WTF Fun Fact - Antimony Pills

 In the 1700s, pills made out of the element antimony were taken orally as a laxative to relieve constipation. Once they passed through, they were retrieved from the excrement to be used again. Some families passed down the same pill from one generation to the next. – WTF Fun Facts
