- About 6 P.M., violent delirium supervened; the patient became restless, wished to get out of bed, and at last had to be tied (fourth night); towards morning, delirium gave place to coma, and he died after a short agony, at 7 A.M. (fifth day), 99.
- Sudden delirium, followed by a comatose state, interrupted by occasional screams (ninth night); delirium (tenth day), 100.

The lower jaw was affected in nine cases out of ten , the upper jaw in one case; the disease very seldom spread from the upper jaw to the bones of the face. The first symptom was tensive pain in the teeth, then looseness of the teeth and discharge of matter between the gum and teeth; if now the teeth be drawn the swelling and pain increase and involve the whole half of the jaw; usually the disease progresses slowly and irregularly, with transient periods of improvement; the soft parts covering the jaws, cheeks, sides of the mouth, become swollen and intolerably painful; one tooth after another becomes loose, and every pressure upon the gum causes discharge of pus; the pus often is discharged through the cheek externally. The skin of the margin of the lower jaw becomes red, soft, loosens, and at last infiltrated; from this infiltration there follows a discharge of matter that seems to come from the alveolar process; wherever the opening is probed denuded bone is found; at the same time it is found that the periosteum that has been loosened from the bone has a new deposit of bone on its inner surface, so that the sound passes between two surfaces of bone, one consisting of old bone, the other of new growth; the denuded bone decays in various directions and is gradually discharged with the matter.
- After two or three years these necrosed pieces of bone separate from the whole extent of the jaw.
- With this the patient suffers from fever, at times violent, considerable emaciation; nutrition is very much disturbed on account of the difficulty of swallowing, and the digestion suffers on account of the mixture of offensive matter with the food; sleep at night is possible only by means of increasing doses of Morphia, and the patient gradually sinks with hectic and exhaustion.
During the prostration tuberculosis frequent develops; at times also lobular pneumonia, terminating in gangrene of the lung and pyohæmia, 180.
- The Phosphorus disease of the jaw consists in the first stage of an inflammatory swelling of the gum and soft parts of the mouth, extending over the face and neck, associated with the development of masses of osteophyte of varying extent and thickness about the jaw; in the second stage the teeth become black, the gum recedes, the osteophytes suppurate, and the jaw becomes denuded, rough, and blackish or grayish-green, and the teeth fall out; this stage is associated with the most violent pain in the face and head, disturbance of digestion, sleeplessness, fever, salivation, fistulous burrowing of the matter in the muscles and integuments of the face, which became erysipelatous, followed by exfoliation of the bone, and sometimes by extension of the necrosis to all the bones of the skull, and death with hectic fever, 87.
- Necrosis of the jaw; the disease begins as toothache, involving one or more teeth in the upper or lower jaw; the disease spreads to the jawbone, which increases in volume and becomes painful to pressure; afterwards the soft parts become swollen, especially the gums and cheeks, in the latter erysipelatous inflammation develops, even extending over the whole side of the face and down on to the neck; the patients have fever, yellow color of the skin, especially of the face, loss of appetite, thirst, irregular stools; the pain at last extends to the ear and temple, with increased secretion of saliva. Various teeth become loose, and between them there is a discharge of offensive matter, that collects in various parts of the jaw under the gum or under the skin externally, and gradually makes its way into the mouth or through the skin, usually by a number of circuitous channels. The teeth fall out, the jaw becomes denuded, and the necrosis either becomes circumscribed or involves the whole jaw, 72.
- Diseases of the gums and maxillary bones, terminating in necrosis and sometimes in death, were not uncommon; the complaints only appeared after a sojourn in the factory for at least two years, and in individuals habitually exposed to the fumes; all the workmen whom he had observed had decayed teeth before the disease commenced, not unfrequently before commencing the manufacture; many other workmen with sound teeth have preserved them in the midst of phosphoric vapors, a fact which induces him to believe that carious teeth constitute a predisposing cause of the disease, 67.
- The disorder at first resembled ordinary toothache, attended however, with swelling of the face; as the severity of the symptoms increased she became a patient at the Royal Infirmary, but derived little benefit from the treatment; six months later all the teeth on the right side of the lower jaw fell out, or were removed without difficulty, before the jaw was removed, and on the left side as far as the second bicuspid, all the teeth were sound. There is a great deal of new callus thrown out in the situation of the old bone, so much so that there will be scarcely any disfigurement from the loss of the jaw, a little from the loss of the teeth; she can close her jaw and chew her meat and bread well; the bone and teeth of the upper jaw are in a perfectly healthy state, and she now enjoys excellent health, .
