Bamberger's, a
Miss Eloanor Eckert, who fell down the stairs and injured hor
limb. After a long period of disability hor condition seemingly
did not respond to the medicines and treatments administered.
Then realized there was something back of the girl's condition.
Ex-ray pictures made of the injured part he observed, showed
traces of a white shadow in the form of a long white line. Was
then convinced that there was something in this girl's blood pre-
venting her improvement. Obtaining her prior medical history he
then questioned a.s to her occupations in previous places of em-
ployment. Upon learning she had worked at the radium factory he
then consulted Dr. Humphreys, Chief Surgeon of the Orange Ortho-
pedic Hospital. After many examinations, ex-rays and blood tests
they finally diagnosed her case as radium poisoning. The white
shadow on the ex-ray, they were convinced was radium activity.
Said he has complete history with ex-rays of Miss
Eckert's illness, treatment, etc. on file in his offico.
