Kehoe University of Cincinnati College of fledicine Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Doctor Kehoe: I apologize for the delay in sending you the manuscript on the Versenate treatment of children with lead poisoning. I had to exert great pressure on the young men to write their manuscript. I wonder whether investigators oay sufficient attention to the use of good oxidation pro cedures in the analysis for lead. I am adding the story of an interesting case of an adult who was treated with Versenate. You may be es pecially interested in looking at the chart on page six. V<e think that the drug should be given intermittently, and I will report to you as soon as I have enough material to show advan tages or disadvantages. One of my co-workers, Dr. Fredric Rieders, has made an interesting study comparing the effects of BaL and of EDTa which he will present at the next Federation meeting. With best regards, I am Very sincerely yours, H. Brieger, M. D Professor of Industriai Medicine and Director of the Division 0008637 N9779
