MANF RED BOWDI TCH DIRECTOR OF HEALTH AND SAFETY April .18, 1956 > Robert A. Kehoe, M. D. Director, Kettering LaboratoryUniversity of Cincinnati College of Medicine Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Bob: I amnot a little obliged to you for your April 16th criticism of Dr. Bessman's method, and Dr. Cholak's. Needless to say, your comments on its dubious merit in borderline situations strike me as very much to the point. As in athe method has not only been published Yiidely-read journal and distributed in reprint form, but was referred to by Bessman as "a method for the determination of lead in the various fluids of the body . . . . . simple enough so it could be executed in any hospital" in a broad cast over the NBC Network on February1- 6th last, and is in use, diagnostically, in important medical centers, it seems to me quite vital that the gist of your criticism should get into print as soon as possible. I hope very much that you will see that this is done, and that I may be forewarned as to where and when it is to appear. MBsGW
