My dear Mr. Viedt:
Ne are forwarding the reports on your employees
who were examined at this office. Of course they all show some
pathology and departures from the normal. The conditions found
vary widely and there was no evidence of the influence of any
has almost perfect teeth and low blood pressure. Another
particular metallic poisoning. For example, one young woman has
some mouth infection plainly due to the fact that the teeth have
been devitalized, the usual form of root infection not reflecting
any metallic poisoning. In this case the blood pressure ran
somewhat high. Another case showed a loss in weight, mouth in-
fection, and a somewhat high blood pressure. All of these cases
show a certain degree of anemia, which is a common finding among
all industrial and commercial women employees.
In the case ofMiss Vera Eldridge, the loss in weight
is not fully explainable by any of the conditions found : and I
have suggested an x-ray of the chest and a special examination
of the feces, and some other follow up tests. I think that it
would be wise to arrange at least for an x-ray of the chest and
examination of the feces in order to secure as definite information
as possible regarding the loss in weigh t.
In a word, these cases, as far as we have gone, just
ghow the ordinary ran ge of human troubles and do not reflect
any specific occupation influence.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Eugene L. Fisk, M.D.
