Résumé
The aim of this article is to stimulate interest and discussion on the pathogenesis of 'phossy jaw'. Historical evidence from newspapers and articles of the time is presented, as other scientific evidence is largely absent. It has stimulated considerable interest in present-day media due to the struggles of nineteenth century reformers to improve working conditions against an apathetic government and weak enforcement of regulation. Those afflicted were often young women who suffered severe pain, loss of segments of jaw, and disfigurement.
