    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'. (See photos)
    This prescription was filled June 5, 1931 at Adelmann's Pharmacy in East Orange, New Jersey. It is in fantastic shape for being 90 years old! No tears, rips, bands, or creases.(see photos). This one is in awesome condition!
    Prescription for "ONE PINT OF WHISKEY", very specific! I don't get many specific ones.
    Will be shipped securely with cardboard to keep it from any damage during delivery the day after payment is received WITH TRACKING.
    The pharmacy pictured is the where the prescription was filled.
    PHARMACY PICTURE NOT INCLUDED, obviously but have to say it.
    I will gladly combine shipping if you buy multiples and will ship the day after payment is received.
