A Modern Guide to Health

A Modern Guide to Health


Modern advice and old-fashioned values combine in this postwar animated health guide from the makers of Animal Farm

This 'modern' advice may be over 70 years old, but there's a lot of good common sense contained in this postwar health film. Roughly divided into sections on working men, children, young women and finally housewives, it's this segregation that dates the film. The lot of married women is painted as particularly arduous, with the only help offered being a half-hour break before bed.

Cartoon on general health problems; correct posture, value of exercise and
fresh air, importance of suitable clothes, how to avoid insomnia.
