Because carboxylic acid salts are water soluble, we can convert water-insoluble carboxylic acids to water-soluble alkali metal or ammonium salts and then extract them into aqueous solution.

Exploring Essential Healthcare Medicines: Solpadeine Max Soluble, Emla Numbing Cream, Wernets Ultra, Sominex, and Andrews Liver Salts

In today's fast-paced world, access to effective healthcare medicines is crucial for maintaining our well-being and managing various health concerns. Among the wide array of healthcare products available, several stand out for their unique properties and applications. In this blog, we will delve into five noteworthy healthcare medicines: Solpadeine Max Soluble, Emla Numbing Cream, Wernets Ultra, Sominex, and Andrews Liver Salts. Each of these products serves distinct purposes and offers relief in different situations.

Solpadeine Max Soluble

Solpadeine Max Soluble is a popular over-the-counter pain relief medication that combines two active ingredients: paracetamol and codeine. This combination makes it highly effective in providing relief from moderate to severe pain, including headaches, dental pain, and musculoskeletal pain. The soluble form of this medication allows for quicker absorption, providing faster relief for those in need. However, it is essential to use Solpadeine Max Soluble responsibly, following the recommended dosage and usage guidelines to prevent potential side effects or addiction.

Emla Numbing Cream

Emla numbing cream, short for Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetics, is a topical anesthetic cream that contains lidocaine and prilocaine. This cream is widely used in the medical field to numb the skin or mucous membranes before various procedures such as injections, vaccinations, or minor surgeries. By numbing the skin's surface, Emla Numbing cream reduces pain and discomfort during these procedures, making them more tolerable, especially for children. It is crucial to apply Emla cream according to the prescribed instructions to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

Wernets Ultra

Wernets Ultra is a denture adhesive powder designed to help denture wearers secure their dentures in place comfortably. It provides a strong hold, preventing slippage and discomfort that can arise from ill-fitting dentures. This product offers a reliable solution for individuals who rely on dentures to improve their ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Wernets Ultra is easy to use and can significantly enhance the quality of life for denture wearers.

Sominex

Sominex is a sleep aid medication that contains the active ingredient diphenhydramine. It is commonly used to relieve temporary sleeplessness and insomnia. Sominex works by blocking histamine receptors in the brain, which can help induce drowsiness and improve the quality and duration of sleep. However, it is essential to use Sominex cautiously and only as directed, as prolonged or excessive use may lead to tolerance or dependency issues.

Andrews Liver Salts

Andrews Liver Salts, a well-known antacid and laxative, has been a trusted remedy for digestive discomfort for generations. It contains sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and magnesium sulfate, which work together to relieve symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, and constipation. Andrews Liver Salts can quickly alleviate discomfort and promote digestive health when taken as directed. It is a versatile product that can be a valuable addition to your medicine cabinet.

The shipments finally came in and I've been reviewing the contents for a bit.

We've got:

3 "Bambooshots", which are bamboo pipes designed to load and fire a line of liquid

5 "Inkguns", a handheld weapon designed after a water pistol that fires ink

4 "Calligrabrushes', large calligraphy brushes with a small reservoir near the fine bristeled head

2 "Potslohers", portable cauldron-like buckets that presumably hurl ink

And a lone 'Barkashi Inkbow', which is heavy but has a good draw, with a bit of tubing to store and fire, presumably, ink based arrows.

They also came with several tanks of Cephela Ink- potent, deep staining inks naturally made within their bodies (some say they're made of the stuff) that can be used for many things, but mostly are used for their practices of combat back in the Land of 8 Colors. These things are hefty and are worn on the back. I was assured by the delivery squid that if they were to run dry, we'd only need to submerge one in Cephela ink and it will naturally regenerate.

Pretty much got a new employee out of the deal, as a younger Cephela - an Octrin- decided to start the immigration process. 'Expand horizon and fresh looks' as they managed to say. I understand that Oskin Common may be a bit hard to grasp for them.

In addition to the above, I was also sent a few examples of their clothing - all of it seems light and comfortable, but has an uncanny ability to dissolve into ink along with the Cephela wearing them. Apparently the process to make them is going to be a guarded secret for the time- there is much work in terms of ambassadorship within the nations they want to get done before sharing such secrets. It's all vibrant and pleasing I will admit, and some of it lines up proper with the small armor rack and travel wear section of my store.

