Preventing Disease, 1940

This 1940 Encyclopaedia Britannica film outlines community and personal strategies to curb disease spread. In black-and-white with sound, it showcases safe water and milk systems, sewage disposal, and anti-fly campaigns, alongside individual tactics—avoiding the sick, vaccinating, seeking prompt medical care, and boosting resistance via nutrition, exercise, and rest. A clear, earnest primer, it mirrors pre-WWII health priorities, blending civic duty with personal responsibility in a science-driven call to action.
