Zii every 2 h! Please see photo!  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 written for M. Elhenberg, by Dr. E. D. Martin, on March 22, 1931, and was filled the sam day by Pharmacist, Leo Schleifstein, of Schleifstein's Drug Store, in Kansas City, 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 written, 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 staple holes and a light mark on the same corner, otherwise, condition is excellent...great in person! This is a wonderful piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, kitchen, wine cellar, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions you may have, please feel free to email, thanks! Pleased to combine shipping with other Prohibition Prescriptions, Liquor Licenses, Opium Forms & Pharmacy Labels.  As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage! ginger.1 Store Place a Bid!
