    Pocket sized printed paper slip stating spitting laws and that spitting spreads disease.
    (Indiana State Board of Health, 1905-04)
    SPITTING ON THE FLOOR IS FORBIDDEN. It is nasty and contrary to law. All diseases of the lungs and air passages, also certain other diseases, are spread by dried spit. Over 12,000 people die annually in Indiana from "spit diseases" caught from spitters. Not less than 200,000 cases of sickness are caused thereby in Indiana annually. Spitting on the flors and sidewalks must stop. Ladies do not spit. Gentlemen will not spit. Indiana State Board of Health.
