Interesting public health posters from the 1920s

I haven't got the words. This hygiene poster is an image from the Social Welfare History Archives, stored on the University of Minnesota server. Some of these are funny, others disturbing:

Booby trap
She may be a bag of trouble
Inherited Syphillis
Joe cared for his lathe so tenderly...

..expolore, and you'll find many others. Post your favorite!

They truly were the "greatest generation".

From the rest of the series, it looks like "pro" means "prophilaxis" - looks like they encouraged a routine shot of penicillin after every visit with random hussies.

How quaint. I notice the important things to do to prvent jacking off are group activities. Sports. Work. No solitary reading allowed, apparently.

So, is that how the circle jerk was invented?
