Letters Sent to Dr. Herman Schlundt, April 4, 1932

April 4th, 1932. Dr. Herman Schlundt, University of Bissouri, Columbia, Mo. Dear Dr. Schlundt: We have your letter of April lst, relative to the Byers case which has received so much publicity during the past few days. For your information I may aay that Mr. Byers was a sportsman in every sense of the word, and consumed large quantities of Bailey's Radithor, on the theory that it had all the rejuvenating properties which Balley claimed for same. While I don't know the exact amount which he consumed, still I beliove I am correct in stating that it was from three to five milligrams. As a matter of fact he became so enthusiastic over the properties of this material that he bought some for some of his girl friends, one of whon died last Fall with a bad case of necrosis of the jaw, ascribable to radium poisoning. The case is one of which we have had knowledge for the past year and a half, and it was only a matter of question as to how long he would live. Probably from such incidents as this some good comes, but I am inclined to believe that it only gives a few of our friends an opportunity to bring their contentions before the public view, hoping to gain some favorable publicity. There is not nuch more that I can say about this case. Sincerely yours, Vice President. hHBarker:RE
