    Old 1924 Prohibition Prescription Whiskey Pharmacy Doctor Bar Houstonia MO
    Welcome
    &
    Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
    An ornate original 1924 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for  Whiskey...Oi (pint)...Zii (2 ounces) q 4 hours!   This prescription was used for a short period of time during the Prohibition, between 1924 and 1925. 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 Mrs. James Tunder?, by Dr. Joseph W. Mills, both of Houstonia, MO, on April 12, 1924, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, L. C. Yunker, of Yunker-Lierman Drug Co., in Sedalia, MO.
    It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy, beautiful paper, that was also used for U.S. currency. 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 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 prescription measures 6 1/2" x 4 3/8", has a piece off the left border and two folds, otherwise, condition is very good...a beautiful 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!
    All items ship within 24 hours of payment!
