Antique 1929 PROHIBITION WHISKEY PRESCRIPTION Pharmacy Bar Description A great original 1929 Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey ~ One Pt (pint) ~ Use as directed! By law, this particular prescription was to be returned to the government, and most were! Please see photos! From the days of Al Capone (in this case Pretty Boy Floyd, 1933 Kansas City Massacre), flappers and moonshine, this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US! The prescription was prescribed for E. T. White, by Dr. Andrew J. Tucker, on September 3, 1929, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, W. L. Lierman, of Yunker & Lierman Drug Co., in Sedalia, MO. It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy, beautiful 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 top original, was to be forwarded by the pharmacist to the government on the 10th day of the ensuing month! Printed on the back are a few paragraphs of "Instructions"; fascinating information and great reading! This prescription measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/2", has two pin holes, otherwise, condition is EXCELLENT...a great Rx!
