Nowadays, after centuries, after triumphal experiences, after failures, and successes again, it still surprises the effectiveness and advantages of the salicylins´ therapeutic properties, or better, of their synthetic derivates: firstly, the salicylic acid and the acetyl salicylic acid; it is still more surprising the variety of medical pathologies against which these drugs can be successfully used, even though some noxious effects are known. This work is aimed to briefly offer a vision of the evolution of the knowledge, mainly therapeutic and historical, of the acetyl salicylic acid.
