Many people in the U.S. regain trust in biomedical care after the mass production of antibiotics.
Date: 1940s
National interest turns again towards "allopathic" medicine.
After Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1928, Daniel Bovet identified sulfanilamide as the active agent in Prontosil, an antibiotic that combats streptococcal infections.
The mass production of antibiotics begins in the 1940s. Soon, antibiotics will be known as the new "wonder drugs."
