Is After the Druggists. Richmond Proposes to Make It Warm for Them
Dr A S Richmond of this city seeks action against druggists selling his Samaritan Nervine barred by a U S court order. The case, started in 1880, named the S A Richmond Nervine Company of St Joseph Mo, with litigation lasting over a year.
