:: No.  Eating an Apple helps you by giving your body some of the chemical components that constitute the apple.  Components which also happen to help you fight off viruses and the like.  The same is true for the aspirin.  Both are well defined chemical processes that involve no increase or decrease in the amount of matter or energy in the system.  Healing (such as Jesus mending the ear of the soldier), would involve the rapid solidification of matter that was not there before (ie. the new ear).  This is a clear violation of the second law of thermodynamics.  The point is,if you're going to use miracles or signs to disprove a physical theory, you have to apply the argument to universally.  But you don't because attacking the Second Law of Thermodynamics would knock the crutch of misinterpreted Newtonian Physics you have been leaning on out from underneath you.
