June 10, 1928 U. S. Radium Corp. Orange, New Jersey Gentlemen: Am engaged in selling RADIUM ORE DISCS to be placed in drinking water, as a health measure, and my work has been much hindered by articles published in the News papers, similar to the enclosed clipping. Am at a loss to know in what form the Radium (if indeed it was Redium) was used, to do so much harm; or with what other substancee it was mixed, - -etc. as to be so poisonous. Was not Phosphorus-really the substance used for illuminating purposes? Was any Radium used at all, - or was" Radium 11 simply the name used for the Plant ? Until I can know something more about the facts of the case I cannot explain the situation satisfactorally to my Clients and prospective Customers, who, many of them, have now become afraid to drink Radio-active water, (since reading the enel osed) Please send explanation in encloded seff addressed envelope- and I shall be very grateful for the favor. Very Truly Yours H. Mead 8457 San Juan Ave. Southgate, California.
