A bezoar was an ancient medicine. It was a [[calcium]] or [[selenium]] stone taken from stomach of an animal such as a [[goat]] and given to a human medicinally to cure poisoning. Bezoars are generally no longer considered a valid form of treatment, although in some cases doctors use similiar medicines. The calcium provided absorbtion properties similar to those found in modern anti-poison agents.
