Description
This poster juxtaposes an image of Hirohito and an silhouette of a young woman, warning that they are both threats to the war effort. It also uses statistics to convey the significant cost of venereal disease.
"Men of the armed forces...guard against Venereal Disease! The present annual cost of care for the syphilitic insane and blind is more than $41,000,000 -- It's patriotic to keep well!"
