DECISION FAyORs CASTORIA.
Judge Gros.cup Grants an fntuncffo"
Against Imitators Of This Valuable
Remedy


A decision of general interest has been
delivered by Judge peter s. Grosscup.
Of the United States Circuit Court, giving
the Centaur Company Of New YORK city'
manufacturers OF Castoria, world re-
nown remedy. an injunction against the
members OF the Chicago hrm OF hhru,
Young and Pearson. acting as agents OF
the Pitcher Medicine Company, OF Dulutt'
MINI.
Judge Grosscup in his decision. iinds
that the defendants manufactured. put np
and sold In imitation wrappers, labels
and packages. a preparation known as
"Castoria." The court held that such
manufacture and use Of original label was
a gross violation of the Centaur Com
pany's rights. The Judge thereupon Is
sued an Injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from initiating the oriEfnaf
Castoria labels Of the Centaur Company
Messrs. Hamline Scott and Lord appear
ed as attorneys for the Centaur Con-
pany. During the hearing OF the case
an affidavit was read from DR.. Samuei

ton "C2stcrja" ia which be states that
the Centaur Company only had the right
to use his formula and his hame

Company. has been most active I'm trac-
ing the source Ct spurious goods that
were found on the market and offered Tor
sale as the real article. lie discovered
that the imitation was first put on the
market by the Sager Drug Company.
Of Duluth. Mimi. and that Mr.. Hurd and
others handled the preparation in Chi
caCO.
The sale was found so easy that the
agents proceeded TO put up preparation
Of their own, thus checkmating their
principals
The decision just rendered covers both
limitations. The Ccntaur Company are
now taking steps 20 proceed criminally
against druggists who have been talked
into laying in a stock Of the counterfeit
