DISHONESTY OF IMITATIONS.

. «. HOW IT IS PUNISHABLE IN ENGLAND. In the High Court of Chancery recently, Mr Justice Stirling granted an injunction (with costs) against a London chemist, which is of much public importance. The terms <>f the order are " that the defendant, his servants, anil agents, be perpetually restrained from supplying to persons who ask for or order Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, under that or any abbreviated title such as ' Pink Pills for Pale People,' ' Dr. Williams' P.nk Pills,' or ' Dr. Williams' Pills,' ANY PILLS NOT BEING THE PLAINTIFF'S Pills, and also from passing off such pills by the use of the term ' Pink Pills fir Bloodless People,'or in nny other way.'' The defendant was directed to give up to the plaintiff all labe's, etc., containing the term " Pink Pills for Bloodless People," and account to the plaintiff for all profits made by the use of that title. The numerous cures effected in this countiy by Dr. Williams' Pink Pit's for Pale People have led to fraudulent substitutions being attempted. They are enly genuine when sold in a pink wrapper, with the FULL NAME—Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People—printed in red. Anyone who knows of substitution, or ATTEMPTED SUBSTITUTION, is asked to coir municate (in confidence) with Messrs Johnson, Minler, Simpson and Co., Norwichchambers, Hunter-street, Sydney, solicitors for the manufacturers of ihe genuine Pills, who have been instructed to take proceedings for the enforcement of the proprietors' rights.
