hear hr. iiehoe:
You may remember that I spoke
to you after your exceedingly illuminating
paper Of O c t o b e r 24, 1932 in Washington, D.C. :
I happen to have a moderately large group of
battery workers under ny immediate supervision
as "'ell as q uite a n u m b e r of r e f e r r e d cases fro m
other industries, throughout the state.
In one of our local hospitals here we have been examining the 24-hour urine of these cases quantitatively for lead, using the old Lederer method and checking the final lead sulphide color wit h known quantities of lead down as low as .009 mgs. I wonder what you think of this method and lust exactly what method of urine analysis you have been using for your recent studies.
Assuring you that I shall appreciate any s u g g e s t i o n s that yo u m a y have to give to me, I am
Sincerely yours,
