"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, May 14, 1919"

'"
A photograph of the interior of a hospital ward full of patients,
with the following: "Interior of a ward in the Bakerdilly Hospital,
exclusively for patients who stepped off the moving staircase with the
wrong foot."
TRAINS.
A picture of a stately building standing in its own grounds with the
description: "The N.S.E. & W. Railway Orphanage for children whose
parents crossed the line by the track instead of the footbridge."
A picture of a decapitated body with the poignant comment:--
"Be warned by the ending
Of Ferdinand Goschen
Who leaned out of window
While the train was in motion."
And perhaps a few general hints such as:--
(1) In stepping off an omnibus always alight feet first.
(2) In crossing crowded thoroughfares, proceed through the traffic,
not under it.
(3) Before stepping from the pavement make quite sure that there is a
road there, etc., etc.
Imagination, colour--that's all that's wanted, and if this propaganda
is carried far enough the safety of the public will be assured, for
either they really will try not to be killed while travelling or
walking in the streets, or they will stay indoors altogether.
