scientists from Oxford University finally showed the potential of penicillin as a powerful killer
of bacteria. Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to produce any useful quantities of the

to associate the featured product with the pleasurable response to the advertisement, and he
will be inclined to buy the product because of this association.
