Alice Hamilton quotes
" All this I had learned, but I had been assured by medical men, who claimed to know, that there was no phossy jaw in the United States because American match factories were so scrupulously clean. "

Alice Hamilton
" Every article I wrote in those days, every speech I made, is full of pleading for the recognition of lead poisoning as a real and serious medical problem. "

Alice Hamilton
" Everything I discovered was new and most of it was really valuable. "

Alice Hamilton
" From the first I became convinced that what I must look for was lead dust and lead fumes, that men were poisoned by breathing poisoned air, not by handling their food with unwashed hands. "

Alice Hamilton
" I knew nothing of manufacturing processes, but I learned them on the spot, and before long every detail of the Old Dutch Process and the Carter Process of white-lead production was familiar to me, also the roasting of red lead and litharge and the smelting of lead ore and refining of lead scrap. "

Alice Hamilton
" Illinois then had no legislation providing compensation for accident or disease caused by occupation. "

Alice Hamilton
" In those countries industrial medicine was a recognized branch of the medical sciences; in my own country it did not exist. "

Alice Hamilton
" It was also my experience at Hull-House that aroused my interest in industrial diseases. "

Alice Hamilton
" It was easy to present figures demonstrating the contrast between lead work in the United States under conditions of neglect and ignorance, and comparable work in England and Germany, under intelligent control. "

Alice Hamilton
" It was impossible for me to believe that conditions in Europe could be worse than they were in the Polish section of Chicago, and in many Italian and Irish tenements, or that any workshops could be worse than some of those I had seen in our foreign quarters. "

Alice Hamilton
" Lead is the oldest of the industrial poisons except carbon monoxide, which must have begun to take its toll soon after Prometheus made the gift of fire to man. "

Alice Hamilton
" Life at Hull-House had accustomed me to going straight to the homes of people about whom I wished to learn something and talking to them in their own surroundings, where they have courage to speak out what is in their minds. "

Alice Hamilton
" No young doctor nowadays can hope for work as exciting and rewarding. "

Alice Hamilton
" Phossy jaw is a very distressing form of industrial disease. It comes from breathing the fumes of white or yellow phosphorus, which gives off fumes at room temperature, or from putting into the mouth food or gum or fingers smeared with phosphorus. "

Alice Hamilton
" Surely there is every reason why we should devote to this disease the same intelligence and energy that we devote to other preventable diseases. "
