Influenza frequently complicated with pneumonia is prevalent at this time throughout America

Photograph of poster relating to the epidemic of influenza in Chicago occurring during the fall of 1918. Part of the text reads, "Influenza frequently complicated with pneumonia is prevalent at this time throughout America. This theatre is co-operating with the department of health. You must do the same. If you have a cold and are coughing and sneezing, do not entire this theatre. Go home and go to bed until you are well. Coughing, sneezing, or spitting will not be permitted in the theatre. in case you must cough or sneeze, do so in your own hand-kerchief, and if the coughing or sneezing persists leave the theatre at once. This theatre has agreed to cooperate with the Department of Health in disseminating the truth about Influenza, and thus serve a great educational purpose. Help us to keep Chicago the healthiest city in the world. John Dill Robertson, Commissioner of Health.
