From the days of Al Capone, flappers and moonshine, this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US! The prescription was written for Mrs. Henry Weaver, by Dr. S. C. Breunbaugh, on April 5, 1931, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Mary M. Timko, of Timko's Drug Store, in Windber, PA.  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.   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.  This prescription measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/2" and is in excellent condition...a fantastic script!
