MISBRANDING  OF  DR.   CALDWELL'S  ANTI-PAIN  TABLETS.
At the February, 1912, term of the District Court of the United?
States for the Southern District of New York the grand jurors of?
the United States within and for- said district, after presentation?
by the United States Attorney for said district, acting upon a report?
by the Secretary of Agriculture, returned an indictment against?
" John " W. Horter, the said first name " John " being fictitious,?
the real name being to the grand jurors unknown, but who can be?
identified, late of the district aforesaid, charging shipment by?
him, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about Sep??
tember 8, 1910, from the State of New York into the State of Ten??
nessee, of a consignment of Dr. Caldwell's Anti-Pain Tablets, which?
was misbranded. The product was labeled: " Dr. Caldwell's Anti-?
Pain Tablets, for Headache, Neuralgia, all kinds of pains and aches,?
* * * prepared only by the Dr. Caldwell Medical Company,?
Main Office and Laboratory, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.    *    *    * ".
An analysis by the Bureau of Chemistry of this Department?
showed the following results: Acetanilid, 51.4 per cent; caffeine, 12.3?
per cent; corn starch, 23.2 per cent; camphor, present; average each?
tablet weighs 0.2455 gram. Misbranding was alleged in the indict??
ment for the reason that the package in which the product was?
shipped failed to bear a statement on the label as to the quantity?
or proportion of acetanilid contained therein, whereas in truth and?
in fact acetanilid was contained in said product in the proportion?
of about 50 per cent.
On March 18, 1912, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and?
the court sentenced him to pay a fine of $200.
