  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    1915 In response to an Australian government initiative to develop an alternative to Aspirin[1] (produced by Bayer but not patented in Australia), Melbourne pharmacist George Nicholas and an industrial experimenter, Henry Woolf Smith, produced Aspro [2]. Initially, the tablet was called Nicholas Aspirin; later the product name was changed to Aspro formed from the last two letters of the name 'Nicholas', and the first three of the word 'Product'. Improvements were made in tablet manufacturing, especially using the Sanitape packaging press, invented to disperse seeds for farmers, in marketing, and in the drying of the starch ingredient which allowed the tablets to break up more easily when swallowed.
