For centuries, people used willow bark to relieve pain and treat fevers. However, it wasn\u2019t until the late 1800s that scientists developed a similar active ingredient to that found in willow bark, creating the essential drug that\u2019s now part of everyday life: aspirin. By the latter half of the 20th century, scientists had begun examining aspirin for benefits beyond pain relief and fever reduction. The Story of Aspirin Revisited expands on the content of a 1959 NLM exhibition about the same topic. The exhibit includes a selection of health information resources and an online gallery of fully digitized items from the historical collections of the NLM, which are also available in their entirety in NLM Digital Collections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See this traveling exhibition on display now through September 27<sup>th<\/sup>: <br>Level 6 McGoogan Library Wittson Hall &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online exhibit and digital gallery <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlm.nih.gov\/exhibition\/the-story-of-aspirin\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"found here., opens in a new window\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">found here.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/voicedwhispering.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"yXN t \"><!-- yXN t  --><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTake Two and Call Me in the Morning: The Story of Aspirin Revisited\u201d, produced by The National Library of Medicine (NLM) and guest curated by Anne Rothfeld, PHD (NLM).&nbsp; The traveling banner exhibition and companion website examine how modern organic chemistry and technology isolated, then synthesized, nature\u2019s properties into a medication now common worldwide.
