CHINESE HERBALIST
HIGH PRICE FOR OINTMENT FINE OF £75 IMPOSED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Nov. 25. The charge of selling a 2oz pot of catarrhal ointment at an unreasonably high price preferred against Kwong Simpson, aged 42, a Chinese herbalist, under the Board of Trade Act, was the subject of a reserved decision given by Mr F. H. Levien, S.M., in the Police Court to-day. It had been alleged that the ointment, which was sold at £2 6s, could have been dispensed by a chemist for 3s. The magistrate said he took into account the statement of the Government analyst, Mr K. M. Griffin, that the ointment could be dispensed for 3s and that his analysis of the ointment bore no resemblance to the prescription. A fine of £75 was imposed.