Wrote the tags before I wrote this. Because Hypothesis: if (testosterone correlated with obesity) then (we would see that trend in cis men). Looking up the research and yeah, I was absolutely right in the tags.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3955331/#:~:text=Moderate%20obesity%20predominantly%20decreases%20total,suppression%20of%20the%20HPT%20axis.

To be honest I won’t share more research because I don’t have the tools to sort the good from the bad. And some of those articles seemed pretty damning<even if they used bmi instead of anything else>. What they measured was the excess testosterone in the blood which means weight gain will lessen the effect of what ever the body has access to.

There are ways around this - specifically going to a endo and being like I need this and testing your hormones monthly or something and then dosing accordingly till you’re at the weight you want. The study that used bmi is interesting, because it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t be big. It just beens that you have to train.

This isn’t medical advice and I am not a professional. Everything here is speculation at best.

hi, i hope its okay to ask you for advice/information, if not then im sorry, please ignore me

so, im 10 month on t, and my endocrinologist said something about how i shouldnt gain weight because it can lessen the levels of testosterone, and i really want to become somewhat fatter. she advised me to not do that, and i don't really know how this works and whether she is fatphobic or she is right?

sorry if i worded anything weirdly, english isnt my native language and i really only get to use it online

hello there, thanks for stopping by!

first of all i wanted to say it's great that you want to put on some weight- testosterone causes weight gain for many. that's just something that's going to happen for many people who take T. weight has no bearing on the efficacy of testosterone? i've neve heard of that, what the hell is your endo on about

for reference: i've fluctuated between 260 - 360 at points throughout my adult life. i'm muscular after getting on T- very muscular. i do a lot when i'm able to. if being fat lowers testosterone levels that means almost every T user would almost instantly have their testosterone levels drop once they start gaining weight ... ?

that smells like fatphobia to me. that doesn't sit right. has anyone else heard this before? i'm sorry you got told that, that makes no sense to me. also it's not a bad thing for you to want to put on weight. this person is very biased

crystal magic basics 💎

a quick guide for using and caring for your crystal

— cleanse l it's important to cleanse your crystal of negative or stale energies before and after you carry it for an extended period of time or use it in your practice.

methods of crystal cleansing

— water cleansing | mix sea salt and clear water from a natural source — such as spring water or rain water. submerge your crystals and let them sit overnight. (don't use this method with crystals that are water soluble)

— smoke cleansing I pass your crystal through incense or herb smoke of your choice

— fire cleansing | quickly pass your crystal through the flame of a lit candle or match (safely and carefully! not all crystals are safe to pass through fire, so please do your research)

— salt cleansing | cover your crystals completely in sea salt and allow them to sit overnight before uncovering them

— earth cleansing | like salt cleansing, bury your crystals in dirt or soil and allow them to sit overnight before uncovering them

— sound cleansing | use bells, song bowls, a tuning fork, any musical instrument, or even just play music or ambient sounds in close proximity to your crystal

— program I after cleansing, you can program your crystal with your desired intention so long as it aligns with the properties of the crystal itself

methods of crystal programming

— visualize | hold your crystal in the hand that feels most comfortable, and imagine a soft light filling your crystal while you focus on your intention. rest when you feel you've activated the crystal

— communicate | while holding your crystal, have a conversation with it. this can be out loud or in your head. be sure to make your intentions clear and show gratitude when you feel your crystal has been activated

— familiarize | carry your crystal with you for a few days or weeks while you focus on your intent. eventually the crystal will activate by picking up your intentions

— charge | lastly, after you've programmed your intent into the crystal, choose a suitable method of charging it with energy

methods of crystal charging

— sunlight | put your crystals outside or on your windowsill in sunlight for the day. (this may cause color fading in certain crystals)

— moonlight | put your crystals outside or on your windowsill overnight in moonlight (pretty much exactly like sunlight but without the possibility of crystal color fading)

— your energy I hold your crystal in your hand and focus your energy into it, allowing it to charge

when you’re finished using your crystals, be sure to store them in a cleansed, sacred, and safe space.

and that’s it! you now have access to magic rocks. enjoy!

