584. Misbranding of Orrine No. 1.   TJ.'S. v. 138 Packages of Orrine No. 1.   Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 3428.    Sample No.
12879-E.)
The labeling of this product falsely represented that its use would be help-
ful in relieving or lessening the desire for alcohol.
On November 25, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District
of California filed a libel against 138 packages of Orrine No. 1 at San Fran-
cisco, Calif. On December 20, 1940, the libel was amended to cover an addi-
tional shipment of 75 packages. The libel as amended alleged that the article
had been shipped by the Orrine Co. from Washington, D. C, on or about April
9 and August 20,1940; and charged that it was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of
gold chloride, hyoscine hydrobromide, ammonium, chloride, and cinchona
alkaloids.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that representations in the
labeling that it would be efficacious in lessening or relieving the desire or crav-
ing for liquor, were false and misleading.
On June 21, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
