How was aspirin invented?

Aspirin, a well-known common drug, was invented at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century. The invention of this white tablet has brought great benefits to human health and can be regarded as the beginning of the invention of the century. During the period of 100, people all over the world took about 100 billion tablets to treat headache and fever, and in recent years, they have shown their talents in treating rheumatism. The development of science is continuous, and the cultivation and maturity of inventions are gradually shining in the process of growth. The century-old history of aspirin can be said to be a brilliant chapter in the history of successful inventions in the 20th century. There is also a bitter and touching story about the invention of aspirin, which tells the world that truth must overcome evil and history respects science.

Aspirin has a history of 100 years and was first produced by Bayer Company in Germany. According to the records in the general literature, it is said that the inventor of aspirin is Felix Hoffman.

However, Walter Snead, an academically rigorous British medical historian, believes that Felix Hoffman was not the only inventor of aspirin according to the literature. In this invention, there is also a Jewish chemist Artur Eichengreen, who played a very important role.

1934 felix hoffman claimed that he invented aspirin himself. At that time, Germany was in the dark period of Nazi rule, and the persecution of Jews intensified. In this case, the arrogant Nazi rulers are even more reluctant to admit the fact that the inventor of aspirin is Jewish. So, they put the inventor's laurel on felix hoffman's head and gilded their own "Great Germanic National Superiority Theory".

In order not to let Artur eichengreen tell the truth, they forbade him to talk and threatened him that Bayer would not hire him again once he told the truth. Later, the German Nazis finally put Artu eichengreen in a concentration camp. After the end of World War II, around 1949, Artur Eichengreen raised this question again, but he died a few days after he raised it, and no one cared about it ever since.

After some twists and turns and efforts, the British medical historian Walter Snead got the permission of Bayer Company, consulted all the files of Bayer Company's laboratory, and finally restored the true colors of the invention history with conclusive facts. He pointed out: Artur eichengreen played an important role in the invention of aspirin. In fact, in 1897, felix hoffman did synthesize the main substance of aspirin for the first time. But he succeeded under the guidance of his boss, the famous chemist Artur Eichengreen, and completely adopted the technical route proposed by eichengreen. The serious medical historian pointed out: "I hope that people who have made practical contributions to the invention of aspirin should be recognized."

Facts speak louder than words, and history advocates justice. People all over the world, while enjoying the fruits of invention, also cherish the memory of this great Jewish chemist-Artur eichengreen!
