Dear 1br. Daniells:-
Enclosed herewith you will find three (3) copies of
an article entitled #Radio Active Material an Industrial Hazard?" by
Dr. Trederick B. Flinn, Ph. De, Assistant Professor of Physiology in
Industrial Hygione, Collego of Physicians and Surgoons, Columbia Uni-
versity, New York City, which treats of the ao called #radium necrosis"
or radium poisoning cases. The investigation by Dr. Finn, which
formed the basis of his article, has been by far the most thorough
and far reaching work underfairen on this subject. This article will
appeer in one of the earky issues of the Journal of the Amorican Modi-
cal Association.
While it seems that the charge of #radium poisoning"
caused the death of several girls (which charge was widaly advortised
throwgh the prese a fow months ago) is entirely unfounded, tre naturally
hesitate - without further investigation - to makre the broad statement
that radiom 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 00, to order your operators not to
point their application brushes betweon 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.
