I keep meaning to try it but despite having bought soluable asprin a
couple of times I keep forgeting.
Well I came across this article today.

I must remember to try it.


I don't think aspirin is really soluble, though: that's why they now
label it "dispersible" instead. I see from the article that she used
dimethyl sulfoxide, which I'd never heard of, as a solvent: it's much
harder to get stuff here than in the US, but somebody will know if it's
OK and obtainable...
