This is a hand written prescription with Dr. A.J. Robinson's signature.  The picture to the right is the back of this prescription.

I found a Dr. Andrew J. Robinson prescription which contains his signature, but there is no date. The title on the prescription  is "The Palace Drug Store Richardson-Robinson Drug  Co. Pauls Valley, Okla."  On the top it reads office of Dr. A. J. Robinson, phone 97, Pauls Valley, Okla.  I  have asked a pharmacist to tell me what the medicine is and what it was for.  He has done his best but there is one ingredient that he could not find so he was not very sure of what it was.  We think the prescription was for my grandfather, my brother (a child), or my uncle.  My brother died in August 1914 and my uncle in September 1914 and my grandfather died in 1915.  My grandfather had TB, my uncle Typhoid Fever and we are not sure about my brother, he was sick quite a  while before he died. He may have had some sort of fever. They all lived close to one another.
