Arsenotherapy

/ˌɑrsənoʊˈθɛrəpi/ noun

Definition

Medical treatment using arsenic compounds, historically used to treat diseases like syphilis before safer drugs were developed.

Etymology

From arseno- (arsenic) + -therapy (treatment). This term emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when arsenic compounds were discovered to be effective against certain infections, leading to experimental medical use.

Kelly Says

Arsenotherapy was a genuine medical breakthrough when Salvarsan was developed in 1910—it was the first effective cure for syphilis—but doctors had to carefully balance poison with cure, often causing severe side effects.
