Radium sulphate is one hundred times lesa soluble than barium
sulphate. The berium salt is so insoluble that 1t is introduced
in the intestinal tract so that it may be exemined by X-ray. Up to
1925, the literature did not show thet radium sulphate would remain
in the body. Although there had been suggestions to the contrary,
it was accepted that the insoluble salt when taken by nouth would
pase direetly through the intestinal traet and from the body in a
short period of timo. Redium was administered by sono doctors in
the form of bromide, on the theory that it would remain in the
body longer.
It must be remembered that in considering all of the vidence
prior to 1924 that nono or it is remotoly concerned with the dial
peinting industry but with the knowledge and experiments of the
soientific and modical world.
There is no way to illustrate more emphatically what the 0X-
perts in radium thought of the dial pinting industry than to recall
thot even arter Dr. Martland's findings in 1925, Dr. Lind, Dr. ylinn,
Dr. schlundt and Dr. Pohle disagreed with him, although thoy all
eventually onme to ngree with him.
It is apparent from the literature produced during this trinl
that prior to 1925, although there was BODIO suggestion of hazard
through the agonoy of radium, my hailed it as a great boon to
humanity, and its internal uses by injection, inhalation, sto., were
frequently advocated. That the articles by Hoffman followed by that
of Martland, Conlon nad Knef in The Journal of the American Medical
ABSOCIATION, published reapectivoly in september and December of
1925, startled the medical world, is demonstrated in the language of
Lacessagne in his article entitled, *A New Professional Accident
Among Handlers of Radioactive Meterials; Neorosis or the Maxillaries" 14.
