More than you wanted to know

Mon., September 9, 1935 - Clear and sunshiny.  My left jaw is swelling up.  The wisdom tooth is acting up again.
Tues., September 10, 1935 - Put in a bad nite with my jaw.  My face is swollen pretty big today.  Howard stopped at the school house tonite while he was dragging the road.  We have all day Friday off for the Fair.
Wed., September 11, 1935 - Jaw just as big and sore as yesterday.  I can't enjoy eating anything.  By night my face was a little better.  Mr. Goodling got some aspirins tonite for me.

Well, here's some things you may not have known about aspirin.  From wikipedia:

    Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a medication used to treat pain, fever, or inflammation.  It, in the form of leaves from the willow tree, has been used for its health effects for at least 2,400 years.  In 1853, chemist Charles Frédéric Gerhardt treated sodium salicylate with acetyl chloride to produce acetylsalicylic acid for the first time.  In the second half of the nineteenth century, other chemists established the chemical structure and came up with more efficient methods to make it.  In 1897, scientists at Bayer began studying acetylsalicylic acid as a less-irritating replacement for common salicylate medicines.  By 1899, Bayer had named the drug Aspirin and was selling it around the world.  The word Aspirin was Bayer's brand name; however, their rights to the trademark were lost or sold in many countries.  Aspirin's popularity grew over the first half of the twentieth century leading to competition between many brands and formulations.

     Aspirin is one of the most widely used medications globally with an estimated 40,000 tonnes (50 to 120 billion pills) being consumed each year.  It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.  Aspirin is available as a generic medication. The wholesale cost in the developing world as of 2014 is $0.002 to $0.025 per dose.  As of 2015 the cost for a typical month of medication in the United States is less than $25.
