When I saw someone share this cartoon from the 1930s online, my first reflex was that it was a fake (Was "misinformation" really a word that people used in the 1930s?) But according to fact-checkers on Snopes, it is genuine — and a remarkably prescient warning to our present day.

Source of the cartoon: “Health in Pictures”, 1930, published by the American Public Health Association.
