When the radioactive ashes were administered by mouth,

the

radioisotopes which were chiefly absorbed were alkaline earths, and
were deposited mainly in the bones. When, after the removal of the
alkaline earths, the radioisotopes contained in the radioactive ashes

were administered by mouth in the form of chloride or citrate,

the

radioisotopes chiefly absorbed were heavy metals such as Ru and Rh.;
