Fight Tuberculosis - Obey the Rules of Health
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative poster from the past, created between 1936 and 1941, that highlights the importance of personal health practices in the prevention of tuberculosis. The poster, a testament to the Progressive Era's emphasis on public health education, was produced during the height of the tuberculosis epidemic in the United States. The poster features a determined-looking figure of a man, dressed in work clothes, holding a shovel and looking resolutely towards the viewer. The background is a stark contrast of dark, ominous clouds, symbolizing the threat of tuberculosis, and bright, sunny rays of hope. The man's message is clear: by following the rules of health, we can fight back against this devastating disease. The rules of health are outlined in simple, easy-to-understand bullet points below the image. They include maintaining a balanced diet, getting enough rest, and increasing exposure to sunlight. These seemingly simple practices were crucial in the fight against tuberculosis, which was often spread through crowded living conditions and poor nutrition. The poster was produced during the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era, a time when the federal government invested heavily in public health education and infrastructure. The WPA's Federal Arts Project employed artists, writers, and other creative professionals to produce works that would inspire and inform the American public. This poster is a prime example of the powerful impact that art and design can have on public health education. Today, this poster serves as a reminder of the importance of personal health practices in preventing the spread of disease. While tuberculosis is no longer the public health threat it once was, the principles outlined in this poster - maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough rest, and increasing exposure to sunlight - remain essential for overall health and well-being.
