When I was a kid and not eating right nor feeling well my father would go to the store and bring home a six pack of small Guiness Stout for me as a tonic.

No. It does NOT contain iron. It is not a substitute for any prescription medicine. They certainly don't use the old advertising slogan 'Guinness is good for you' any more - because it would be illegal!
However, if you are going to drink beer then you could certainly do a lot worse.....

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT IT BEING SOLD ON PRESCRIPTION, BUT IT WAS CERTAINLY USED AS A TONIC, THEY WOULD ALLOW YOU TO TAKE IT IN FOR PEOPLE IN HOSPITAL.
