In selecting DR. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine busi,
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his inita-
tions at a discount of from 2per cent. to 5 per
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at discount from dealers who were
overstocked. By working fast and making
long. jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in a short time. The
proprietors of Dr. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be.
fore he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market
