The syringe that forced nitric acid into her mouth and ruined her jaw

In this episode, we follow the documented life and testimony of Elizabeth Storie, the child whose face and jaw were destroyed after a local surgeon administered repeated treatments. We outline the medical actions, the family's response, and the pieces of evidence that turned a domestic tragedy into a legal and moral question: what did the records expose?

Person: Elizabeth Storie
Date: 1822
Location: Glasgow
Person: Robert Falconer
Person: John Campbell

- A four‑year‑old Elizabeth received daily calomel doses for three weeks that blackened her mouth.
- Surgeon Robert Falconer later returned with a syringe and twice injected nitric acid into her mouth.
- The acid caused tongue detachment, tooth loss, jaw bone destruction, and lifelong inability to eat conventionally.
- Family sent the powder Falconer offered as a cure to three physicians, who found a large quantity of arsenic.
- Physician John Campbell formally recorded Falconer’s actions as medical negligence and the family prepared to sue.
