Abstract
I have no other motives for publishing this valuable specific than that it may have a fair and full trial in all its variety of circumstances and situations, and that the world may reap the benefits accruing from it.In 1763 the Reverend Edward Stone of Chipping Norton submitted a brief letter to the Royal Society in which he described his discovery of the benefit of willow bark for the treatment of ague. His wish, quoted above, is still being fulfilled in new ways. True, the analgesic property of willow bark, which contains salicylates, was known by Hippocrates as well . . .Keywords
