Attention: Mr. Burt Rogers.
Gentlement-
Enclosed herewith you will find an article entitled
"Radio Active Naterial an Industrial Racard?", by Dr. Prederick B. 17inn,
Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Physiology in Industrial Hygione, College
of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, which treats of the
so called "radium necrosis" or radium poisoning cases. The investigation
by Dr. Flinn, which formed the basis of his article, bee been by far the
most thorough and far reaching work undertaken on this subject. This
article will uppear in one of the early issues of the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
While it seems that the charge of "radium poisoning"
caused the death of several girls (which charge was widely advertised
through the press a few months ago) is entirely unfounded, we naturally
hesitate -without further investigation - to make the broad statement
that radium in luminous material is unharmful, although we believe this
to be the case. Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, we caution
you, if you have not already done so, to order your operators not to
point their application brushes between their lips.
Whenever we receive any further authentic information
on the subject, we shall be glad to pass it along to you.
Yours very truly,
President.
