As we discussed over the telephone this week, it is not possible at the present time to deterainejhehher or not the previous lead exposure that Mr.HBl had is playing a role in maintaining his present state of ill health. It may be possible, however, to throw some light on the lead factor were this man to be hospitalized, placed on a diet, and his excretions studied for a period of two weeks or so. Insofar as the question of liability is concerned, it would appear that the patlent?s illness is directly related and continues from his exposure to gases evolved while he was cutting in 1931* The prognosis on this case must be extremely guarded. While hospitalization and attempts at de-leading have benefited some patients, we feel that this procedure is decidedly in the experimnfcal stage and that the chances of benefiting IIr. by such a procedure are small. Hone' the less& chance which he would not have vwre nothing done. If there are any items in the enclosed records which you care bo discuss in some detail, do not hesitate to address us.
