Prof. Florey was so impressed that
he came to this country to urge

and aided by the Committee on
Medical Research of the Office of
Scientific Research and Develop
ment, by the Northern Regional
Laboratory Of the Agriculture De-

Council.
Late In 1941, several American
drug companies started research de-
signed to effect large-scale produc-

came available, studies on the
curative value of the drug were in
stituted in the selected civilian
