Dangerous Use O f R a d i u m

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3.- (A.P.)—The death of Ebcn M. Byers was used yesterday by Dr. Paul B. Dunbar, assistant chief of the United States food and drug ad- ministration, as a means of warning the public of this country against indiscriminate taking of radium preparations without proper medi- cal advice.

Byers, a wealthy Pittsburg iron manufacturer, died in New York af- ter taking a. radioactive water over a period of two years.

“We were afraid something like this would happen," Dr. Dunbar said. “In 1928 we made a survey of the many radium products on the market and began issuing warnings to the public. 50m of these made gronly exaggerated curative claims and we proceeded against them.

ticn containing radium is a pretty dangerous thins and should not be
