Kehoe, College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cinninnati, Ohio. Dear Dr. Kehoe:- lc -'/ ty Under separate cover I am sending the papers lent me some months ago for use in the lead poisoning cases. Thank you for the loan. The papers have been .of great value to me in forwarding my education on this subject which is so comoletely misunderstood by nearly all the laity, who are very little behind most of the medical profession on that point. More power to you and your brethren in spreading enlightenment, because the farther it spreads, the better it will be for- ' everybody having to do with the handling of lead at any sta.ge of its. mining and use. To bring you d.ovm to date on our case - The referee awarded in favor of young We have' taken an appeal to the board, and that is to be presented to the board on October 29, 1942. There is no telling wher^^ the decision will be handed down by the board. ^ounS VHBHI has continued, to show improvement, which his physicians say is conclusive proof that the tentative diagnosis of one Philadel- phia man, of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, was altogether erroneous. I am much relieved tha/ the boy d_oes not have that terrible condition. My brother, about whom I could res,d the opinion in your eyes, went on until Thursday afternoon, when he passed away of a cardiac condition. His weight was down to less than 70 pounds. I find from talking to one of his physicians while he 'was in Hahnemann Hospital they gathered from occasional remarks by him that he had diagnosed his condition long before any of his brethren suspected it. Instead of being a good patient, he continued to be the devoted physician, with the usual result of talcing away from his patients the deen professional understanding and skill that can only be" acquired by years of intensive practice. Thank you ior the loan of these papers, . you for the intensive education given me daring our short time together * N1926 October 20* 19^2. Mr. George H.

Kehoe University of Cincinnati College of Medicine Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Dr. Kehoe: Thank you for your letter of May 18. The referee has not yet decided." the case, therefore I have been holding the book. Incicently, it is proving very useful to me in connection with another case. As soon as I have the decision from the referee, I shall know whether I am going to need the books immediately or not. At that time, also, if I am to need them, I can excerpt the books that seem most useful, and return the volumes to you. My brother is not improving. You examined him and know the very desperate state of his health. I did hope that the approach of more temperate weather would help him. Perhaps it will but we have not had such 'weather . in this area as would help a cardiac case. With warm personal regards, and. with very many pleasant recollections of the day, not only personal, but from 0016331 N19266.02 May 18, 1942 Mr. George H.