TMAGP Theory: Tria Prima

Spoiler alert/disclaimer: Written after The Magnus Protocol episode 34; also spoilers for The Magnus Archives

I don't know if this idea has been properly explored yet, but I have had a weeklong hyperfixation where I've delved into alchemy and tried to figure out the inner workings of TMAGP universe. This theory is half-boiled at best, and I apologise if I've misunderstood any of the basic concepts. It seems like even alchemists never fully agreed on them, so they're contradicting each other a lot. That being said, let's get into it.

Perspective Reset

First of all, I think we are collectively still too hung up on the Fears as entities or powers. It's very tempting to classify things with the same framework we're familiar with (and conditioned to), but I think it's preventing us from seeing the bigger picture. Prior to the end of TMA, it's possible that no entities ever even existed in this universe, but the incidents have been taking place for a long time. The creators have also explicitly said that they wanted to create a new rule set, and I doubt that they'd build it with the same blocks. Because of this, I set out to find a set of rules that has nothing to do with the fears.

Classical Elements (Very Briefly)

I will oversimplify this for my sanity and yours. We have the four classical elements: fire, air, water and earth. In the classical worldview, these make up everything on Earth. Each element has two corresponding properties, as you can see in the figure below (fire is hot and dry etc). The elements are in a constant process of circulating and flowing, breaking apart and coming together (sand into water, water into stone, stone into wood...), but fire and air are considered more active and volatile while water and earth are more passive and stable. The rest of the universe is filled with the fifth element, quintessence or aether. It is considered heavenly and perfect and completely unchangeable.

The Three Principles (Tria Prima)

Later alchemists made the addition of (first two and then) three principles that work on the elements and in conjunction with them. These principles were used to describe the alchemical process and its parts, but they also had more metaphysical implications. These are the foundation of my theory.

Salt 🜔: Aka. Corpus or The Body. Things that are solid and stable but also corruptible. The dust that's left behind after something is burned. Associated with earth, water and the property of coldness. In humans, associated with the physical body and therefore physical health. Salt is also associated with preservation and sometimes even rebirth. It's what's left behind after the alchemical stage of putrefication, and therefore what undergoes purification.

Mercury ☿: Aka. Spiritus or The Mind. Things that are volatile and soluble. The alchemical solvent or the smoke that rises from a fire. Considered the perfect agent because it demonstrates properties of both a liquid and a solid. The principle of flowing freely between elements and perhaps even heaven and earth. Associated with air, water and the property of wetness. In humans, it's the mind, or the intellect, knowledge and rationality of a person. Some seem to consider it the universal, platonic idea of thought, as mercury wouldn't be restricted by an individual body.

Sulphur 🜍: Aka. Anima or The Soul. Things that combust, but also the principle of combustibility. The flame that manifests when something is burned. Associated with fire, air and the property of hotness. With fire and air being the most active elements, sulphur is also the catalyst for change. In humans, associated with the soul, or the consciousness that links the body to the mind. It's the emotions, ambitions and desires that animate the body.

Why have I given you the symbols? Because they're all there on the OIAR logo:

(I also circled aether because I thought I'd talk about it later but decided not to, so you're free to make your own conclusions)

I currently believe that these three principles are omnipresent in the Magnus Protocol universe. They're just part of the makeup of the universe, causing no one harm. At least, when they're in balance.

The Theory - It's All About Balance

There's been a lot of talk about balance by now.

"The institute, alchemy, all of it. "It’s all about balance. Dua prima, four elements, seven planets, it’s all the same. You’ve got to keep things balanced. And if something is missing, if someone is misplaced, the equation doesn’t balance… and that’s when things get bad…" (Celia, episode 30)

Here Celia mentions dua prima, which (as I alluded to before) is an earlier theory surrounding Sulphur and Mercury. Salt was proposed as the third principle in a later theory, but by now the tria prima seem to be more widely accepted.

"Not that anyone cares as long as it all balances, right? Not too much mercury or the world ends, not too much sulfur or we all go mad…" (Colin, episode 19)

Huh.

So, let me lay out the actual theory.

The principles usually strive for balance, because it's their natural state. However, sometimes the balance is skewed by human action or some other unexpected force. This imbalance can happen on an individual level or it can affect objects (which then become "cursed") or locations (which then become "poisoned"). In fact, the Magnus Institute calls such poisoned locations loci (singular "locus"). I also hypothesise that this is how the OIAR categorises their incidents (1. individuals - 2. locations - 3. objects).

