On this day in 1899 -- March 6 -- Felix Hoffmann trademarked the synthetic compound, Aspirin ®, on behalf of the German pharmaceutical company Friedrich Bayer & Co.
Originally derived from natural plants, the active
ingredient -- salicin
-- which
does in fact ease pain, can also cause severe stomach and mouth
irritation when ingested.
With Hoffmann's synthetic compound, Aspirin, these irritations were minimized and aspirin was widely distributed.
Accordingly, how much do you know about... ASPIRIN?
Please choose -- painlessly -- from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each questions listed below.
Good Luck and remember YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!

A. Slippery Elm, or
B. Hemlock, or
C. Willow
Although it relieved pain, the willow bark extract,
salicylic acid, caused severe stomach and mouth irritation.
Hoffmann’s breakthrough came on 10 August 1897 when he produced the first 100% chemically pure form of acetylsalicylic acid, thus without the free salicylic acid.
On 6 March 1899, Bayer registered Aspirin as a trademark.
[SOURCE: Aspirin discovered during experiment with waste product]
=======
The active ingredient in aspirin, acetyl salicylic acid, is a synthetic derivative of a compound, salicin, which occurs naturally in plants, notably the willow tree.
Extracts of willow were traditionally used in folk medicine and as early as 400 BC the Greek physician Hippocrates recommended a brew made from willow leaves to treat labour pains.
However, when the active ingredient salicin was converted to the medicine salicylic acid it was hard to swallow, causing irritation to the lining of the mouth and stomach.
Then in 1897 Felix Hoffmann of the Bayer pharmaceutical company developed the process of synthesising the acetyl salicylic acid named later as aspirin.
