CHINESE HERBALIST FINED £75
HIGH PRICE CHARGED FOR OINTMENT
(PA.) AUCKLAND, November 25. A charge of selling a 2oz pot of catarrahal 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. It had been alleged that the ointment, which was sold at £2/6/-, could have been dispensed by a chemist for 3/-. i The Magistrate said he took into account the statement of the Government analyst, Mr K. M. Griffin, that the ointment could be dispensed for 3/- and that his analysis of the ointment bore no resemblance to the prescription. A fine of £75 was imposed.
