"Prescription Form for Medicinal Liquor Issued Under Authority Of The National Prohibition Act"

c. 1925, Partially Printed Document, "Prescription Form for Medicinal Liquor Issued Under Authority Of The National Prohibition Act," Extremely Fine.
"Prescription Form for Medicinal Liquor Issued Under Authority Of The National Prohibition Act", 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 holes at left for filing and 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. A great item from one of the more curious periods in our country's history.
