BC. Mr. D. F. Smith January 14, 1903 Mr. Maynard K. Drury Dryad Die Casting Corporation North Avenue Manchester, New York Dear Mr. Druryj Subjectj Py-.raul A-200 Hydraulic Fluid Your letter of January 3 related to the above oubjcct has been referred to me for reply. I am sorry to learn that your employes tiave had recent difficulties m getting Pydraui A-200 in tholr eyes. We know that this can be a painful experience. Fortunately, appropriate animal studies and more important oases such as your own, have shown that no serious or permanent damage to eye tissues should result. Our first aid Instructions include the usual precaution of immediate flushing the eyes with copious quantities of water. Since our fluids are "oily subotanoes and are not water soluole, flushing with copious quantities of water for at least fifteen minutes may be necessary. The Individual should then be referred to a physician. It is our understanding that modern treatment for such eye cases includes the installation of pontoealne eye drops or Its equivalent to relieve the pain. Ophthalmic cortisone solutions may also be used to relieve the Irritation. Very truly yours. MNJtsf M. N. Johnson, M. D, Assistant Medical Director Medical Department DSW 018804 STLCOPCB4005348
