Vintage Good Advice

As relevant now as it ever was, this is from the 1948 National Health Service Public Information Film, 'Coughs and Sneezes'.

This clip shows how to reduce the spread of disease from sneezing and coughing. Today, this is known as respiratory hygiene or 'cough etiquette' and is an important way to reduce the spread of diseases such as swine flu. For a modern version of this educational film, watch the creative video, Why Don't We Do It In Our Sleeves ? at http://www.coughsafe.com/media.html
