Cohmbia University OF College of Physicians and Surgeons 22 7 epidemiology INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE 437 WEST 59TH street, NEW YORK PUBLIC HEALTH ADMINISTRATION INSTITUTE OF public HEALTH SANITARY science July 2I I927 Mr. C. B. Lee United States Radium Corporation, New York City, N.Y. Dear Mr Lee: I am enclosing our findings on Mrs Hussman. You know that we have only examined the employees of the Luminite Company once. At that time it was thought that any signs of ill effects from radium would be manifested either in the blood or in menstrual disturbances. Latery on we found that we could make an estimation of the amount of radio-active material present in the body by means of the elec- troscope and used it in all of our work. I am very much interested in your remarks about Dr Humphrey's findings. If they are due to radio-active material there certainly is no parallel case ever reported in medical literature and should be a strong point in your favor. I cer- tainly would like to talk with him about these observations. I think that Miss Freyer went to him too but I gathered from her conversation that he did not find anything that he could do for her. Enclosed you will find some communications that I have in my files. You might want to make a copy of them and then return them to me as I do not want to lose them. My address for the next ten days will be Gambrills Maryland. After that I will be on an automobile trip. Yours truly Vndem In attim Frederick B. Flinn
