Furthermore, prior to 1919, the indications from radium were
contrary to using it for troatment in ahumber of diseases.
It
was fairly established that burns might show late effects in the
form of genoral disturbances or skin changes resulting in cancor.

The plaintiff said correctly in his brief that in 1917 "no one had
re-oxamined an individual who years before had been treated by ra-
dium salts administered internally, and found evidence of late injur-
ious effect. But it is difficult to understand how the defendant
can be said to have perpetrated a f Traud when it, a commercial enter-
prise, failed to draw inferences, which no doctor had ventured, to
the effect that its industry was suicidal to its vorkers. It was a
theory that radiun would be deposited in the bones and there were
provon cases or burns by X-roy and direct contact causing delayed ex-
ternal offects but that does not lead to the conclusion that dial
painters were doomed or even in danger as or the knowledge of 1920.
On the contrary in the sarly literature, numbrous statements
were made as to the beneficial effect of radium applied internally.
Some of the articles to that effect are listed below. 9
