D is for DANGER DAYS!

From the Children's Health Department!  (of Ralston Purina Co., 1927)

Just the first paragraph is a gem:
Inside that room there are whispers -- tiptoes -- tear-stained cheeks.  ... Danger Days have come.

This must be a result of the influenza epidemic of 1918.

I wonder what the "Magic Blackboard" was, or if the 32-page brochure is around...

Yeah, but I'm allergic to penicillin! Got screamer earaches as a kid (both parents were smokers) until my tonsils came out, but before that they pumped me full of the stuff. Blue cheese? Thank you, no.
