(4) We have analyzed the tissues (obtained at necropsies) of a fairly large number of persons from various walks of life, and we know a great deal .about the lead content of human tissues under various conditions, including those associated with fatal lead, poisoning

A study on his part of the quantities involved and the length of time required for elimination of lead absorbed and retained following prolonged experimental ingestion of lead (in experiments involving much smaller quantities of lead than those retained by men hi certain lead trades) might be enlightening, as might an examina tion (or re-examination} of some information published by us in 1933.
