Metals in medicines webinar to be presented by SPECTRO

Arsenic has many facets. Arsenic compounds are not only deadly poisons to which many crowned heads fell victim in previous eras, but in small doses arsenic was also given to horses because it promotes appetite and the growth of hair. In this way, horse traders could revitalize old nags and sell them for more money.
