February 10,1927.
Dr. H. B. Flinn,
College of Physicians and Surgeons,
Columbia University,
437 Test 59th St.
N.Y.C.
Dear Doctor Flinn:
I beg to quote one paragraph of a letter I received from
Dr. Herman Schlundt, dated Tebruary 7th:
"I fail to see why alpha rays should exercise a dephosphor-
izing action on bone. True it is that phosphorus is one of the elements whose
atomic nucleus suffers decomposition by a head-on collision with alpha
particles; but this event, in my opinion, is too rare to desorve consideration
in this connection. Wish I lonew something about the chemical changes that
occur in the necrosis induced by phosphorus possoning. Such information might
suggest a lead for speculation.
Very truly yours,
Vice President.
