ANST - Medieval poisons and antidotes

[Mark.S Harris]

In the recent announcement of the rules for the Assassin Game the 
following was said about poisons:

> All fake “poison” must be period to the Middle Ages.  Anyone using fake
> “poison” must somehow be able to relate its name to the victim.  A
> victim may redeem her/his life by having a working knowledge of poisons
> and selecting the correct, previously arranged antidote with
> documentation. (Unicorn horns and things of the sort are not
> acceptable.)

Those who would like to prepare themselves with some knowledge of
medieval poisons and their antidotes might want to take a look at
