An ornate, original 1926 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Oi...Sig. Half ounce in aqua twice daily! Please see photos!
This prescription has poppies on the top corners, fleur-de-lys on the bottom, and spider-webbed borders! The prescription was written for N. W. Sample, by Dr. Frank Bacon Hancock, on January 21, 1926, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Theodore Campbell, of Campbell's Drug Store, in Philadelphia, PA. It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy, beautiful pink 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 prescription measures 6 1/2" x 5 3/4", has a torn corner, otherwise, condition is EXCELLENT!
This is a wonderful piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, wine cellar, bar, kitchen, or office! I am happy to answer any questions you may have, please feel free to email, thanks!
