Dear Professor Schlundt:
In reply to your letter of October 21, I
am sending a copy of a preliminary report on my work
with germanium compounds. I hope within a few weeks
to have a paper completed which will give results of
the treatment of more than sixty cases of various
kinds of anemia, twenty of these being of the perni-
cious type. I shall send you a typewritten copy of
this paper as soon as I am able to get it in shape.
I have hoped for the opportunity to try
the germanium compound on the anemia caused by radium
and if you have access to such a case I shall be glad
to send material and directions for its use. It must
be administered with the full knowledge and coopera-
tion of the physician in charge of the case--the
reasons for this being obvious. However, we have re-
ceived no report where the physician in charge believed
any injury to have followed its use.
We are working with animals depleted in
various ways, in the attempt to learn how the german-
ium compound reacts. We have a combination which is
different from that used by Hammett, Nowrey, and
others, whose publications are in the Johns Hopkins
Bulletin for 1922-23, and we are working to show this
difference chemically. This is altogether a large
problem.
I shall be glad to cooperate in any way on
the radium problem.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Rosalie M. Parr
