Aspirin is one of the safest and most effective drugs
invented by man.This most popular medicine in the
world today is an effective pain reliever.Its bad effects
are relatively mild.It is also cheap.
For millions of people suffering from arthritis(关
节炎),it is the only thing that works.Aspirin,in short,
is truly the 20th century wonder drug.It is also the second
largest drug to kill oneself and is the leading cause of
poisoning among children.It has side effects that,
although relatively mild,are largely unrecognized among users.
Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899,it has been around much longer than that.Hippocrates,in ancient Greece,understood the medical value of tree barks and leaves which today are known to contain a chemical found in aspirin.During the 19th century,there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical,and it led to the introduction of aspirin.By 1915,aspirin tablets were available in the United States.
A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation(发炎).It also reduces fever by affecting some of the body's reactions.Aspirin may cause your stomach uncomfortable.The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water,but few people can stand the bitter taste.Some people suggest crushing(捣碎)the tablets in milk or orange juice.
