Typically ailments were not notated on the prescriptions, hence, an insight into why whiskey was prescribed during the Prohibition. Please see photos!
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 Mary K
ell
er
, by Dr. F. L. Osgood, of Grafton, VT, on May 25, 1931. It was issued by the Treasury Department and when held to the light, PROHIBITION is partially watermarked.
The prescription stub measures 4 1/2" by 3", has light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great ditty from the Prohibition!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office, museum, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
