About MePale yellow poster with black writing reading "FEVERISH COLDS AND 'FLU // The first signs of feverish colds and 'flu are weak limbs, a sore back, a headache and a high temperature. As soon as they appear, get to bed and stay there for at least 24 hours. Healthy adults should call the doctor only if the symptoms persist. Old folk and bronchial cases should call him. Cover your nose and mouth with a disposable paper hankie if you cough or sneeze. Avoid crowded places when 'flu is about, especially if you are old or bronchial."
