第三篇 The World’s Best-Selling Medicine
Since ancient times， people all over the world have used willow to stoppain. The willow tree contains salicylic acid (水杨酸）. This stops pain，butthere is one problem. Salicylic acid also hurts the stomach. In 1853，aFrench scientist made a mixture from willow that did not hurtthe stomach. However, his mixture was difficult to make, and he did not try to produceor sell it.
In 1897，in Germany Felix Hoffmann also made a mixturewith salicylic acid. He tried it himself first it to hisfather because his father was old and in a lot of pain. His father’s, pain wentaway，and the mixture did not hurt his stomach.
Hoffmann worked forBayer，a German company. He showed his new drug to hismanager，who tested the drug and found that itworked well. Bayer decided to make the drug. They called it aspirin and putthe Bayer name on every pill.
Aspirin was an immediate success. Almosteveryone has pain of some kind, so aspirin answered a true need. Aspirin was cheap, easy totake, and effective. It also lowered fevers. Aspirin was a wonder drug.
At first，Bayersold the drug through doctors, who then sold it to their patients. In 1915, the company started to sellaspirin in drugstores. In the United States，Bayer had a pate+ (专利权）on the drug. Other companiescould make similar products and sell them in other countries，butonly Bayer could make and sell aspirin in the UnitedStates. In time， Bayer could no longer own the nameaspirin in the United States. Other companies could make it there，too. However, Bayer aspirin was the most wellknown, and for many years, it was the market leader.
the 1950s，newpainkillers were on the market. Aspirin was no longer the only way to treatpain and reduce fever. Bayer and other companies looked for other drugs tomake. However in the 1970s they got a surprise. Doctors noticed that patientswho were taking aspirin had fewer heart attacks than other people.

Wayne Beno
Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman. Fishing, boating，hunting, walking through the woods with his three dogs, Wayne loved and did it all. Then life changed dramatically. Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森氏病）
“For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day, had horrible side effects, and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors (颜抖）.I only went out during peak times, when I was looking and feeling my best. But that wasnl often and I really couldrTt do much of anything. I felt like the life I loved was over，，，said Wayne.
Then Wayne’s doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation (刺激)(DBS). DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and more. It is not a cure, but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases，with relatively low risk to the patient.
In addition to his doctor’s recommendation, Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert the Medical College of Wisconsin. His friend’s experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz, Wisconsin could be well worth the effort.
And was it ever.
“It was the best thing I ever did. I，m down to zero pills a day and I don’t shake at all，，， reports Wayne. “Before the surgery, I felt bad every single day. Now I feel like my old self. I，m back to business as usual, which for me means fishing, fishing, and more fishing , every day of the year. Things just couldn’t be any better!”
