IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR CO.
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." It is said
that criminal proceedings will follow
and that several arrests may be made.
