This vintage poster delivers a cautionary health message about the dangers of appendicitis, urging readers to seek medical attention rather than using laxatives. Set against the backdrop of mid-20th century America, the illustration captures a worried man in a striped robe, anxiously on the phone with a doctor. The inclusion of a lit lamp and vintage telephone enhances the nostalgic feel. Rendered in a limited color palette of red, black, and white, the hand-drawn style aligns with public health campaigns of that era. The poster’s urgent tone is designed to promote awareness and action.
