Restrained From Claiming That Its 

 Product Is Identical With Ichthyol. — 



According to the "Chemist and Drug- 

 gist" for December 27, 1913, the Ich- 

 thyol Company (Cordes, Plermanni & 

 Co.), of Hamburg, has again been suc- 

 cessful in court in demonstrating that 

 still another article ofifered as a com- 

 plete substitute for ichthyol is far 

 from being- identical with it. The 

 Ichthyol Company's action was igainst 

 the Chemical Factory of Westend Al- 

 win Lowenthal, Charlottenburg. The 

 Supreme Court in Berlin on Septem- 

 ber 26, 1912, ordered, under severe 

 penalty, that the Lowenthal Company 

 be restrained from publishing- any 

 statement to the effect that its prod- 

 uct is a substitute of equal value for 

 ichthyol, or that it agrees in all its 

 chemical and physical properties with 

 ichthyol, or that it can be designated 

 as chemically equivalent, and there- 

 fore of equal value, or that it is iden- 

 tical with the original product, both 

 chemically and physically. 



The Lowenthal firm appealed against 

 this decision and the Supreme Court 

 of Judicature (Kammergericht), hav- 

 ing heard the appeal, dismissed it. In 

 the course of its judgment the Court 

 stated that the incorrectness of the 

 firm's statements had. been proved.
