HOSTETTER CO. WINS A CASE.



ated by United States Court.
The United States circuit court for
the southern district Of New York,
Judge Townsend presiding, handed
down an opinion December 23, 1897,
granting injunction and accounting, in
the suit of The Hostetter Company
against Isaac Sommers and Louis Jo-
seph, for infringement of its trade
mark. The jurist states, in bold and
clear language, the rights accruing to
the Hostetter Company, and the liabil-
ity incurred by all who would rob
them, by fraud or Misrepresentation,
of the well-earned reputation and
profits of a business built up by the
efforts Of half a century. The JUICE
says, in part:
1.-The complainant is entitled to pro-
lection against the appropriation Of its
trade mark, by any and all unfair and
dishonorable means, and court of
equity has power to grant such protec-
ton whenever 1t is satisfied that an
attempt has been made by ingenious
subterfuges, to invade the rights Of an
owner of trade mark. In
the sharp contest between the individ-
ual manufacturer, who strives to ac-
quire and retain the fruits of indus
try and honesty, and the fiel of keen
rivals, seeking to wrest from him the
prize Of the public goodwill, the in
ventive ingenuity Of the infringer has
conceived great variety of devices
for evading the established rules Of
fair dealing. Courts Of equity
finding that their ultimate object and
effect were to enable and induce the
retail seller of fraudulent imitation
to palm it off on an unsuspecting pub
lie for the genuine article, and thus
to contribute to the infringement upon
the rights of the original owner, have
not hesitated to apply the remedy"

She was much frightened but noticed that
in intervals in which her stomach did not
annoy her, her hearts action became nor
NAL. Reasoning correctly that her diges-
ton was alone at fault she procured the
proper medicine to treat that trouble and
with immediate good results. Her appetite
came back, the choking spells became less
frequent and finally ceased. Her weight,
which had been greatly reduced was re-
stored and she now weighs more than for
years. Her blood soon became pure and
her cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest because
the disease is very common one. That
others may know the means of cure we
give the name of the medicine used-Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. These
pills contain all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves.

Everyone should grow sunfiowers.
They grow upon any soil and are val
liable in many ways. Feed in moder-
ate quantities to horses and poultry.
The oil extracted from the seed is ex-
cellent for burning in lamps, or the
manufacture of soap. The green
leaves dried and powered, make ex-
cellent feed for milch cows, when
mixed with bran. The woody por-
lions make excellent fuel. the ash
making valuable potash. Plant them
around the house, and they absorb
malarial poison. By all means plant
sunflowers.
