Curare: Used for poison darts. Penicillin: "Green" mold. Digitalis: Purple Fox Glove plant. Aspirin: By-product of coal tarmacadam. Salicin (from the bark of willow trees) is a precurser of aspirin, prearranged to reduce restlessness and pain for centuries. Atropine: From belladonna plant, used for centuries by women to dilate their eyes. (Bella Donna = Beautiful Woman).
How almost Artemisinine, digitalis, and tincture of belladona (atropine)?
I can only have a sneaking suspicion that of two: Aspirin and Digoxin.
