&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A great original doctor's Prohibition Liquor Prescription stub for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...For 30 Days... Ziss Bid, 1 qt, 1 pint! This stub was open to inspection by federal officers! Please see photo!
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 Ethel Hoffman, of Glen Falls, NY, by Dr. J. L. Byrnes, of Hudson Falls, NY, on July 27, 1933.
It was issued by the Treasury Department, when held to the light, INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL is partially watermarked. Printed in red ink is: "This stub must be clearly and legibly written, and must not be detached from the book".
The prescription stub measures 4 1/2" by 3" and is in excellent condition...a great ditty from the Prohibition!
This is a fantastic piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office, museum, bar or office!
I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
