Alexander fleming and the discovery of penicillin Alexander Fleming discovered the wonder drug penicillin by accident. The British bacteriologist Sir Alexander Fleming was born August 6, 1881. During his years of research on antibiotics, he discovered penicillin. Born in Lochfield, Scotland, this son of a Scottish farmer was reared on a big farm. When his father died, Alexander (or, Alec) took over the running of the farm. Tom Fleming, one of Alexander’s brothers, left home to study medicine and opened his own practice in London. Sometime after that, four of the Fleming brothers and one sister all lived together in London. Alec went to London when he was only 14 years old and after finishing school, he worked at a shipping firm. By 1900, the Boer War had begun between the United Kingdom and its colonies in southern Africa. Alec and two of his brothers joined a Scottish regiment. When Alec's uncle died, he left Alec and each of his siblings 250 pounds, and Tom Fleming encouraged Alec to study medicine and join him in his practice. After reaching top scores on the examinations, Alec had the freedom to choose which medical school he wanted to attend. He chose St. Mary’s in London and decided on the study of bacteriology. After graduating with merit in 1906, he studied in London under Sir Almroth Wright, a pioneer in vaccine therapy. By 1909, Paul Ehrlich, a German chemist and physician, had unearthed a treatment for syphilis from a chemical called salvarsan. Very few physicians were allowed to even administer this special treatment, but Dr. Alec Fleming was chosen as one of them, and in no time his practice doubled with patients.

Sign up now for the subscriber materials! Sir Alexander Fleming By Mary L. Bushong From his beginnings on a sheep farm in a remote part of Scotland, Alec Fleming went on to become a celebrated doctor and researcher in London, England. It was through his efforts that millions of lives were eventually saved. Alexander Fleming was born in Scotland on August 6, 1881. The second youngest of eight children, he and his siblings enjoyed roaming the countryside around their farm as they grew up. Their quiet lives were broken up when Alec was about 14. That was when his father died. His eldest brother took over the family farm. Another brother, Tom, was a doctor and was establishing a new practice in London. He was soon joined by five of his siblings, including Alec. After finishing school, Alec tried working at a shipping company, but he did not like it. In 1900, when the Boer War broke out, he and two brothers joined a Scottish regiment, but they never made it to the Transvaal. Alec received a small inheritance from an uncle and decided he wanted to go to medical school. He got the highest score on his examinations and the choice of any of the medical schools.

The nice Churchill-Fleming Story seems to be Complete Fiction His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, whiletrying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life." "No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel. "Is that your son?" the nobleman asked. "Yes," the farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, he graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
