Methyl salicylate is the ester of salicylate in which the acidic carboxylate moiety is methylated but the phenolic hydroxyl is unchanged.

Don't give me all the credit, Darlene (Darling + Irene), I didn't invent the term, but that's what they call it, so I use it, just like I use a misnomer such as "homeopathic" to describe the pharmaceuticals used in homeopathy, so you'll know what I'm talking about
So how is it that if you just replace an acid in quinine with an alkyl you get quinine salicylate, the salicylate acid ester of quinine?.
Very good, Mrs. Bayer! You get an A+!
The point is quinine and aspirin have similar action. The charge of the diathesis triggered by salicylism still stands . .
