Mr. E. S. Daniells,
c/o Ingersoll Watch Co., Ltd.,
Ingersoll House,Kingsway,
London, W. C. England.
Dear 1b. Daniells:-
Enclosed herewith you will find three (3) copies of
an article entitled "Radio Active Material an Industrial Hazard?", by
Dr. Frederick B. Flinn, Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Physiology in
Industrial Hygiene, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia Uni-
versity, New York City, which treats of the so called "radium necrosis"
or redium poisoning cases. The investigation by Dr. Flinn, which
formed the basis of his article, has been by far the most thorough
and far reaching work undertaken on this subject. This article will
appear in one of the early issues of the Journal of the American Medi-
cal 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 unhermful, 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.
