Jtidec Adninn Granted nn Injunction In the CnMtorln Cumc. In the United Slates Circuit Court Tuesday afternoon Judge Atlnnis hand ed down au 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 plaintiff's remedy, 'Cnstorin." It was stated in complainant's hill that the Centaur Company, of which Charles II. Fletcher is president, is the sole manufacturer of "Castoria," nnd alleged that the defendant had been selling medicine in pnekages closely re sembling those of the New York firm. A preliminary injunction was prayed for to restrain the defendants from in. any way pirating upon the complain ant's business. The bill averred that the damages stistnincd were large, but could not he estimated. The plen of the defendant was that he had a right to do as he had done. Evidence in the case wns taken by af fidavits. Judge Adams, without leav ing the bench, delivered an opinion in which he denounced imitators of well known medicines. He said the practice was a species of robbery and lie would grant the injunction sought. The medicine "Cnstoria" 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 se cured in the Federnl courts, cases being innumerable in Cliicngo, Indianapolis District of Columbia, Texas and New Jersey, in all of which the courts grant ed injunctions. The attorneys in this suit were Scd don and Blair of St. Louis, and F. II. Scott, of Chicago, for the complain ants and Michael ICineally for the de fendant. 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 hear the facsimile signature of the pres ident, Charles II. Fletcher, on the label, while the bottles sold by the defendant company bore on the label the words. "Pitcher's Baby Castoria."
