Assistent Professor of Physiology in Industrial Hygiene, College of shysicians and Burgeons, Columbia University, which treats of the so called nocrosis" or radium poisoning cases.

Milo it seems that the chazge of Bradium poisoning" caused the denth of several dris (which charge was widely advertised through the pross a fer months ago) is entirely unfounded, wa naturally hesitate - without further investigation - to malce the broad statement that radiwn in Ivminous material is unharmful, although tre bolieve this to be the dase. Thereforo, in order to be on the safe side, tre caution you, if you have not alroady done so, to order your operatore not to point their application brushos betweon their lips. theneror tre receive any further authentic information on the subject, we shall be glad to pass it along to you.
