Whisky Used Unlawfully in Treating Governor's Wife
Indiana Attorney General Arthur L. Gillion urged Governor Ed Jackson to seek an amendment to the Wright dry law to allow medicinal whisky with safeguards. He cited his own need during his son’s typhoid fever and the governor’s wife’s illness. Anti-Saloon League Superintendent E. K. Shumaker argued whisky has no medicinal edge over grain alcohol and should remain prohibited. The governor may propose changes when the 1929 session opens.
