Tylenol [acetaminophen] was discovered by David W. Young, a graduate of Covington Latin School and the University of Kentucky, while working on chemical patents at Standard Oil of Ohio in Cleveland, Ohio. - Wikipedia When acetaminophen was discovered, it was thought to be useless. Therefore, the patent went with no problem to David Young himself [who was an opportunistic patent specialist, not a pharmaceutical scientist -- ed.] rather than to the University employer. Sucks for them. Young later discovered its use and sold the patent to Johnson & Johnson, who marketed the drug as Tylenol in 1955, first to children, then to the widespread marketplace. - www.blogaholics.ca I'm not sure if this guy was ever awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but he should have been. Tylenol has gotten me through many a migraine over the years, not to mention hang-overs, period cramps, colds, various bodily aches and pains and, currently, the bird flu (OK -- maybe it's not bird flu I've got, but it feels like it). I used to be an aspirin devotee, but it was too harsh on my stomach and made me too antsy. Tylenol relaxes you and takes the edge off; it's a smooth painkiller, nothing too drastic; sometimes you can still feel the pain under the drug glow, but it doesn't seem to matter any more. And when the pain is too much, and you decide to take just one more caplet (it can't possibly hurt you, it's only Tylenol), then you fall into that blessed Tylenol swoon otherwise known as passing out, and your pain is no more -- oh, those final glorious seconds of capitulation when you finally stop struggling against the black bliss and just give into its warm and fuzzy embrace, eyes closing as you let go and let Tylenol work its wonder... No, it's not a miracle drug (there are no such things; miracles don't require physical substances to effect them), and yes, I have had instances when I have OD'd on Tylenol by taking too many over too long a period of time (and trust me, it wasn't pretty), but overall, all in all, through it all, Tylenol has been the painkiller of choice for me. And no-one has paid me to say that. God bless David W. Young! - Charlotte Creamer
