Iron is the 4th most abundant terrestrial element, comprising 4.7% of the earth's crust, yet fully 1/3 of the earth's inhabitants are iron deficient.

Gold for the mistress, silver for the maid, copper for the craftsman, cunning at his trade. "Good" said the Baron, sittin in his hall. "But iron - cold iron - is master of them all."
