    Description

    Own a beautiful piece of American history! During Prohibition, the U.S. Treasury Department authorized physicians to write prescriptions for medicinal alcohol. Licensed doctors, with pads of government-issued prescription forms advised their patients to take regular doses of 'Spiritus Frumenti' Latin for "spirits of grain".
    This would then be taken to a pharmacy to be filled with the patient deciding whether they wanted Brandy, Rum, Bourbon or Rye.
    The pharmacist would keep this "duplicate" for their records should the US government wish to see it.
    This would make a great gift for any doctor, pharmacist, whiskey enthusiast, or all around history buff and looks fantastic framed at a home bar. It has a great watermark when held up to light that says 'PROHIBITION'.
    This prescription for Whiskey was filled at Adelmann's Pharmacy in East Orange, New Jersey on June 16, 1931 and is in fantastic shape for being 90 years old! No tears, rips, or creases. The top left corner has a little bend to it and a slight discoloration (see photos)
    Will be shipped securely and watertight in a padded envelope with cardboard to keep it from any damage during delivery and you'll receive a tracking number immediately.
    PHARMACY PICTURE NOT INCLUDED, obviously but have to say it. I will combine shipping if you buy multiples and I ship the day after payment is received, none of that 'waiting a week to ship' nonsense. You bought it, you deserve to get it ASAP
