Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, Mo.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
Thanks for calling to our attention the article by Mias Schaub
in the May Survey Graphic. This had not come to our attention, although I
had understood that Miss Schaub was engaged in writing a book.
With reference to testing Miss Fryer, Mrs. Hussman and
lrs. Larice for the amount of radium now contained, I and sure that this could
be readily arranged thru our Committee. If during the next few months you
anticipate being in the Eastern part of the country, and feel that you would
have the time to spare I would be glad to arrange for such an exenination.
Our program is such that I don't believe it will be necessary
for us to call upon you in a professional way during the next few months.
Business, asayou know, is at a minimum and it has become necessary for us to
exercise rather drastic measures to reduce our operating expense. We have cut
everything to the absolute minimum, but even so it may be necessary for us to
be even more drastic.
The Byers case has quite thoroughly agitated the subject as
to whether or not there is any efficacy in the use of waters charged with radon.
The question seens to be in dispute with most of the people who have been
associated with radium recently such as Martlandt and Flinn disbelieving that
there is any merit in such water.
I presume that you have heard me speak of the North American
Radium Products Co. , sponsored by Nr. John W. VanWolkenten, and type of machine
which they are putting out. The machine is doubtless the most unique of any
that has ever been put on the market, and contains sufficient radium to deliver
7 to 8 thousand Mache Units daily in four glasses of water. These people have
expended a considerable amount of money in the development of their organiza-
tion and apparatus, and are earnestly endeavoring to carry on under a great
handicap.
Mr. VanWolkenten is anxious to have some experiments conducted
to determine the effect of cultures when exposed to radon and also when they
are exposed to radium element. I don't knov whether his idea is altogether
practical, but he has discussed same with Dr. Flinn, and I have btongly advised
his not having the work conducted by Dr. Flinn for the following reasons:
