BR 2-17; Aspirin

Today, I read the book ‘Aspirin’ and this book introduce about aspirin. Aspirin is the drug which can leave aches and pains. For example, headaches, when they have a fever. Aspirin made by willow bark and it used long time ago. People used to make a medicine from the bark of t he tree to help people.

Many scientists tried to find out what was the willow bark. In 1828, Johann Buchner found that it had yellow chemical in it. He invented this drug and it can leave aches and pains but after use it, they had stomach pains. Many scientists invented aspirin like Johann Buchner. After that, aspirin was perfect drug.

Now, aspirin made into a tablet and this is great idea. Because it is easy to drink and we can felt a few taste bad. Today, all over the world, one billion aspirin tablets are taken each week. I think that scientist who lived long time ago is very genius and very kind. If they didn’t kind, they didn’t think that tried to help people.
