literature, the result of research work or actual practice,
which proves radium as a distinctive exciting cause of
pathelogical changes in the skin, soft parts, bone, internal
organs or the blood picture.
In the present state of our knowledge it is
difficult to decide when small variations from the normal
blood count become significant. In the United States, over
fitty grams of radium element is now in use for therapeutic
application and all are aware of the more extended use made
of the X-rays following the development of the Coolidge Tube.
There should be a committee which would give such matters
careful study. An active joint committee representing the
American Radium Society, The American Roentgen Ray Society
and the Radiological Society of North America, could make
a good start in this work and suggest necessary precautions
as well as lines of study. Up until the present time there
has been no authoritative statement to guide physicians
in making a diagnosis of radium poisoning as an exciting
cause for the condition that we found in this plaintiff.
