问题 Although he did not know much ahout how headaches work, Hippocrates was the first doctor to find a way to treat them.Before 400 B.C., Hippocrates discovered that the bark from willow trees was useful in treating pain.He made a white powder from the tree’s bark and gave it to his patients.Hippocrates did not know it.But he was actually prescribing a natural chemical in willow bark called salicin.When a person eats salicin, the chemical is changed inside her or his body into salicylic acid.It turns out that salicylic acid is good for stopping pain, including headache, but it is bad for a person’ s stomach.In the 1800s, a chemist in Germany changed the acid’ s form a little to make it easier for people to take.This new form of the chemical was called acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin today.
          Hippocrates was the first doctor to change organic material into a powder and give it to his patients.But it was not until the 1800s that this natural drug was altered and became known as ________.
