"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", 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.