When there is an imbalance, the affected person/area/object starts to display an unnatural amount or lack of one principle. For example, if there's an abundance of salt, we may see people or things slow down, become passive, even crystallise. Bodies preserved despite obvious corrosion, infections that putrefy and then purify flesh into a "perfect" form. The clearest example I can think of would be episode 3, where the character quite literally transmutes into a tree. Or episode 23 where a character inserts a piece of coral under her skin and begins to paralyse as it grows out of her. If you absolutely have to compare to TMA, I'd say a lot of Flesh, Corruption or Buried statements would fit under salt. It is associated with earth, water and literal bodies, after all.

Abundance in mercury would manifest as things getting a little weird, unstable and volatile, but in a subtle, flowy way. Changing architecture, people seeming odd, things dissolving into others, time or dimensions being unstable, perhaps the limits of a human psyche being broken. I'm thinking of the liminal spaces from episode 8 or the pier from episode 33. The fog is an especially fitting link, what with fog being a manifestation of air and water. I also think the entire Hill Top Centre has been affected. And now that I started, you could easily make connections to the Stranger, the Lonely, the Spiral and the Eye. Which brings an ironic twist to Colin's statement. Too much "mercury" already ended the world once.

Abundance of sulphur would bring out more abrupt changes, it would twist people's passions into unhealthy obsessions, drive people to anger and senseless bloodlust, give consciousness to the unconscious and animate the inanimate. In fact, in episode 19, the character says of Newton's dog: "such a creature must by all natural law lack that essential and ephemeral anima." Another case of an unexpectedly conscious thing would be Liverpool (episode 32), who is coincidentally also incredibly angry. I also think Ink5oul's tattoos have an element of sulphur, not only because their first stolen design (sun with a dot in the middle) evokes the alchemical symbol for sun. In TMA sulphur would probably be attributed to the Slaughter, the Hunt, the Desolation or the like.

I have noticed that a lot of TMAGP incidents involve an unhealthy desire, passion, obsession or (literal and metaphorical) hunger. It's also noticeable that the symbol for sulphur appears on the OIAR logo four times (once in each corner of the square representing the elements). I don't know if this is a stylistic choice or if it has deeper implications. But it's there. And as Colin implies, it could be bad.

The beautiful part about this framework is that it doesn't set any clear limits between the categories, because the balance can be disrupted in many ways. Lack of salt means abundance of sulphur and mercury, and their distribution may also vary greatly. I also don't know if the OIAR ranks their incidents in these terms. They probably have some needlessly complicated system that's practically undecipherable. (I took a long time trying to figure out the DPHW and I'm no closer to solving it.)

End note

I have some thoughts about what the goals of the OIAR and the Magnus Institute are based on this theory, but this post is too long now. May make a follow-up eventually. Or procrastinate until they just tell us.

Edit: I have now written my theory posts on the OIAR and the Magnus Institute. Go read if you're so inclined.

[robesofpierre]

Just finished sewing this late 1780s/early 1790s frock coat for my upcoming french revolution film!!

I’ll add a rough tutorial below in case anyone wants to see how I made it for cheap using a coat I thrifted :)

1. What I started with

Here’s the before picture of the coat without any modifications. It was a bit big on me (I’m quite petite) and rather boxy. It was also giving really intense grandma vibes and not in a good way

2. Questionable Tailoring

The first thing I did was pull an inch or two of fabric in from each side of the coat toward the center seam in back. This was simply done so the coat would fit my small shoulders better and the collar would sit higher on my neck.

Why am I doing it this way, you ask? Easy. I am too lazy to rip open the seams and tailor it properly. I just learned how to sew recently exclusively by trial and error so everything I do here is a series of atrocious shortcuts that would make any seasoned sewist cringe. Take my actions with a very large grain of salt.

3. Actually I lied I did rip some seams

I increased the height of the slit/vent in the back to sit around the tailbone, and I added some pleats to mimic the additional fabric that late 18th century & early 19th century coats tended to have around the back vent. I chose not to sew these pleats down, I just pressed them later.

4. Changing the shape

Then, to get the curved shape, I removed the buttons and pinned the fabric inwards until it looked right. I ran a small stitch along the edge to secure it in place.

(Warning: because of the curve of the fabric, the coat now rumples a bit around the hem… maybe think about this and take this into account if you plan to follow this as a tutorial)

5. Cutting & Hemming

I cut away the excess fabric (this helped reduce some of the rumple— plus, I needed the extra fabric for buttons later) and pressed the seams to flatten them. I also stitched up and pressed the sleeves to have cuffs, and secured the seam down the middle of the collar to flatten it.

