Các bệnh do phân (The Spread of Diseases)
A health-education sheet (code SP-998) titled 'Diseases from faeces' shows by line drawing how disease spreads: a squatting figure, an unsanitary latrine over water, flies on a plate of food, and a person drinking from an unsafe water source or container. Its labels name the stages without giving a remedy or figures. The persuasion is light: a chain of cause and effect warns of the danger, and it is the closest honest technique rather than a clear fit.
