Re: Help on Nuclear Medicine History

I found references to Schillings tests in _Radioactive Pharmaceuticals_, 
US Atomic Energy Commission, April, 1966, Chapter 26, pp 455-476.  Also 
included is a rather extensive bibliography which includes:

R.F. Schilling, Intrinsic Factor Studies, II. The Effect of Gastric Juice 
on the Urinary Excretion of Radioactivity After the Oral Administration 
of Radioactive Vitamin B12, _J Lab. Clin. Med,, 42: 860-866, 1953.

GBJ Glass, etal., Uptake of Radioactive Vitamin B12 by the Liver in 
Humans:  Test for Measurement of Intestinal Absorption of Vitamin B12 and 
Intrinsic Factor Activity, _Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 51: 251-257 (1954) 
and _Science_ 120:74-75 (1954).

Hope these help.
