Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 >>>>>>> Did you know that aspirin was originally derived from willow bark? Well, pharmaceutical companies call it aspirin after it's been altered, since they can't patent willow bark. :-)>>>>>>> Yes; some years ago when the schools were not so busy revising History we learned more about things around us. It is for sure that if they can't patent it they will be wary of promoting it. But may I bring to your attention that there are many " patent medicines " similar to aspirin and or that aspirin is the effective ingredient in many patented medicines. Example Alka-Seltzer.
