CARTER CO. VICTORIOUS.

yy IT. S. Court Ilaya It ti BxclnilTtly Entitled to Red Pncknse for Pills. The Carter Medicine Co., of New York, states that its exclusive right as owner of Little Liver Pills to the red package lias just been again couflrpied by two Important decrees of the United States Circuit Court sitting at Trenton, N. J. It says: “The suit of the Carter Medicine Co., In that court, for an Injunction restraining ti Camden (Ni J.) pill manufacturer from using a redcolored package for his preparation is decided in favor of the Carter Co. A similar result occurs in n suit to enjoin a retail druggist from selling pills in red packages. Both actions were contested. “The court decides that the Carter Medicine Co. has for many years had the sole and exclusive right to the use of red-colored wrappers and labels upon small round packages of liver pills, and says that tilt* right was acquired by the adoption of that color more than thirty years ago, and by its continuous use ever since. _The defendant in each case, is i>ermanently enjoined from manufacturing or putting up any liver pills In such red colored packages, and also from selling any pills in ml packages, except the genuine Carter's. “The decrees direct the defendant*, among other things, to deliver up to the Carter Co., for destruction, nil Infringing wrappers, packages, bottle*, etc. -The defendants are required to account to the complainant, and to pay the damages found due, as well as to the costs of the action." While the Carter Medicine Company’s sole right to the red package ‘ has been upheld by manv previous adjudications, these decisions are consid%*red of especial importance, in view of the high character and standing of tho court which pronounced iliom.
