Gentlemen:-
Enclosed herewith you will find an article entitled
"Radio Active Material andIndustrial Hasard?", 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 poison-
ing cases. The investigation by Dr. Flinn, which formed the basis
of his article, has been by far the most thorough and far reach-
ing work undertaken on this subject. This article will appear 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 adver-
tised 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 in 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 applications 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 truly,
President.
