This is a beautiful original 1928 Prohibition Prescription for some type of alcohol for a "patient" living in St. Louis, Mo..  During the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine the only legal way to drink liquor in the United States was to have a prescription written by a doctor.   This prescription was written on March 12, 1928, and was filled the same day by the South Broadway Pharmacy in St. Louis, Mo.  It was printed on beautiful paper by the U. S. Treasury Department with poppies on the top corners, fleur-de-lys on the bottom, and spider-webbed borders.  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.  It is punched "VOID" at the top and is in fairly good condition for age with only some very minor edge damage as shown in photos.
