"Arsenic – the “Poison of Kings” and the “Saviour of Syphilis”" by John Frith. This article explores the multifaceted history of arsenic, highlighting its dual nature as both a potent poison and a significant medicinal agent. It details arsenic's use throughout history for nefarious purposes, such as murdering royalty and as a component in chemical warfare agents like Lewisite and Adamsite. Conversely, the text also emphasizes arsenic's crucial role in medical advancements, including the development of treatments for syphilis (like Salvarsan, Paul Ehrlich's "magic bullet"), sleeping sickness, and certain forms of leukemia. The source outlines the evolution of arsenic's applications, from ancient remedies to modern chemotherapy, while also touching upon its toxicological properties and historical detection methods.
