in it to lead to a controry conclusion. Dr. Lind's opinion was
corroborated at the trial by the testimony of Dr. Schlunt, Dr.
Flinn, Dr. Failla and Dr. Pohle.
Both Dr. Lind and Dr. Schlunt participated in the Government's
project to recover radium in Colorado, and as physicists stand out
in the field.
Dr. Lind exposed himeelf, without anticipa-
ing danger to as much as 440 milligrams of radium at one time, and
in a period of four years he supervised the handling or 8 groms of
radium. Despite the attack made by plaintiff against him because
he could qualify only as a physicist and not as an expert medical
man consideration of the evidence in this case mokes it increasingly
obvious that the considerable portion of the working knowledge and
experimentation in the redium field was that of physicists and not
of physicians.
The corroborating testimony montioned cano from very respect-
ablesauthorities.

following:
*Painting watch and clock dials with a luminous
paint containing a radiouetive substance began in
this country in 1915. buring the world war and in-
medistely after, this ansil industry was at its peak,
and minco the induntry begun sevoral thousand workers
in all have been employed. only within the last dec-
ade had poisoning by radium been recognized. Martland
in 1929 reported 40 cases of radium poisoning among
workers and former workers in this industry or in close-
ly allied occupations."
It 1a admitted that Dr. Hartland first established the danger
in the dial painting industry in 1924 or 1925. Prior to 1924, it
had not been suspected and Dr. Lind, whose creditability is not to
be questioned, was unable to conclude that Dr. Martland was right
until 1929.
