You can't have everything... where would you put it?
~Steven Wright
Aspirin wasn't really invented, but discovered. Scientists in 1829 discovered that a compound called salicin in willow plants relieved pain. But they weren't really the first to understand that. Hippocrates, who lived sometime between 460 BC and 377 BC, wrote about the use of powder made from the bark and leaves of a willow tree to treat headaches, fever, and pain.
