    <reviewbody>I've seen this a few times on TV, it's great to have stuff like this on the archive.

After some of semi-relevant slapstick, we are treated to my personal favourite public information film star spreading disease and pestilence to his fellow men via the most implausible-sounding sneezes ever recorded, "WHOOOF! WHOOF! WHOOF!".

Then, the stern and very 1940s narrator grabs the man and sits him down for a lesson in the correct employment of a handkerchief.

This man's dopey facial expression is priceless, and the film is well worth watching just for that and the WHOOF sound effect.

    <reviewbody>The hero of this film can't muster a sneeze when required, so the narrator's arm comes into the frame and shakes a substantial amount of pepper all over the poor fellow's head.  

NO, really, a LOT of pepper -- like three or four cups.</reviewbody>
