June 24, 1929.
U. S. Rad ium Corporation
and Mr. Raymond Berry.
Dear Sirs:
We wish to inform you of the results of the work
of the Commission appointed to take charge of the five women
who are supposed to be suffering from radium poisoning.
(Freyer, MacDonald, Schaub, Larice, Hussman). This Commission
was appointed in accordance with an agreement reached between
the U.S. Radium Corporation and Mr. Raymond Berry, representing
the women.
1. We find that all the women are radioactive.
2. We believe that they are all suffering from the
effects of radioactive substances.
3. The data obtained do not positively prove, with
absolute certainty that their present condition is
the result of the effects of radioactive substances.
4. At present there are no indications that the Commission
may order the discontinuance of the annuities in the
near future.
5. Dr. Craver and Dr. Ewing hold that the information
given in this statement is confidential, having been
obtained in the course of our relations, as patient
and physician, and that any sort of publicity what-
soever connected with it is prejudicial to the interests
of our patients.
b
6. Dr. Krumbhaar holds that improper pulicity connected
with the statement is prejudicial to the interests of
our patients, but he reserves the right to use the
information according to his judgment.
By the Commission.
