Doar Professor Flinn:
Dr. Tridge has handed mo youx letter of the 13th,
ultimo on the subject of the supposed effects of radium on workers, in
the use of luminous paint. You have seen Dr. Roshor's roport, and that
is the only ovidence we have of effect on the workers. It was as the
result of what Dr. Overton found in tuo of the cases that it was thought
woll to hand the tatter over to Dr. Rosher.
Such limited inquiry as has been made hore has not
revealed symptons in any way comparable with those described in the
Journal of Industrial Hyglene as occuring in a Inctory in America.
No case of necrosis has been browht to light, and I do not know of any
jan necrosis in porsons who have woriced in this industry, outside of
those reported from the United States. I em in close touch with the
Medical Inspectors of Pactories on the Continent, and algo with the
Director of the Medical Section of the International Laboux Office -
Dr. L.Carozzi - and I am pretty sure to have had my attention called to
such cases, if they had boen observed. They will be on the watch now.
Believe me,
Youzo very truly,
(signod) T.D. Legre
