He is still badly crippled as a result of arthritis or rheumatism, but claims that he now suffers no paid and further feels that the movement of the afflicted joints is continually improving. All in all he presents a wonderful picture of a man who has devived benefits with the use of Badothor. Mr. Curtis is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin snd about your age.

I discussed the matter of possible hazards in connection with the internal use of radium quite freely with Mr. Curtis and told him that we would be extremely anxious to conduct a few tests to ascertain the amount of radio-active materials deposited in his sytem at this time.
