Vitamin pillar contains pictures of yeast, vegetables, fruits, whole-grained cereals, milk and meat.

Absence of these foods cause beriberi, a disease causing severe pain in the calves of the victim's legs which often results in death. Vitamin pillar contains pictures of citrus and other fruits and vegetables. A lack of this food causes scurvey, a disease causing sore mouth, gum bleeding, and swelling of joints accompanied by pain. The word, scurvy, appears on the poster but the explanation does not. An attempt is made to create Interest which will result in the children looking up these words.

Vitamin pillar contains pictures of sunshine and codliver oil. The lack of thlg vitamin causes rickets, softening of the bones.
