Dear Mr. Barker:
Enclosed please find check in the amount of $75.00
monthy
for which please send us sixty 10 microgram ampules and
credit my account with the balance, and oblige.
I have a friend who is employed by the United Press
that was in to see no a few days ago to discuss the effect of
the unfavorable publicity on our redium business and he is
inclined to the belief that if you were inclined to do so,
that arrangements could be made so that publicity that would
overcome the present handicap and work it into an asset could
be secured.
The information would be furnished, of course, by
you indirectly so that it would not appear 8.S coning from your
Company
He feels as I do, that there has been e. gross inw
justice done to radium and he is relying upon the fact that the
American people are a sport loving people and, therefore, bes
lieve in fair play.
It will not be long now until the anniversary of
the payment of this money to the girls and, no doubt, there
will be a continuation of unfavorable publicity at that time
unless something is done to counteract it. I feel sure
great good could be accomplished through this connection
from our standpoint, as distributors of a non-deleterious
therapeutic agent that has proven its value in hundreds of
caseso
It is almost impossible to secure finance to
put over e deal with so much to overcome and I do not feel
justified in my own mind in jeoperdizing peoples money on a
radium jar deal with the present existing conditions.
One of those girls has just gone to a hospital,
supposedly to die. Since the middle of December Mrs.
MacDonald is becoming paralyzed and no doubt "we can expect to
read of the death of these girls anytime, with the usual
amount of publicity condeming radium. If there is some effort
made to combat this through legitimate channels and thereby,
clear the name of Radium, I would be willing to cooperate and
render any assistance possible. Otherwise, I see no possibility
of
making money (in spite of the foundation that has been laide from tableth
