Syllabus

<p>Negligence—Sale of Injubious Remedies—Liability of State Agent. An agent handling the sale in certain states, hut in no way connected with the manufacture, of a secret process remedy, misrepresented to make fruit trees healthier, is not liable for damages caused by use of the remedy purchased from another agent; since there can be no liability in the absence of privity, where the thing sold was not of a noxious or dangerous kind and the defendant did not make the sale and was guilty of no fraud, deceit or negligence with reference to the sale or manufacture.</p>
