Enhancing Daily Life

In 16th Century Italy did not have a high standard of health.

Diseases, food problems and lack of sanitation were the top things that created problems for the health of the population.

Many people used herbs and plants remedies for treatment

Advertising

The drug will be produced in a three room factory

First room:

-Incubation for penicillin bacteria

Second room:

-Preparation of chemicals added to penicillin bacteria

Third room:

-Harvesting of liquid medicine left after the chemicals incubate with bacteria for seven days

Most diseases did not have a medical cure and were normally treated with herbs and plants.

That would cost more time for patients to relieve the diseases and probably could not recover completely . The worst was to get sequelae.

Having penicillin will greatly enhance the daily lives as it can cure many of the diseases and infections quickly and efficiently.

Proposal: We place advertisement

Medication would be distributed in the marketplaces in the larger cities of Italy and would be sold in the Levant trade cities surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.

Advertising

We can distribute our medication to doctors and let them treat others. Free to every child under 12 to decrease the child mortality rate.
