Re: Thorium gas mantles

["rick strickert" <rick_strickert@pc.radian.com>]

    American Wick Co., Inc. Morris, IL, sells a 4 mantle pack with thorium.
    The package notes that the mantles are made in Malta.  There is a
    warning against keeping the mantles near the skin for prolonged
    periods; but no mention of radioactivity.
