IN FAVOR OF THE cENTAUR CO.
judge Adams Granted nm Injunction
I'm the Cnstorin Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit Of the
Centaur Company, of New York City.
against Samuel w. Eslinger, OF St.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
TO restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
II was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles il. Fletcher is president, is the
sole manufactures of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those OF the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for 90 restrain the defendants from In
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had right TO do
as he had done
Evidence in the case was taken by af-
fidavits. Judge Adams. without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was a species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar TO the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, indianapolis,
District of Columbia, Texas and New
Jersey, in all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair, OF st. Louis, and +. H..
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
PENDANT. The preliminary injunction is
understood TO settle the point OF law
involved but the question of damages
will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles OF the original "Castoria"
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles III. Fletcher, on the label.
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
pitchers Baby Castoria." 1t is said
that criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.
