Prescription for Good Whiskey
“Sheriff Oswald, Leprington,
This is to certify that Mr. Joe Hinnant is ill and needs some good whiskey. Please send him the best you have.
Yours Truly,
A.L. Ballenger M.D.
11/1/28”Turns out prescriptions for whiskey were fairly common during prohibition (ebay). Most of them were printed on federal forms but I like the light-hearted, personal tone of this one.
Via the incredible, interesting and booze-nerdy chanticleersociety.org
There are some samples of these in Daniel Okrent’s excellent history of prohibition, Last Call.
