ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about Ma
rch 5 and 9, 1948, from the State of
Missouri into the States of Iowa and Illinois.
NATURE OF CHARGE: Neo-Lixir. Adulteration, Section 501 (c), the strength of
the article differed from that which it purported and was represented to
possess, in that each fluid ounce of the article purported and was represented
to contain 4 grains of U. S. P. Reference Pepsin, whereas each fluid ounce of
the article contained less than 4 grains of U. S. P. Reference Pepsin. Mis-
branding, Section 502 (a), the label statement "Each Fluid Ounee Contains 4
grains U. S. P. Reference Pepsin" was false and misleading.
So-Lix-Go. Adulteration, Section 501 (c), the strength of the article dif-
fered from that which it purported and was represented to possess since each
fluid ounce purported and was represented to contain 40 grains of salicylic
acid (as sodium salicylate), whereas it contained less than that amount of
salicylic acid (as sodium salicylate).
DISPOSITION: April 7, 1949. Pleas of guilty having been entered, the court
imposed a fine of $300 against each defendant.
