EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster, dated 1938, emphasizes the importance of trusted and proven methods in the fight against cancer. The image features a determined and hopeful figure holding up three shields, symbolizing the "safe weapons" against cancer: surgery, x-rays, and radium. The bold, red text urges viewers to "not trust your life to other methods," reinforcing the message of the importance of these specific treatments. The poster's design is reminiscent of the Progressive Era and the WPA (Works Progress Administration) era, with its bold typography and striking use of color. The image of the shields and the figure's determined expression convey a sense of protection and security, while the use of the word "weapons" emphasizes the battle-like nature of the fight against cancer. At a time when cancer was still a largely misunderstood and feared disease, this poster served an important role in educating the public about the most effective treatments and building trust in the medical community. The poster's clear and concise message, combined with its striking design, would have made it an effective tool for raising awareness and promoting the importance of early detection and proper treatment. Today, this poster serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made in the fight against cancer, and the continued importance of trusting in proven medical treatments. The image of the shields and the call to action to "not trust your life to other methods" remains a powerful reminder of the importance of taking an active role in one's health and trusting in the expertise of medical professionals.
