Mortification of the Jaw:
Considerable portions of the lower jaw, or even the entire bone,
may mortify as the result of mechanical violence, of decayed
teeth, or of the abuse of mercury. A more frequent and more
disastrous cause, however, is poisoning by phosphorus. This occurs
with especial frequency in persons who have been long employed
in match factories. The health is gradually impaired and the lower
jaw becomes inflamed, swelled and finally mortifies, " with loss of
appetite, sallow countenance and feeble circulation. The first
indication of the disease is usually toothache, followed by the
dropping out of the teeth, more especially of the grinders, and then
