Wow! I don't know if anyone has seen this before, but I just stumbled upon a site with some incredible info about amalgam.
#1 is very long, but interesting.

Here is an excerpt from #15 - Amalgam in 1883:

Quote
Talbot ES. "Injurious effects of mercury as used in dentistry". MISSOURI
DENT J, 15:124-30 (March, 1883).

Among experiments upon animals was one upon a guinea pig placed on a gauze
platform in a glass jar over pure mercury. He presented all the symptoms of
mercurial poisoning. He became emaciated and trembling, the body and limbs
were cold. He lingered along for two weeks, and died. It is the opinion of
many eminent scientists that mercury inhaled into the lungs produces a more
heightened effect than when taken into the stomach.
