Eckert, W G

A brief profile of Harrison Martland is not enough to judge the totality of his impact on American medicine. His scholarly study of the occupational exposure of the radium watch dial painters is a classic in epidemiological application of the tools of the pathologist to the study of a community problem. It serves as an excellent example of how knowledge derived from study of the dead can be applied to the benefit of the living and present similar problems from occurring.
