ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about February 21, 1945, by the Modern Medicines
Co., from Memphis, Tenn.
PRODUCT : 10 dozen bottles of Vulcan Tablets at Kansas, City, Mo. Analysis of
a sample disclosed that the product consisted essentially of ferrous sulfate,
vitamin Bi, and extracts of plant drugs such as yohimbine and damiana.
LABEL, IN PART: (Bottle) "30 Vulcan Tablets Each Vulcan Tablet Contains:
Yohimbine Hydro. * * * Ext. Damiana * * * Des. Orchic Sub-
stance * * * Thiamin Hcl. * * * Calcium Glycerophosphate, Exs.
Ferrous Sulfate."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the labeling of the article
was misleading since the statement, "For Adult Men Only," created the im-
pression that the article was of some benefit for conditions affecting
adult males, and the labeling was further misleading since it failed to reveal
the material fact that orchic substance has no therapeutic value when taken by
mouth; and, Section 502 (f) (1), the labeling failed to bear adequate directions
for use since it did not state the conditions in which the article was to be used.
DISPOSITION: August 29, 1945. No claimant having appeared, judgment was
entered ordering that the product be destroyed.
