Bệnh kiết lỵ (Dysentery)

A two-colour health poster headed 'Dysentery' shows a thatched house with a latrine over a stream, a map of Vietnam in orange and three drawn sufferers with labels for abdominal pain, tiredness and diarrhoea with mucus and blood. It says the disease is common where sanitation is lacking and that 73,194 cases were reported in Vietnam in 1962. This sheet has no clear persuasion technique beyond everyday village figures used to carry a public-health message.
