怎样防治疟疾 (How to Prevent and Treat Malaria), Health Education Institute of Liaoning Province, by Zhou Shifan (周世范), December 1964

This anti-malaria poster features modern and traditional methods mosquito control, emphasizing prevention and timely treatment. Timely treatment includes an explanation of malaria and a chart of instruction for taking medicine. To control the spread of mosquitoes, the poster shows women spraying a room with insecticides and others destroying mosquito breeding ground.

The images have the aesthetic features of Chinese New Year Pictures (年画, nian hua) and paper-cutting (剪纸, jian zhi), two popular media of Chinese folk art. Also, the poster's pinyin title uses the local dialect "yao ji" instead of standard Chinese "nue ji" for malaria to address local communities.
