Industrial Health Poster: Tuberculosis
Sign warning International Harvester factory workers about tuberculosis. The sign reads: "Tuberculosis; There are hundreds of cases of tuberculosis in Chicago. It is caused by a germ that flies in the air. We breathe it into the lungs. Thousands die every year with it. It is catching. It is spread by spitting on the floor. It Can Be Cured. If you have a cough, If you have lost weight, If you have lost your pep, If you have spit blood, If you live where people have had coughs for a long time; Ask the Works Doctor to examine you." |
