This one I looked up on the internet. It was identified in the 20's but not in a usable form. They proved it worked, in the 30's. Early forms were used during WWII but it only last 3-4 hours in the body. It wasn't until the early 50's that it reached the form that lasted long enough in the body to be really helpful. So...our man born in 1948 would have been ahead of the widespread usage of penicillin, but ahead of the discovery. I checked on the polio, also, and it came out in 1955. I remember that...and remember getting poked in the arm. Later they had the oral version that was just swallowed.
