its striking iron molders for alleged
violation of an injunction issued against
them have been closed in the United

will render his decision early next
week. The attorney sought to prove
that conspiracy existed and that the
terms of the injunction had been vio-

HOW A DOCTORS PREsCRIP-

Some iiIty years ago the old drug

Father O'BIien Of 81. patrickis
Parish. The good Father was very
much run down and almost proatrated
with severe throat and lung trouble.
and this prescription, given him by an
eminent specialist, cured his throat
aud lung trouble and restored his
strength and SOON ho VAS strong and

or course Father John, as his
parishionors and friends, always called

one suffering from throat and lunp
trouble or in a run down condition, he
would send them to the old Carleton
g. Hovey drug store for the prescription
which had restored his own health !:
aud before long this prescription was
known as Father Johns Madeline.
For over 40 years this same old pre-.
scription was compounded and sold at
the Carleton & Hoyey drug store and
year after year the demand kept
steadily increasing.
Then In 1901 the morlts Of Father
John q Medicine we're for the flrst time

outside Of Lowell, Mass, through The
newspapers, and the people finding
that the medicine was all that it was
/ claimed 20 be, the demand grew 90
rapidly that It was found impossible
/ TO compound the prescription In the
Carleton s. aovey drug store any
longer, and ths Father Johns Modi-
cine Laboratories we're established.
Since that time. In the last iour
/ yearG, tho demand for this fine old
medicine has remarkably increased.
Some idea Of this increase may be
gained from the fact that, while In
| 1901, when the Father Johns Medicine
laboratories we're established, the medi-
cine was all compounded in o ten
gallon machine and the bottles labeled
by hand, at the present time fifteen
mnchinee, each having capacity OF
100 gallons, are used and the bottles
are labeled by a labelling machine
with a capacity Of $500 bottles an
