in that such directions failed to reveal the diseases or conditions of the body
for which the article, when used as directed, would be effective.
DISPOSITION : February 7, 1951. Research Laboratories, Inc., having appeared
as claimant, and the case having been removed to the Northern District of
Illinois and the claimant having subsequently consented to the entry of a
