24. In case that you state they are eliminated, do you have any idea how rapidly such elimination occurs. 25. Are you familiar with the work of Siol, Viol end Gordon, done in 1915, with reference to the rate of elimination of radium chloride administered internally. 26. Is it not true that within 5 days after an injection of radium chloride internally or intramuscularli 35 to 45% is eliminated by way of the feces and urine, and in that radium chloride given by mouth 65 to 75% is eliminated at the expiration of 5 days. ) fail 1 15 Is it not true that those authors further state that after the expiration of the 33 10th day the rate of elimination, regardless of whether the radium chlorido used was given intravenously, intramuscularly or per os, is practically the same and that it is slightly less than 1% Based upon this work how long a period of time would you assume would be required by a patient, who had an injection of say 50 micrograms of radium element, before would int it would and be practically the prounticlly all all eliminated. eliminated in sittal month to inght to m months years 29. Are you familiar with the work of Dominiciend his associates, published in the literature around 1910 to 13, with reference to the internal administration of rad inm sults. 30. Is it not a fact that Dominicie was directing his efforts towards developing a radium preparation which when once introduced into the system would remain for allonger period of time than the common ordinary soluble salts such as the chloride 31. Is it not also true that Domincie did not meet with much success in fixation of rad um even when the colloidal radium sulphate was administered internally. 32. Did he not find that this material was eliminated with about the same expediency as the more suluble salts. 33. I assume Doctor that you are versed in the solubility of the various products of raduim, such as the chloride, bromide and sulphate 31. And that you are aware that the chloride and bromide salts are readily soluble in aqua solutions, and that the sulphate of radium is considered one of the most insoluble inorganic compounds on which we have information 33. I further assume that you are aware that radium, and the more common element barium are/analogous in their chemical behaviour, and that even though barium sulphate is considered practically insoluble, that radim sulphate is 100 times less soluble or has a solubility approximately 1/100 of barium sulphate. Based upon these facts let us outline two cases: First - that a definite amount of a soluble salt, such as radium chloride be taken by mouth, and second, that a like amount in the form of the sulphate be taken by mouth, what would be your assumption as to the course of the radium in these two instances. 36. Would you not assume in view of the highly insoluble nature of radium sulphate that it would practically all be eliminated thru the feces, and that a certain amount of the soluble salt would in all probability be picked up by the blood stream. You under stand the This question is purely a hypothical one, and one which we ask for your opinion based upon the knowledge of the art as of 1915 and 1925, or any period between these dates, and not in view of the informa- tion which we have at the present time.
