Seems like it was used during the Spanish Flu. But overuse led to deaths.

Overuse is one way to put it, what I read was Aspirin was relatively brand new in 1918 and it does reduce fever. So they were administering “handfuls”. That killed a lot of people.

What I’ve noticed generally in recent years is Aspirin doesn’t seem to be mentioned at all, only Tylenol or Ibuprofin. Not sure why, exacfly.
