The Young Churchill

The NY Times wrote that a new exhibition "Churchill, the Power of words" is showing at the Morgan Library & Museum in NYC.  They have recordings of his voice giving many speeches. But one of the more curious items describes the following: In January 1932 he was in New York on a lecture tour when he was struck by an auto at 5th Avenue and 76th Street and needed medical assistance. Below ver batim is the Rx dictated by a New York physician:
-This is to certify that the post accident convalescence of the Hon. Winston S. Churchill necessitates
-the use of alcoholic spirits especially at meal times. The quantity is naturally indefinite but the -minimum requirement would be 250 cubic centimeters. Unquote (Approx 8 ounces or 5.33 Jiggers)
Remember this was in the midst of Prohibition - until 1933. It is unclear whether he was dispensed Scotch, Brandy or something "imported" from Canada but it must have proved sufficient to whet his appetite then and for years to come.
On a personal note my mother recalled walking five blocks to an Apothecary prior to 1933 to obtain similar spirits. The druggist was the go to guy of that era.
