In the 17th century, the distillation of an ammonia solution from shavings of harts' (deer) horns and hooves led to the alternative name for smelling salts as spirit or salt of hartshorn.
Huh. That's fascinating. Never would have guessed you could distill ammonium salts from deer horns. Very interesting article.
Never thought of it as a stimulant, nice read.
