2022. Adulteration and misbranding of estrogenic substance.    V. S. v.  1 Glass
Jug of Natural Whole Estrogenic Substance.   Default decree of condem-
nation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 20425.    Sample No. 45060-H.)
LIBEL FILED :   July 23,1946, Southern District of California.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT :    On or about April 17, 1946, by the Intramed Co., Inc., from
New York, N. Y.
PRODUCT : 1 glass jug containing about 2 liters of estrogenic substance at Los
Angeles, Calif.
LABEL, IN PART : "Natural Whole Estrogenic Substance in Sesame Oil."
' NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 501 (c), the strength of the article
differed from that which it was represented to possess, i'. e., 20,000 International
Units of estrone per cubic centimeter; and, Section 501 (b) (2), a substance,
estrogenic material, different from that occurring in gravid jnares' urine had
been substituted in whole or in part for natural whole estrogenic substance
consisting principally of estrone and such other auxiliary hormones as are
normally present in gravid mares' urine, which the article was represented to be.
Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the label statements, "Natural Whole Estro-
genic Substance * *' * Consisting principally of estrone and such other
auxiliary hormones as are normally present in gravid mares' urine. Each 1 ce.
is equivalent to 20,000 I. U. rated as Estrone," were false and misleading since
the estrogenic material present did not consist of estrogens as they occur in-and
are extracted from gravid mares' urine, and the potency of the article was
greater than 20,000 International Units of estrone per cubic centimeter.
DISPOSITION:    September 18, 1946.   No claimant having appeared, judgment of
condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
