The advantage of penicillin is that it can kill certain types of bacteria without also killing human cells. It is easy to find toxic substances that kill every kind of cell, but much more difficult to find substances that kill only the cells that we want to kill while leaving our own cells unharmed. Of course, penicillin is not as useful as it used to be, since bacteria have evolved resistant strains.
