    1929 Prohibition Prescription Whiskey Pharmacy Doctor Bar Minnesota South Dakota
    Welcome
    &
    Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
    A great original Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey ~ Zxvi (pint)...Zss (2 ounces) as needed! Rare, as the patient lived in SD! Please see photo!
    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 Peter Ganz, of Twin Brooks, SD, by Dr. Bert Karn, of Ortonville, MN, on February 21, 1929, and was filled on November 22, 1929, by Pharmacist, Manley Alsaker, of Ortonville Drug Company, in Ortonville, MN.
    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 watermarked, as with the metal strips that are used in U.S. bills today, the graphics are GREAT!
    This was the pharmacist's duplicate copy, printed on the back are the "Instructions", one of which is: "This duplicate prescription must be retained by the druggist as permanent record, open to inspection by Federal Officers", the top copy was sent to the government.
    The prescription measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/2", has one fold and two file punches, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great Minnesota//South Dakota Rx!
    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!
