In the mid-20th century, huge strides were made in solving a variety of devastating diseases - as well as seeing a boom in educational materials to help prevent the spread of both common and life threatening diseases among the population.

This review is from: Historic Diseases & Infection Educational Film Collection on DVD - Polio, Influenze, VD, TB, Scarlet Fever, Immunization History, Ulcers and More (DVD)

I purchased this video to show my class on diseases and history. The video is so out of date I didn't even finish watching it myself, let alone show it to my class. If I know more than the video does, it doesn't help me.
