Canfield, et al, vs. U. S. Radium Corporation
H. H. Barker, Esq.,
Vice President, U. S. Radium Corporation,
535 Pearl Street,
New York City.
Dear Mr. Barker:
We today had a talk with Dr. Humphreys in regard
to having an examination by our x-ray experts of his radiographs.
He is perfectly willing that they should have an examination of
them, although he would like to be present when they are at the
Orthopedic Hospital at Orange for that purpose. The hospital is
located on Lincoln Avenue, Orange, and the telephone number is
Orange 4032. We told him that Dr. Steiner and another x-ray expert
would like to call. He said they could call any day but suggested
that they telephone him first so as to make certain that he will
be there.
It is therefore a simple matter to make the arrange-
ment with Dr. Humphrey and we suggest that a day or two before the
call he should be telephoned to for the purpose of making the ap-
pointment definite.
The sooner this examination is had and the report
given to us the better. Mr. Smith and I expect to confer with Dr.
Martland on January 31 in the evening, and if it is possible to have
the report of our x-ray experts before that we would appreciate it,
although it is not essential that we should have it in order to
interview Dr. Martland.
Reiterating our telephonic talk with you this morn-
ing, please be advised that Dr. Humphreys said that Miss Katherine
Schaub is now a patient at the Orthopedic Hospital and that she is
in very bad condition; so bad that he does not expect her to live
very long. Her trouble seems to be primarily in her joints. He says
her mouth condition is notparticularly bad.
We think it would be very wise to have Dr. Humphreys
present when Dr. Steiner and his associate examine the x-ray pictures
for this reason: that they can ask him to point out to them the line
or other indicia of radium deposits or necrosis as evidenced on the
x-ray pictures. You will remember that we scoffed at the idea that
Dr. Humphreys could show on an x-ray plate any radium necrosis by
indicating a line or lines in the plate. Our doctors should ask Dr.
Humphreys to point out specifically to them the evidence that he finds

on the plates which indicates radium and we should then have their
comments on what Dr. Humphreys says and what the plates show.
We have a letter from Mr. Berry dated the 23rd instant in
which he says with respect to physical examinations of Mrs. Canfield,
"At the earliest opportunity I am going to see Dr. Martland to arrange
with him to use his office for the examination. As soon as I have
done that, I will communicate with you. We understand you are writ-
ing to Dr. Schlundt for his available time and that Dr. Flinn is
available at any time.
In the meantime, we need do nothing further in the making
of arrangements until we hear from Mr. Berry.
Very truly yours,
C.Wmemdez
