Oh my. Being ill in 1938: clearly a bad idea. UPDATE - Non Plaudite reblogged with an interesting comment: “I’m not sure this is a shot of anyone who is ill. I think it is a shot of a demonstration of gas masks—likely from the U.K. That bladder on the side was to pump filtered air into the child’s ‘mask.’ Infants were issued units that completely encased them. I could be wrong—this is purely my guess.” Hadn’t even considered this!  Anyone else want to weigh in?
