The defendant negligently and carelessly, and despite its knowledge, actual and constructive, as to the dangerous and injurious nature of these radioactive materials to human tissues, so conducted its business and 80 caused the decedent to carry on her work, as to cause her to ingest and inhale large quantities of solid and gaseous redicactive sub- stances contained in and given off from the material with which she worked, and likewise omitted and failed to supply her with reasonably adequate and safe tools, appliances, methods and working conditions for carrying on her work, and on the contrary caused her to prosecute the same with unsafe, dangerous and inadequate tools, appliances, methods and working conditions, and likewise omitted and failed to warn her or apprise her of umisual risks attend- ing her employment known to it and to its knowledge not patent and observable to the decedent and of which the decedent was wholly ignorant,and likewise omitted and failed to warn her or apprise her of the dangerous nature of the radioactive materials with which she was working, and of which she was wholly ignorant, and otherwise negligently and carelessly used and employed the redioactive materials above mentioned in and about its place of business. 9.
