Welcome

Thank You for Shopping In the USA!

An ornate original 1925 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Zxvi (pint)! This prescription was used for a short period of time during the Prohibition, between 1924 and 1925. Please see photos.From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!The whiskey was prescribed for Hypolite Choquette, by Dr. Evariste Lariviere, on May 16, 1925, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Oscar C. Goddu, of Goddu\'s Drug Store in New Bedford, MA.It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy, beautiful paper, that was also used for U.S. currency. 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!The prescription measures 6 1/2\" x 4 3/8\", has light folds, an ink blotch from the doc\'s fountain pen and two pin holes, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful 1925 prescription!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!
