Printed Ephemera — 1918-1940
Syphilis Produces Miscarriage, Still Birth, and Infant Death.
The National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases commissioned this poster.

In its propaganda material the Council equated sexual morality with national efficiency.
The poster was designed and produced by Benson's London advertising agency.
