INFORMATION FILED :   March 17,1954, Eastern District of Oklahoma, against the
Stanford Drug Store, a partnership, Holdenville, Okla., and Carl C. Stanford
and Harwell Daughtery, partners in the partnership.
NATURE OF CHARGE : On or about October 21, 23, 26, and 28, 1953, while a
number of tablets containing a mixture of sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine, and
sulf athiazole were being held for sale at the Stanford Drug Store, after ship-
ment in interstate commerce, the defendants caused various quantities of the
tablets to be dispensed without a prescription from a practitioner licensed by
law to administer such drug. Such acts of dispensing were contrary to Sec-
tion 503 (b) (1), and resulted in the dispensed drug being misbranded while
held for sale.
DISPOSITION: June 7, 1954. The defendants having entered pleas of nolo con-
tendere, the court imposed a fine of $100 against the defendants jointly.
