Canning evolved from battlefield necessity to high-

Medical history is full of odd cures—like bloodletting, which still helps in rare cases. Germs were once doubted until a doctor spotted bacteria between his teeth. Fleming later discovered antibiotics by accident. But now, 'superbugs' threaten this miracle cure.
