HELP!HELP!
Aspirin is used to treat mild to moderate pain, and also to reduce fever or inflammation. It is sometimes used to treat or prevent heart attacks, strokes, and angina. Aspirin should be used for cardiovascular conditions only under the supervision of a doctor. Americans this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. It is the most popular medicines in the world today. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. For millions of people sufferinged from arthrities, it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, if relatively mild, are largely unrecognized between 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 the leaves and tree bark which today is known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great number of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led in to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces down fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Specifically, aspirin seems to slow down the formation of the acids involved in pain and the complex chemical reactions that cause fever. The chemistry of these acids is not fully understood, and the slowing effect of aspirin is well known.

Hi, in addition to Victor's corrections (not noted here), I found just a couple of others:
