Dr. Herman Schlundt,
University of Missouri,
Columbia, No.
Dear Dr. Schlundt:
Your letter addressed to my home, giving
some of the results reported to you by Dr. Flinn, has been
received. Also I may say that Dr. Flinn sent me a copy
of the letter which he addressed to you, but I must admit
I had not read this letter over carefully up to the time of
receiving your comments.
Apparently Dr. Flinn has no data, or at
least did not submit any data of the expired air tests con-
ducted upon this girl prior to the administration of his
treatment. We are, therefore, not in a position to compare
the expired air test after treatment and before. However,
from the gamma ray test of the patient it is quite reasonable
to assume that the expired air would not disclose any such
amount as 600 micrograms of radium being deposited in the
system. Neither can I subscribe to the fact that by this
treatment of any other treatment would it be possible to
obtain such a large natural drift as Dr. Flinn has on a
patient normally containing a reasonable amount, say 10 to
20 micrograms of radium element. I, therefore, feel that
there must have been some error introduced into this work
which Dr. Flinn has not taken into consideration.
In his letter addressed to you he cites
some three other cases, one of which only discloses any
unreasonable amount of radon in the expired air, the other
two cases are quite normal and apparently present a picture
more or less as it should be.
I may say that Dr. Craber had a conference
with Dr. Flinn relative to his method of treating these
patients, where he claims to have gotten such favorable results
and Dr. Craver has on more than one occasion indicated that
Dr. Flinn was very indéfinite regarding what was done, and
apparently equally indefinite as to the results obtained.
Dr. Craver seemed to feel that Dr. Flinn's work really lacked
a true scientific aspect, and therefore, in the four cases
now being treated he is carrying the thing out very methodic-
ally and on a very much more systematic basis than Dr. Flinn
