,As you will notice the blood containned
sk.
(*102 mgs) of lead per (100 oc) and the spinal fluid -'
U)lk rags.) of lead;per (lQOce)* Both of these results
._
are .In the upper, normal Hailts, the spinal fluid contain*
hr
Ing only about a third the amount offload we have found ,*
In lead encephalitis* Both could be somewhat over noraal.^
because of his exposure to lead over'a long period
TJ
likewise because of his present illness which would raise ^ ' jifr Y
his circulating lead due to the acccoapanying acidosis* .
However, the treatment since the onset would tend to

reduce this materially* .

In light of the above findings, I should say that lead ds a factor here is only secondary to his
