This book shows you how to make Penicillin. Antibiotics changed life and medicine as we know it. Before Alexander Fleming's 1928 discovery of penicillin, there were a few options for the treatment of bacterial infections. Before Penicillin they cut off the limb or cut out that infected pound of flesh. World War II saw major advances in medical technology including the mass production of penicillin. On March 15, 1942, U.S. made-penicillin was used to successfully treat the first patient for septicemia, blood poisoning.
