About this Item

Includes information that pneumonia may be spread by whooping cough, influenza or grippe and brought on by irritation from gases, dust and chemical fumes, operations performed with chloroform, overwork, lack of sleep and exercise, breathing bad air, etc. Illustrated bifolium (7.75" by 5.5") printed in black and blue. Illustration of urban setting in a snow storm on front. The Welfare Division of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company published dozens of public health booklets, offering advice on subjects ranging from healthy eating to the importance of vaccinating children against common diseases.
