December 18th, 1929.
Dr. R. B. Moore, Dean of Science,
Purdue University,
Lafayette,
Indiana.
Dear Dr. Moore:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter
of December 13th, enclosing copy of letter addressed to the
Bailey Radium Laboratories, as well as the Radithor bulletin.
The Bailey Radium Laboratories have been engaged
during the past few year in the distribution of a preparation
supposedly sold thru the medical profession only for use in
connection with conditions where radio-active materials are
indicated.
I am informed that at one time they did a rather
prosperous business, but during the past year or so the business
has been materially effected by the publicity given the cases
in New Jersey. I am further advised that at the present time
they are somewhat disposed to discontinue operations, and I
believe that there is little occasion for us to worry about
their continuing in this line of endeavor. Public opinion has
been so aroused that I believe it would hardly be feasible for
anyone to get very far in recommending the promiscuous internal
administration of radium.
You will doubtless have noticed in the papers
that one of the five girls who brought suit a year ago last
Spring, passed away recently. This has been the occasion of
considerable more publicity, and will probably mean that more
suits will be started.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Vice President.
