Germ-carrying flies bring disease direct to your home
from the privy and outhouse. They wipe their germ
laden feet on your food, bathe in the baby’s milk
and leave many forms of sickness—then come the
doctor’s bills—and you know what that means,
Flies carry on their feet filth and the germs of typhoid fever, malaria, ;
consumption—perhaps infantile paralysis and other dread diseases.,
