AODRESS A LL OFFI CI AL CORRESPONOENCC TO THE DI RECTOR O F HEALTH OFFI CES: 2 4 6 NORTH N I 6 H ST. LABORATORI ES: OHI O STATE UNI VERSI TY CAMPUS Dr. Robert A. Kehoe, Director, Research Laboratory, Ethyl Gasoline Corporation, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dear Dr. Kehoe: On September 15th,we received from Dr. B. K. Hildreth, 363 South Arlington Street, Akron, Ohio, a report of a case of lead poison ing with right wrist drop-in one male, aged 21, white American, 365 Cloverdale Avenue, Akron, wlSi^ne additional information that he was a station attendant, Standard Oil Company, 185 Beaver Street (Akron). 'Ye wrote to Dr. Hildreth on September 18th for more details, stating that lead poisoning in a station attendant in our experience was somewhat unusual. Under date of September 22nd,we received from Dr. Hildreth certain additional information which is contained on the blank herewith. This is all of the information we were able to get on the case. Tie do not know that the Standard Oil Company in question dispenses ethyl gasoline, but it is probable that they do. The chief symptoms and conditions reported are hardly enough to make a positive diagnosis of lead poisoning, but the case may be one. I thought perhaps you might be interested in this report and desire to follow it up from your angle. Very truly yours, 72-29 Emery R. Hayhurst, M.D., Consultant, Industrial Hygiene. K 0003568
