126 32-Ounce Bottles, 309 16-0unce Bottles, and 36 8-Onnce Bottles
of Eornm and 500 copies of a circular entitled /fRnssell Poultry Medi-
cines and Biologies."    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 8013.   Sample No. 4601-F.)
On August 1, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
Qhio, filed a libel against the above-listed amounts of Korum, and accompanying
circulars, at Lewisburg, Ohio, alleging that the product, Korum, had been trans-
ported in interstate commerce on or about June 8, 23, and 24, 1942, and that
the copies of the circular hPd been transported in interstate commerce on or about
June 15,1942, both by I. D. Russell Co., from Kansas City, Mo.
Analysis of the sample of the Korum showed that it consisted essentially of
sodium chloride, potassium dichromate, small proportions of sodium chlorate,
potassium nitrate, Epsom salt, and water.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that certain statements appearing in the
booklet accompanying the article which represented and suggested that it con-
stituted an effective preventive and treatment for coccidiosis, mycosis, and respir-
atory diseases of poultry, when used as directed, were false and misleading since
it would not constitute an effective preventive or treatment for such conditions.
On September 15,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the drug and circulars were ordered destroyed.
