Physical description

1 print : lithograph, printed in colours ; sheet 76 x 50.1 cm

Lettering

Six health hints. Wash all over if possible before going to the shelter. Change all underclothes before going to the shelter - they need airing after daytime wear. Germs of many diseases enter through the mouth - try always to wash your hands before you handle food. Remove all bedding from shelter frequently for cleaning and airing. Keep the ventilators open - you must have fresh air from outside. Don't leave litter about - even crumbs encourage vermin and flies, both carriers of disease. Keep fighting fit. Bears number (after printer's name) : 51-842 Bears device of the Ministry of Health, the Central Council for Health Education
