Markley,\nCollins & Corbin,\n1 Exchange Place,\nJersey City, N.J.\nDear Mr. Markley:\nMiss Nettie Madlinger, about whom you wrote me on May 24th, reported to ne on\nJune 3, 1932, accompanied by Dr. Joseph P.P.Knef.\nOn the occasion of her visit, I went over the soft tissues in her mouth, as\nwell as taking the enclosed Xrays of her superior and inferior teeth. This\npatient informed me that she was employed from 1916 to 1924 by the United States\nRadium Corporation and that her duty was to paint watches, and that she used\nthe brugh to paint the dials of thege watches and that she had to moisten the\nbrush with her lips or mouth.\nThe lips were of a good color but were dry.\nThe tongue and palate appeared to be normal. The gum condition appeared to be\ngood but the gingival border or the upper margin of the gun adjacent to the\nteeth was slightly inflammed. It had a puffy appearance and bled easily and\nfreely upon the least irritation. A sucking movement of the lips and cheek\nwall would cauge the guns to bleed easily. This gun condition was uniform\nthroughout the mouth. The throst was apparently normal and the patient in-\nformed me that it was not sore. I questioned her regarding this condition\nbecause of the goitre which was on the rightside and which Miss Madlinger\ninformed me appeared about four years ago, and apparently developed very suddenly.\nMiss Madlinger also informed me that in the morning upon her awakening, the pillow\nis covered by a watery discharge which is rather foul smelling. This epparently\noccurs every morning.\nThe Xray pictures reveal that there are numerous cavities of decay present. The\nright superior lateral tooth, which has a small filling, also indicates an area\nof decay on the distal surface. The left superior cuspid and first bicuspid\nboth indicate large carious conditions, and the left superior second molar shows\na carious condition on its distal surface. The left superior third molar indicates\nthat this tooth is badly broken dom and infected. The left inferior first molar\nindicates an ares of decay on its distal surface and a severe bony abgorption about\nthe roots. The left inferior cuspid and first and second bicuspids all indicate a\ncarious condition on their distal surfaces and a severe bony absorption about the\nroots.\nThe right inferior first and second bicuspids indicate a carious condition on their\nsurfaces with a bony absorption about the roots. The right inferior second molar\nindicates partial root canal therapy. The mesial root of this tooth has apparently\nbeen filled to only a slight extent, and there is also a break in the filling or\nthe enamel margin on the disto-occlusal surface.\nThe bony framework of thin"
