What is this short story? When I was in the seventh grade (in 1990), my class read a story about mice. I can only recall a few details...
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary
It was wrote about the right time (first published in 1965) however the story differs from your memory.

Ralph S. Mouse does go in search of aspirin, but it's for the young boy who owns him. It's not technically listed as a short story. It's a fiction novel for young kids, so it is fairly short (176 pages with large print).
To see if this book matches the story you remember, you can preview it on Google Books - http://books.google.com/books?id=020vfe93e3YC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_navlinks_s#v=onepage&q=&f=false

I appreciate everyone's responses. I took the advice here and bought NIMH and The Mouse and the Motorcycle. I am a few chapters into NIMH and am not certain this is it. I glanced through The Mouse and the Motorcycle, which I will read next, but I'm not sure that is it, either. The mice in the story that I read were not so anthropomorphic as these mice. Either way, I look forward to reading these books. I am also looking online for the original text book from that time.
