HARVARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH 55 VAN DYKE STREET DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS April 26, 1924. Mr. H. B. Viedt, United States Radium Corporation, 422 Alden Street, Orange, N. J. My dear Mr. Viedt: Thank you for the enclosure of the case. I believe that it is an instance of which I, myself, have already gained track. Of course phosphorous poisoning is not what we are dealing with in your plant but it may be that the lesions are the same. I am going to make a trip to Philadelphia on May 3 in order to see a girl who is at the Homeopathic Hospital there and who, so far as I know, worked for the Essex Specialty Company. She may well be this case. I have communicated with her physicians and trust they will have X-rays to show me. That is, of course, what I want. I have been finding some extremely interesting and important material in the literature and look forward to seeing you again. Will you arrange, if you can, for me to see the New York case, Mrs. Kuser, sometime on Wednesday, May 7? I should like to see her and also her doctor, who is Theodore Bloom and can be readily Blaum? located in New York. You will be glad to know that Dr. Barry has coöperated very readily and has sent me all his X-rays. Very sincerely yours Ceil It. Cante, Cecil K. Drinker, M.D.
