March 28,1930.
Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
During your conversation with Mrs. Hughes yesterday
morning, I read the preliminary draft of paper #3 by you and Dr. Fialla.
I had hoped to have an opportunity to discuss this
with you, but as you realize the opportunity did not present itself.
There are just one or two minor points which I wish to call to your atten-
tion:
1. I notice that you use the expression "co-efficient of elimination" -
as you will recall Dr. Flinn could not appreciate the exact significance
of this expression, and I am wondering if we may not have this same
experience with the medical profession as a whole, for after all this
article will occur in one of the medical journals, rather than in a
chemical or physical journal, and would it not be better to utilize an
expression which would convey a more definite meaning to the average
physician than the term "co-efficient of elimination"? They seem to
have an idea that such an expression involves a fixed constant, which I
believe we agreed did not exist in this case.
2. Page 6, first paragraph, under the heading Discussion:
You infer the various ways in which radium may be eliminated, and I am
wondering whether or not it might not be advisable to suggest the
possibility of conveying radium to off-spring when the Mother is radio-
active. I merely raise this point for your consideration, for perhaps
it is a little premature to offer such a thoughT- not that it may not
exist, but it may be just as well not to put such thoughts into the
minds of such cases.
3. In view of the fact that this is the third contribution in this
field, and that the same instruments have been used in all of the work,
I do not feel that acknowledgment should be made to the U.S.R.Cop. for
the use of its instruments. In fact I believe that it would be better
to omit this acknowledgment.
Sincerely yours,
Vice President.