6. Button time

Here is where things go from “shitty sewing” to “5 minute crafts DIY.” If you are a normal person (and you want actual functional buttons), ignore this section and just buy a kit to make fabric covered buttons and sew them on.

However, this is not what I did. Patience is a virtue I do not possess, and thus, I could not stand waiting for a button kit to arrive from Amazon. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own fabric covered buttons from the materials I already had. To make matters worse, I also do not own any buttons. After much pondering, I decided to create the button bases from blobs of hot glue.

I made them in two sizes: roughly 3cm and 2.5 cm in diameter (larger: just over 1 inch wide, smaller: size of a US quarter). I cut the excess fabric from earlier into a square with enough room to gather its edges and cinch it around the hot glue blob, which would then be sewn on. I used 9 big buttons down the front of the jacket, each 2.5 inches apart. Two smaller buttons were added to each sleeve cuff.

7. Button “holes”

Because this is a costume rather than a functional daily garment, I could not be bothered to add real button holes. (I also don’t own any button hole presser foot for my sewing machine, so I really didn’t have a choice in this matter.) To lazily fake this effect I just did two layers of zigzag stitching on top of each other. Each "button hole" was approximately 1.5 inches long, which I marked on the fabric in a water-soluble ink marker.

8. “Pockets”

These were quite simple to add-- I just cut rectangles from my remaining scraps of fabric and lining and stitched them onto the side/back of the coat. Despite my intense loathing for fake pockets, I won't make use of real pockets on set to avoid adding unnecessary bulk to the costumes. Also, you guessed it, I didn’t feel like taking the time to add real pockets. So these flaps will have to do for now.

And that's about it! I'll reblog this post with more detailed shots of the coat itself.

If you're interested in how this compares to actual historical garments, here are the coats I used as reference:

Unknown Coat, V&A Museum, Boilly's Portrait of Robespierre, the first coat pictured in this LACMA exibition

Also, for those wondering exactly how budget-friendly this was, it cost just over $7 (USD) in total, since the only thing I actually bought was the coat itself. It's 100% silk too!

Needed a sideblog

Spoiler warning: You can generally expect spoilers for all of the Magnus Archives and however much of the Magnus Protocol is out at the time of writing. Each post will be tagged with "written after TMAGP[xx]" to give context for the general timeframe.

I have also started to tag posts with #tmagp salt, #tmagp mercury, #tmagp sulphur, #tmagp luna and #tmagp sol to mark which principles are relevant to the post.

Some of my working theories are summarised under the cut.

My original Tria Prima theory in a nutshell

(original post here, but the ideas are ever-changing)

The metaphysics of TMAGP aren't based on fears but on the three principles: Salt, Sulphur and Mercury. When balanced, it's business as usual. If unbalanced, weird things start to happen.

Salt 🜔 (Corpus, Body): The principle of stability, rigidity and stagnation. The physical, concrete body of a human or any matter. It's what remains after putrefaction. Vulnerable to corruption. Too much salt could lead to both literal and metaphorical stagnation, rigidity or crystallisation. Getting stuck or locked in place. Infectious corruptions, decomposition, death and preservation of bodies. TMA connections: Buried, Flesh, Corruption, End, maybe Dark (as per nigredo or the putrefying stage).

Mercury ☿ (Spiritus, Mind): The principle of volatility, solubility, dissolution, liminality and dualities. Water, air and things that flow. The human mind, or thoughts, knowledge, ideas and rationality. The collective unconscious that holds within it all concepts, ideas and collective feelings. Represents change and infinite possibilities. Too much mercury leads to general weirdness, confusion, physical and mental limits being blurred and dissolved, fluid transformations, people losing their identities and becoming mass. TMA connections: Spiral, Stranger, Vast, Lonely, Eye, parts of Web.

Sulphur 🜍 (Anima, Soul): The principle of combustion, burning (literally and figuratively), transformation and change. The consciousness that bridges mind and body. The emotions, feelings and passions, the driving force. Too much sulphur (or if sulphur corrupts), and it becomes an agent of destruction. Passions become obsessions, yearning becomes an insatiable hunger, people are driven to violence and destructive acts. Catalyses transmutations, actualises mercurial concepts into the physical reality. TMA connections: Hunt, Slaughter, Desolation, other parts of Web.

