IN REPLYING. ADDRESS THE PU B LIC HEALTH SERV ICE R E F E R T O : SES--OH--G DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE Wa s h in g t o n 25, D. C. Division of Special Health. Services May 17, 1955 Dr, Hobert A. Kehoe lettering Laboratory College of Medicine University of Cincinnati Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Dr, Uehoe: tie are attempting to get together some clinical photographs of occupational diseases to illustrate a brochure which the American. Industrial Hygiene Association is developing to solicit fellowship funds. Since the brochure will be directed to a lay audience, we would like to show a variety of disease entities and to depict the most dramatic effects of poisoning by different chemicals. One section will be devoted to what industrial hygiene has done in the control of occupational diseases. Our preliminary thinking is that lead and mercury poisoning would be good subjects for this presenta tion, For this purpose we thought that illustrations by photographs of lead encephalitis or paralysis nay make good subjects for such a portrayal. We plan to use, in addition, a photograph of dermatitis resulting from cutting oils and two X-rays showing a normal lung and a lung with advanced silicosis. Thus far, we have been unsuccessful in finding the type of lead and. mercury pictures that we are seeking, and we would greatly appreciate any assistance that you can give us in suggesting sources for such illustrations. As an alternative, perhaps you may have access, or be . able to refer us, to dramatic clinical photographs illustrating other occupational diseases that lend themselves to this type of portrayal. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Best regards. Sincerely yours, Henry U. Doyle, Chief Occupational Health Program
