Radium Girls and Radium Jaw are linked in 'See Also', because when the first cases of radium-related necrosis were appearing in women working with radium watch dials, doctors spent years searching for a source of phosphorus at the factories. The symptoms were very similar and the mechanism of toxicity of radium was not yet understood.
