The specific damage of the bone-marrow, of the function of the spleen and in
general of the blood system, we found unfortunately in a nurse who used to apply for years
the carriers, and that with all serious consequences. At first there appeared
haavy
ulcerations on both hands, and finally the woman perished of aplastic anemia (in which
deformations of the red and white blood corpuscles present themselves). As is known, the
bone marrow is the site of development of the red blood corpuscles.
I should like to remaki besides that according to my own researches all radio-
active elements, both a and b radiating, exercise the same effect on the blood. I
injected "intravenos Polonium, active precipitation, emanation, radium chloride, Thorium
X,
and I could also ascertain with small doses diseases characterized by relative increase
of white blood corpuscles, with larger doses "Leukopenie". In one case we arrived at
a
rabbit through Polonium (500 statistic units were sufficient) to a decrease of
Leucosytoses down to zero, which of course resulted in the death of the animal.
I trust that rendered you some service thus, how ever scarce my data may be.
Yours very truly
