Know your score: get a physical check-up at least once a year
Public-health poster: a man in shirt and tie, drawn in rust-red line, looks up at a card marked 'O.K.' in his hand, against a black brush shape with the headline 'Know your score' and 'get a physical check-up at least once a year'. A boxed insert, 'Bill gets the works', points to a leaflet. The technique is faint; the card shows a reassuring result.
