Pleas of guilty. Fines, $1,400. (F. D. C. No. 94. Sample Nos. 25962-D,
25963-D, 25964-D, 30071-D to 30074-D, incl., 30092-D to 30097-D, incl.,

This product consisted of capsules and tablets containing aminopyrine
(aminodimethylpyrazolon,) salicylic ethyl ester carbonate, and a sulfonate
such as quinolinesulfonate. It would be dangerous to health when used in
the dosage or with the frequency prescribed, recommended, and suggested in
the labeling.
The labeling of 6 of the 7 shipments bore the recommendation that the
article be taken in the dosage as directed by the physician, 1 to 2 tablets
or capsules 3 times a day, one-half hour before meals. In the seventh ship-
ment the labeling in describing the "manner of use" of the article represented
that the average dose was 1 capsule or tablet 3 times daily one-half hour
before meals and that in severe or chronic cases one should start with 2
capsules or tablets 3 times daily continuing for about a week, then gradually
reducing the dosage.
On January 30, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District
of New York filed an information against the Amfre Drug Co., Inc., and
Lewis Stern, president of the corporation, alleging shipment by said defend-
ants within the period from on or about July 1 to on or about December 27,
1938, from the State of New York into the States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, of quantities of Causalin which was mis-
branded for the reasons appearing above.
