c. 1919 Used "Prescription Form for Medicinal Liquor Issued Under Authority Of The National Prohibition Act"
(PROHIBITION).
"Prescription Form for Medicinal Liquor Issued Under Authority Of The National Prohibition Act" which was passed in 1919, 4.5" x 5.5", Extremely Fine. This is a duplicate version (the originals were in white and are extremely rare). Partially printed, completed by hand in a carbon copy impression. Two filing holes at left for storage. These forms were used to prescribe liquor at a time when alcohol was considered to be as dangerous as opium or any other "hard" drug. Many "prescriptions" were just a way of skirting the law. An item from one of the more curious periods in our country's history.
