Prohibition Prescription Vintage '29 Whisky Pharmacy Bar Doctor Nurse Windber PA
Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A great original 1929 government issued Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey..Oi (pint)...Zss q 6 hrs (2 ounce every 6 hours). There were very few women pharmacists who filled these scripts. I've only ever come across three, Mary Timko, of Windber, PA, Jeanette Schroder of Baltimore, MD and Elsie Johnson, of Gilroy, CA. Even the women doctors who prescribed the whiskey during the Prohibition are rare. Please see photos!
From the days of Al Capone, flappers and moonshine this prescription was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
The whiskey was prescribed for John DiJocko, by Dr. Charles Solomon, on January 12, 1929, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Mary M. Timko, of Timko's Drug Store, in Windber, PA.
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 light/skippy writing in the doctor's area due to the use of carbon paper, one fold and light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a terrific Prohibition script!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, wine cellar, distillery, museum, bar or office! Also a great gift or an addition to a collection of pharmacy, medicine, US currency, Alcoholics Anonymous, Capone, 1920s, bar, Americana, stamps and DEA items!
