the evidence on which to base a prosecution.

ralgia cure; "A sure and quick relief for all headaches' and neuralgia,"?
whereas, in truth and in fact, it was not a sure and quick relief for?
headaches and neuralgia; " Will not cause a habit," whereas, in truth?
and in fact, the said drug was a habit-forming drug; in that said

and the court imposed a fine of $25.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
