January 27, 1939 Ur. Join Francis Borelll Mjt* Pleasant Pike Etemilton, Ohio Dear Doctor Borelll:-- I havelust^cmoletsd an examination of your patient at the request of the Industrial Commission of Ohio. In my`opinion Kr.^W^has some degenerative process in the spinal CorouhiCh may or nay not he the result of lead poisoning. I have stated in my report,that I am not Justified in drawing any other conclusion as to the origin of his disability* but X am actually quite ' doubtful as to the role of lead in spinal cord degenera tions. Be that as. it say, I have recommended that Mr. be hospitalised for a period_of two or three weeks ^orriighi caloric and 'high, .vitamin .intake, in; blie hope and belief that_he_wlll.be considerably improved, and that the subsequent continuation of this regime" say result in a considerable degree of recovery. 1 have no assurance that my recommendations as to. Hr. treatment will be followed, or that he will be sent back to me If they are followed, fhe latter, of course, is of little consequence', since the only important thing is that he be treated, X take this means of communicating my point of view to you, for whatever use it may be to you, sinee I feel that this man should have every opportunity for recovery that can be provided. Incidentally, X should be very grateful to you if you oould give mb the general clinical picture shown by the records of his case at the time of his original illness* Bordlally yours.
