DECISION FAyORs CAsTORIA.
Judge Grosscup Grants an inJuhc-
ton Against Imitators OF This fro-
prietOry Remedy.


A decision of general interest was de-
livered in Chicago Monday by Judge Peter
s. Grosscup. of the United States Cir
cult Court, giving the Centaur Company
of New York city. manufacturers OF Cas-
toria. an injunction against the members
of the Chicago firm of Hurd. Young, &
Pierson. acting as agents of the Pitcher
Medicine Company, OF Duluth, MINI.
Judge Grosscup, In his decision. finds
that the defendants manufactured. put
up. 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 violation Of the Centaur Company
rights. The Judge thereupon issued an
Injunction restraining the defendants
from initiating the original Castoria
labels of the Centaur Company Messrs
Hamline. Scott and Lord appeared as at
torneys for the Centaur Company. During
the hearing of the case an affidavit wa
read from Or. Samuel Pitcher the origi
nator of the preparation, "Castoria," In
which he states that the Centaur Com
many only had the right to use his for
mula and his name.
Charles II. Fletcher, president of the
company, has been most active in tracing
the source of spurious goods that wert
found on the market and offered for sale
as the real article. He discovered that
the imitation was first put on the mar
ket by the Sager Drug Company. OF
Duluth. MINI, and that Mr.. Hurd and
others handled the preparation in Chicago
The sale was found 80 easy that the
agents proceeded to put up preparation
of their own, thus checkmating theiE
principals.
The decision just rendered covers both
limitations. The Centaur Company are
now taking steps TO proceed criminally
against druggists who have been talked
into laying In stock Of the counterfeit
