Mid-century school health poster, National Tuberculosis Association, Cover Your Coughs and Sneezes
Original 1956 public health campaign poster carries the important message: “Be fair, COVER your coughs and sneezes.” Distributed by the National Tuberculosis Association, it was part of a nationwide effort to promote better hygiene and prevent the spread of illness.
Printed on the poster is the note: “This poster is distributed by your tuberculosis association in the interest of better health for all children. It is made possible by your purchase of Christmas Seals.” A powerful reminder of both the public health challenges of the time and the grassroots fundraising that supported education and awareness.
