Jul. 07, 1961 - Britain's new drug triumph: British doctors have discovered a new wonder drug said to be the biggest medical triumph since penicillin. Exhaustive tests have proven that it is the scourge of a whole army of germs. Taken in the form of a small bullet shaped red and white pill, it knocks out the infection responsible for peritonitis, speeds the healing of wounds, protects against the major complications of influenza and strikes against food poisoning. Named Penbritin it has been discovered at the laboratories of the Beecham group at Brickham Park. Photo shows two bacteriologists testing potential penicillins against harmful bacteria at the Beecham lab today
