ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY LABORATORY A . BA RTON HEPBURN HOSPITAL OGDENSBl'RG, N.Y. October 17, 1936 Dr. Robert Kehoe College of Medicine University of Cincinnati Ohio Bear Dr. K e h o e : I received the results of the analysis of tissues of sometime ago. I thank you very much for this and for the loan of the enclosed reprints which I am returning. I am rather late in answering your letter but wished to study this matter at some length before writing. It vill be per fectly alright for you to turn over your report to the lawyer on this case. . Y/Te are required by the Y.orkraen's Compensation laws in this state to report findings in connection with Y.'orkmen's Compensation claims. So I suppose it would be the proper thing for me to send these results to the Commission but will wait your reply before doing this. As the attor ney in this case may think it best that the report come from you directly to the Industrial Commis sioner although I do not suppose it matters much either way. ' I am in accord with every' thing you have to say in your letter with the exception that I believe the variations in the results between the samples of the same tissues are more likely to be due to values being near the limit of accuracy of the method rather than to the variation in actual amounts in various parts of the given organ or tissue. At least, it is true in my e x perience with larger amounts of poisons that dis tribution in a given organ is nearly uniforn. ST. LAWRENCE COTJNTY LABORATORY A . BA RTON HEPBURN HOSPITAL OGDEN8BCRG, N.Y. page 2-- October 17,1936 In the above however, is only a minor question and I wish to thank you again for your assistance and advice in this case. Very truly yours, F. vV. Porro, M. D. Director. P. S. It is possible that we may somewhat rarely have requests for lead analysis and tissue, urine, and feces. The tirae required for infrequent anal ysis is so great that I wonder if your institution would undertake the analysis of specimens sent from some distance and on what terms this might be done?
