Nope. I do know that the stuff in stores is not the natural stuff it used to be made from.Willow bark used to be powdered and then given as a pain relief. The active ingredient of Aspirin was first discovered from the bark of the willow tree in 1763 by Edward Stone of Wadham College, Oxford University. He had discovered salicylic acid, the active metabolite of aspirin. Aspirin was first synthesized by Felix Hoffmann, a chemist with the German company Bayer in 1897.Any good Herbalist worth his or her salt knows this.

And even then, maybe not. Some of us have side effects from aspirin.

Oddly, there is an Arada, CO as well as an Arvada, CO. I’ll bet there are mail problems over that.

Yep, the Plugger Guy dropped the “V” . . . I realized it as soon as I saw it in the paper this morning. It is indeed Arvada. My apologies!
