Dear Mr* Halls
I am returning to you herewith
the photostatic c o p i e s o ^ t h ^ m e d ^ a l r e c o r d s and
correspondence in the
case*
Obviously I am unable to make a diagnosis on this man from these records, and it does not seem that anyone else has arrived at a definite conclusion as to the nature of his illness, or as to whether he actually has any disability. The somewhat tentative diagnosis of disseminated sclerosis suggested by Dr, Ashby is the nearest approach to a conclusion* I should say that any disability which this man may have as a result of a progressing disease, suoh as disseminated sclerosis, should lend itself to diagnosis the more readily, the longer it is allowed to develop. Therefore If this case should come to litigation at some later time, it should presumably be easier to make d diagnosis then than it has been in the past or than it is at present* Therefore I should not feel that any action is necessary at this time* If lead is suspected or
suggested as a toxic cause of his illness, the evidence
to this effect will be no easier to demonstrate now
than at a later date. If there Is latei? cause for
action, the logical tiling would appear to bo that of putting him in the hands of a competent man for a thoroughwgolng study and a diagnosis* .
Very truly yours,
RAKiis
