In 1947, Mrs. Webb bought eight acres of land near the estate to create...
...Lancet by three research groups go far to ex plain another mystery of penicillin -why it is so much less likely to cause severe reactions when taken by mouth than when injected. It seems that much of the protein impurity is destroyed - digested, in effect - in the alimentary tract before it can get into the bloodstream...
