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.
