Begin Trials Here With Aluminum Dust to Halt Progress of Silicosis Dr. D. W. Crombie, Head of London Chest Institute, and Doctor Blaisdale Begin Using Aluminum Dust in Treatâ€" ment of Silicosis in Clinic Here. Are Making Applicaâ€" tion of Conclusions Drawn by Drs. Denny, Robson, Irwin "It is most important that it be unâ€" derstcod that these trials we are makâ€" ing with aluminum smoke or aluminum dust are not conclusive. We are mereâ€" ly taking one further step in the reâ€" search work to ascertain if metallic aluminum has curative properties when applied to silicosis", said Dr. D. "W. Crombie, who along with Dr. James Blaisdale has set up an experimental clinic in St. Mary‘s Hospital Dr. Cromoie ana Blaisdale are beâ€" ing financed in their work by Porcupine mines. The mines have provided a a fund with which to furnish the clinâ€" ic with the expexuve equipment necesâ€" saryâ€" for the complxcated tests. In their eageriniess to know if the inhilation of aluminum dust is efficacious in the treatment and possible cure or silicosis the mines have provided $25,000 for use ¢f the two men here who have been selected to make final appliciation of the aluminum aust theory because of the fact that they are two impartial researchers and are in no way obligated. Explaining silicosis, Dr. Crombie said that the first ibelief was that it was caused by irritation from the sharp edages of particles of silica in the lungs. Years later, after considerable more research had been made, it was found however, that it was not the mechanâ€" ical effects of the daust which were harmful but the silicic acid which form ed when the particles of silica reacted with the body fluids,. This silicic acid produced scar tissue in the lungs. As the scar tissue grew in size it gradualâ€" ly occupied more and more of the lung space and the patient, consequently, suffered from loss of breath and easy fatigue. Drs. Denny, Robson and Irwin workâ€" ed to find something that would render the silica particles inert and counteract them, Dr.â€" Crombie said. They finally found that metallic aluminum dust formed an invisible coating or film over the particles, rendered them insoluble and therefore prevented the forhnation of silicic acid and the scar tissue it produced. The silica particles thus counteracted and rendered harmâ€" After considerable experimentation with animals the two men at the Mcâ€" Intyvre, Robson and Denny and their colleague in the Banting Institute, Irwin, wanted to know if the dust would arrest the progress of silicosis in huâ€" mans. So Doctors Crombie and Blaisâ€" dale were called in. Their first task, said Dr. Crombic, was to establish to their own satisfacâ€" tion that aluminum dust was not harmâ€" ful.To do so they went to Pittsburg to a factory where aluminum was ground into dust in the manufacture of paints ard inks. Even the atmosphere on the outside of the factory was found to conâ€" tain a great amount of aluminum dust. Inside, in some part of the building one could ncot see ten feet in front so thickâ€" ly was the dust suspended in the air. The average term of employment for men in the plant, who were breathing in this dust day after day; who would breathe more dust in a day, said Dr. Blaisdale, than they would give in treatment in a year, was twelve years. ‘The men all} were found to be in perâ€" fectly normal health and to have no signs whatever of tuberculosis or lung impairinent. were quickly expelled from the TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY : 22ND, 1940 POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE WEDDED icosis it was not going to harm the patients who received it, the two men wert ahead and bought the $10,000 worth of equipment necessary to do the complicated tests necessary Having established to their own satâ€" isfaction that no matter what the efâ€" fect of aluminum dust might be on silâ€" The experiment was a long range one, the doctors insisted. Inasmuch as a man took years to develop silicosis he could not expect to get over it in a day by breathing aluminum dust. Beâ€" fore any conclusions could be drawn it might ‘be a year or possibly more. In the past few days the two doctors have begun testing and treatingâ€" men. When a man is taken he first is given a strict medical examination to rule out any other aliments but silicosis. Then respiratory function tests are begun and the aluminum dust inhilation treatment begun.
