I think that's what this certificate is - a prescription for alcohol for someone in Los Angeles in the 1920s. I'm not positive though as i've never seen one of these before. Any other ideas?

Got a photocopier I need some of these to prove it's a medical condition I suffer from :)

Yep. Apparently, it was what made Walgreens into the powerhouse business it is today:

The milkshake made it into the mainstream when in 1922 a Walgreens employee in Chicago, Ivar “Pop” Coulson, took an old-fashioned malted milk (milk, chocolate, and malt) and added two scoops of ice cream, creating a drink which became popular, soon becoming a high-demand drink for young adults around the country.
