Letters Sent to Teters & Teters, July 12, 1926

stad lo lo .omoM July 12th, 1926. Drs. Toters & Teters, Middlebury, Indians. Dear Doctorst- Enclosed herewith you will find an article entitled *Radio Active an Industrial Hazard?", by Dr. Frederick B. Flinn, Ph. D. Assistant Professor of Physiology in Industrial Hygiene, 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 basie of his article, has boen by far the most thorough and far reaching work undertaken on this subject. This article vill appear in one of the early issues of the Journal of the Amorican ledical Association. mile it seezas that the charge of #radium poisoning" caused the death of several girls (which charge was widely advertised through the press a ferr months ago) is entirely unfounded, tre naturally hesitato - witheut further investigation - to maire the broad statement that radium in luminous meterial is unharmful, although we bolieve this to be the case. Tecrefore, in order to be on the esfe side, we cantion you, if you have not alrendy done 80, to order your operators not to point their application betteen their lips. menover we receive any forther authentic information on the subject, we shall be glad to pass it along to you. Yours very truly, Prosident. CBLEMSOB Inclosure (1)
