Shtrauss Health Center History-

On the eastern side of Shtrauss Street in Jerusalem, is the building that gave the street its name, the Shtrauss Health Center.

The building, designed by the architect Benjamin Chaikin, was inaugurated in 1929 by the Hadassah Zionist Organization at the initiative of Henrietta Sold and with the contribution of Natan Strauss in order to serve as a building for clinics, dental clinics, a center for medical consultation and training, hygiene and nutrition.

Its full name, engraved above its entrance, is “The Natan and Lina Strauss Health Center for Children of All Races and Religions.” Before the establishment of the health center, a large steam-powered flour mill was located on this lot, established by Shlomo HaCohen Milner. The mill caught fire shortly before the health center was built on the site.

Today (2012) the building belongs to Hadassah Hospital and is used for outpatient clinics and offices.

The song on the poster-
Every vegetable, every fruit, even if it looks fresh, has thousands of germs hidden in it, do not eat it before soaking it for half an hour in a disinfecting solution of potassium permanganate 1:1000
