Any resident chemists here at TM? |
Aspirin=Acetasalasylic Acid. Acid being the key word. I doubt if I spelled the first word correctly. The Acid will attack the silver and just about anything else but gold.
Put an aspirin on the tip of your tongue and see if you can resist the burning. Most people can't and a trumpet player should not do this for but a few seconds in order to get the point.
