Aspirin’s origins go back at least as early as 1758 In that year, an Englishman Edward Stone noticed a distinctive bitter flavour in the bark of the willow tree To Stone, this particular bark seemed to have much in common with “Peruvian Bark,” which has been used medicinally since the 1640s to bring down fevers and to treat malaria Stone decided to test the effectiveness of the willow bark He obtained some, pulverized it into tiny pieces, and conducted experiments os its properties His test demonstrated that this pulverized willow bark was effective both in reducing high temperatures and in relieving aches and pains In 1763, Stone presented his findings to the British Royal Society
Several decades later, further studies on the medicinal value of the willow bark were being conducted by two Italian scientists These chemists, Brugnatelli and Fontana, determined that the active chemicals that were responsible for the medicinal characteristics in the willow bark was the chemical saclicin, which is the active ingredient of today aspirin
The name “aspirin” in the trade name of the drug based on the chemical salicin Properly known as acetylsacylic acid The trade name “aspirin” was invented for the drug in the 1890s by the Bayer Drug Company in Germany The first bottles of aspirin actually went on sale to the public just prior to the turn of the century, in 1899
