I believe that we cannot afford to overlook the possibility that lead poisoning occurred from some such factor or factors on which we have no exact information.

There is no oc casion for any anxiety as to Dr* D y e r 's condition, but it is decidedly to our mutual advantage to know at this time just what quantity of lead is beinA excreted.

I had neglected to consult you on this matter when y cu were in Wilmington and advise you to send this apecunt directly to I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the talk which you gave our coys and I assure you that you need net fear having spent too much ti me on the basic scientific background as they all enjoyed this ve ry much and it has given them (especially those iew men) a cictu re of lead poisoning and lead absorption which they did not have in the past and which they are grateful for having at. .the present time.

It has been well established by our years of experience In this country that if the plants are properly built and properly operated, there will be no cases of lead poisoning.

While this is not remarkable in view of the fact that few of our laboratory animals develop the so called chronic type of lead poisoning, it is not certain that this is not an ex pression of faulty observation with respect to the course of the disease.

Redden, I should explain to him that there lias been a suspicion (which has not been verified by any facts) that the absorption of tetraethyl lead added to gasoline if handled carelessly, might in due time give rise to chronic lead poisoning; that in view of this suspicion careful investigations have been made among men and upon animals to determine whether or not there 13 any likelihood of thi3 occurrence; that no evidence whatever has been found that lead absorption in appreciable quantities occurs under these conditions; that, in spite of that fact, however, the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation has made it a matter of policy to educate gasoline handlers not to use Ethyl gasoline in cleansing tools or for any other purpose which brought about unnecessary contact of the skin with the gasoline, and that it looks with disfavor and #2 Mr# E l Webb January 10, 1928 discourages the use of Bthyl gasoline In the way suggested in his letter largely because encouragement of such procedure would tend to offset the attempts which had been made (not only by the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation, but'by the United States Public Health ^ervice) to educate gasoline handlers in the avoidance of any unneces sary contact not only with Ethyl gasoline but with materials which are intended purely for use as motor fuels# If you do not wish to make your suggestion as strong as I have outlined above, it will be a very simple matter merely to set forth the facts and allow Dr Redden:to make whatever application of them he chooses, on his own responsibility.

Considering the quantities of lead that are available usually, in cases of lead poisoning, and the length of time required normally to eliminate these quantities, the time seems excessively short.
