My father-in-law in NH once raised a few turkeys but gave up after a year or so. He said, just when you get them safe, turkeys invent some new way to hurt themselves. Like humans. Lead acetate according to the Web, has a sweet taste and was used as a sugar substitute in wine and foods back in the day. It was used in dyes as well. I mean, please, who would have first even tasted it???
The photo of the Highbridge mill shown above looks strange to me. The topography and the homes in the foreground don't fit my mental image of that place in the 40s and 50s. I lived in one of the homes across the river.
Being a snake oil merchant is one thing. But being a customer and actually buying it is another.

Believe it was partly responsible for the fall of Rome, lead pipes and used to sweeten wine
There will always be a snake oil merchant.

Probably not his father, it was 1900.
I wonder if that was Richard Eaton's dad. Archibald?
