Hints for the busy housewife ; 8th edition : Health & Cleanliness Council : London : 1935
"Where there's dirt, there's danger" was the motto of the Helath & Cleanliness Council. This booklet, price 3d., is full of helpful hints for the alreeady busy housewife on how to keep the hosue clean and disease at bay. I suspect we look at such a booklet now in an 'old-fashioned' way but at the time, 1935, in industrial or agricultural areas keeping a home clean was often a struggle and with doctor's bills many families avoided having common ailments and illnesses treated professionally.