Additional forces: Sol and Luna

Not yet sure how these fit, but the symbolism is clearly present.

Sol ☉ (Sun, Gold, Celestial Niter): The active principle, associated with fire, light, reason, passion, the Animus archetype, and both the noble ideals and the destructive qualities of humanity. Governs over the heart. It's the source of life and growth, but also the source of destruction. Gold is the purest and most perfect metal, and discovering the solar fire within oneself is often the goal of spiritual alchemy. Also seen as the pure form of sulphur. Should be balanced by the forces of the moon lest it consume everything.

Luna ☽ (Moon, Silver, Celestial Salt): The passive principle, associated with water, coldness, reflectivity, darkness, secrets, motherhood, the Anima archetype, emotional needs and sensitivity, the unconscious, and the dark, suppressed thoughts and desires. Governs over the brain. Often seen as a mirror into the personal and collective unconscious. Silver is the pure form of mercury, and it needs to be unified with gold to produce the Philosopher's Stone. Personally, I associate Luna with the recurring themes of Hunger and internal voids that are reflected on the reality.

My model for DPHW

This model is still unfinished and quite possibly wrong, but it's the best I've got right now. I base this model on the quaternity in the middle of the OIAR logo:

D = Death/Tod ?? = Salt: A passive force, perhaps measuring the prevalence of physical remains where the volatile elements have been separated. This is still the biggest question mark in the theory.

P/S = Power/Stärke = Sol: An active ego-driven force that exposes secrets and makes people go mad with power or the need to be seen. (Kind of like a monkey's paw where you're actively making the wish.)

H/H = Hunger/Hunger = Luna: A receptive force, perhaps representing the personal unconscious, that manifests your inner/secret/unconscious thoughts into reality. (Like a monkey's paw where you don't even know you're making a wish.)

W/U = Weird/Unheimlich = Mercury: A liminal, omnipresent and intangible force that reacts to collective thoughts and dissolves boundaries between realities (including between material/immaterial). Represents the collective unconscious. (Like an AI that reflects its training data but in the most unsettling ways.)

The four Sulphur signs at the corners could symbolise the consciousness/perception of ordinary people, and how they affect each of the four variables by manifesting reality. (I'll have to thank @thanatos-zagreus-shagreus for this idea)

caught my younger sibling walking around with numb hands for weeks like that was normal so PSA theres some weak evidence that the following are common in POTS:

B12 Deficiency

- characterized by numb (pins and needles) hands and feet, which is persistent for days no matter what position your limbs are in

- take dissolvable B12 tablets once daily by holding them under the tongue for a couple minutes

- ideally those should be the like 2000000% DV ones, since B12 is water-soluble and near impossible to take too much of

- B12 shots can be prescribed for very severe deficiencies

- if this doesn't go away in like a week, See Your Doctor! these are peripheral neuropathy symptoms and that's something 1000% worth checking out ASAP

Magnesium Deficiency

- characterized by a tight kind of muscle soreness (for some reason always in my calves) that doesn't go away with rest

- others report tremors or being unable to keep the legs still

- either take a supplement daily or epsom salt baths

- be warned that oral magnesium works as a laxative, so start low and work your way up

Vitamin D Deficiency

- can cause fatigue and the "seasonal depression" kind of mood

- this is just really common in the general population, not just in people with POTS

- oral supplementation works fine, most daily vitamins have it

- in more severe cases your doctor can prescribe higher dose supplements

Also if you keep getting these symptoms all the time or it doesn't go away within a couple days of supplements, you probably need to see a doctor

Thallium is a chemical element; it has symbol Tl and atomic number 81. It is a gray post-transition metal that is not found free in nature. When isolated, thallium resembles tin, but discolors when exposed to air. Chemists William Crookes and Claude-Auguste Lamy discovered thallium independently in 1861, in residues of sulfuric acid production. Both used the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy, in which thallium produces a notable green spectral line. Soluble thallium salts (many of which are nearly tasteless) are highly toxic, and they were historically used in rat poisons and insecticides. Because of their nonselective toxicity, use of these compounds has been restricted or banned in many countries. Thallium poisoning usually results in hair loss. Because of its historic popularity as a murder weapon, thallium has gained notoriety as "the poisoner's poison" and "inheritance powder" (alongside arsenic).
