What are the specifications 1st, Copy
wrighting a trade mark known as the Royal
Liniment and End, trading under the

The Label was copyrighted simply to
protect it from adulteration by unscrupu-
lous persons and am perfectly willing to
name the ingredients of this Liniment to
any committee of this society and if they

spect to any combination which can be
evolved from my accuser's ponderous brafx
then will forever cease the use of the Roy.

Gentlemen l hold in my hand pamphlet
describing the virtues of Listerine: Lister
inc is recommended by such professional
| lights as Surgeon Wales of the Navy and
by Christ ,pher johnson of Baltimore and
also by the ablest medical gentlemen of this
city (my accuser is not included in this list
as he probably never heard of Listerine)
and what is Listerine? 1t is a proprietary
compound not only recommended by tine

We have earnestly striven to conduct tn,
Drug business at 9th & Orange SITS honestl.
