Letters Received to Ed. A. Markley, [E.A. Markley], June 6, 1932

DRS. DAVIDSON, BARTLEMAN, PEARCE EXODONTIA AND RADIOGRAPHY 516 BROAD STREET NEWARK, NEW JERSEY June 6, 1932. Mr. Ed. A. Markley, Collins & Corbin, 1 Exchange Place, Jersey City, N.J. Dear Mr. Markley: Miss Nettie Madlinger, about whom you wrote me on May 24th, reported to ne on June 3, 1932, accompanied by Dr. Joseph P.P.Knef. On the occasion of her visit, I went over the soft tissues in her mouth, as well as taking the enclosed Xrays of her superior and inferior teeth. This patient informed me that she was employed from 1916 to 1924 by the United States Radium Corporation and that her duty was to paint watches, and that she used the brugh to paint the dials of thege watches and that she had to moisten the brush with her lips or mouth. The lips were of a good color but were dry. The tongue and palate appeared to be normal. The gum condition appeared to be good but the gingival border or the upper margin of the gun adjacent to the teeth was slightly inflammed. It had a puffy appearance and bled easily and freely upon the least irritation. A sucking movement of the lips and cheek wall would cauge the guns to bleed easily. This gun condition was uniform throughout the mouth. The throst was apparently normal and the patient in- formed me that it was not sore. I questioned her regarding this condition because of the goitre which was on the rightside and which Miss Madlinger informed me appeared about four years ago, and apparently developed very suddenly. Miss Madlinger also informed me that in the morning upon her awakening, the pillow is covered by a watery discharge which is rather foul smelling. This epparently occurs every morning. The Xray pictures reveal that there are numerous cavities of decay present. The right superior lateral tooth, which has a small filling, also indicates an area of decay on the distal surface. The left superior cuspid and first bicuspid both indicate large carious conditions, and the left superior second molar shows a carious condition on its distal surface. The left superior third molar indicates that this tooth is badly broken dom and infected. The left inferior first molar indicates an ares of decay on its distal surface and a severe bony abgorption about the roots. The left inferior cuspid and first and second bicuspids all indicate a carious condition on their distal surfaces and a severe bony absorption about the roots. The right inferior first and second bicuspids indicate a carious condition on their surfaces with a bony absorption about the roots. The right inferior second molar indicates partial root canal therapy. The mesial root of this tooth has apparently been filled to only a slight extent, and there is also a break in the filling or the enamel margin on the disto-occlusal surface. The bony framework of thin
