Halloween Prohibition Prescription Whiskey Doctor Pharmacy Bar California Yates1930

A great original Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Zss qid (2 ounces 4 times daily)! This prescription was filled on Halloween in 1930! Please see photos!

From the days of Al Capone, flappers and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!

The whiskey was prescribed for Miss E. Yates, by Dr. G. E. Chappin, on October 30, 1930, and was filled on Halloween, October 31, 1931 by Pharmacist, Chas. E. Bowe, of Augustus Affleck\'s Drug Store, in Sacramento, CA.

It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on, beautiful pink paper. In the center is the old Treasury Seal with the Latin inscription, \"Thesaur. Amer. Septent. Sigil.\". When you hold this prescription up to the light, PROHIBITION is watermarked, as with the metal strips that are used in U.S. bills today, the graphics are GREAT!

This was the pharmacist\'s duplicate copy, printed on the back are the \"Instructions\", one of which is: \"This duplicate prescription must be retained by the druggist as permanent record, open to inspection by Federal Officers\", the top copy was sent to the government.

The prescription measures 5 1/2\" x 4 1/2\", has a spindle hole, one fold and light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great Halloween whiskey prescription!

This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, museum, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions and thank you for your interest! :)
