  1. John Dunning _ On the Air: The Encyclopedia

    The purpose of The Doctor Fights was twofold: to honor the nation's 180,000 doctors, 60,000 of whom were in the theaters of battle, and to acquaint the public with the new miracle drug, penicillin. The sponsor, Schenley Laboratories, was one of 22 companies charged with making penicillin, and often the stories described wondrous cures effected with its use by doctors in distant and primitive outposts. Many listeners at that time had never heard of the drug.
