June 4, 1925. Mr. Ed. Ingraham, c/o The E. Ingraham Company, Bristol, Conn. Dear Mr. Ingraham: It is true that an operator who formerly worked in our Application Department developed soon after leaving what is reported to be a stubborn type of Jaw necrosis following the extraction of a tooth or some teeth. Jaw necrosis I am told, results from a good many casses. It seems, however, that three, possibly four, former operators developed similar conditions although these cases developed from one and a half to four years after the operators left our employ. Investigation has disclosed nothing in the medical literature reporting a similar condition although luminous material application has been common commercially abroad since 1913 and in this country since a year or two after that. It seems almost incredible that if the occupation was injurious it should not have appeared and been investigated and reported in the medical press before this. We are strictly enforcing the rule that operators must not moisten brushes with their lips and while I do not low what investigation Dr. Hoffman has made, I an quite convinced that he would not have made his speech at Atlantic City recently had he thoroughly investigated the industry in this country and abroad. Yours truly, President. ARoeder-HI
