District Court of the United States for said district an information against? James F? Ballard, St. Louis, Mo., alleging shipment by said defendant, in? violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended: (1) On or about March 18, 1913, from the State of Missouri into the State? of Tennessee, of a quantity of " Collins' Ague Remedy " which was misbranded.? This article was labeled: (On carton) "Collins' Anti-Periodic, Anti-Constipa?? tion, Fever Chill and Liver Remedy Or Ague Tonic, 33?? Alcohol. Recom?? mended for Biliousness and Constipation. Liver and Kidney Complaints,? Chills and Fever, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Dysentery, Sick Headache, and most? forms of Bilious and Malarial diseases. Prepared only by Collins Bros. Medi?? cine Co., James F. Ballard, Prop. St. Louis, Missouri." (On sides of carton)? " Collins Fever Remedy exercises a decidedly beneficial effect on the liver,? especially where the liver is torpid or functionally deranged. It stimulates? the flow of bile and counteracts a jaundiced state of the blood. It also has a? strengthening influence in the stomach and digestive organs. It is very im?? portant in using this medicine that the directions be faithfully followed.? Regulating the dose carefully in accordance with the instructions. The? cathartic action, of Collins' Fever Remedy is prompt and efficient, and can be? easily regulated to suit each case by increasing or diminishing the dose as? may be necessary. It is better to begin with the smaller dose and gradually? increase the quantity as required. This remedy is composed of substances of? great power in correcting disturbed action of the excretory organs. It has a? diuretic effect in the kidneys and a purgative influence in the bowels, thereby? assisting the removal of malarial poisons from the system. Recommended? especially for Chills and Fever, Intermittent Fever, and Ague. Serial No. 664.? Guaranteed by. James F. Ballard under the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th,? 1906."

Fever, Ague Cake, Jaundice and Stomach or Liver troubles, take a teaspoonful? night and morning for two days, stop two days and then begin again and take? it two days longer, same as before. In this way you can usually relieve any? form of malaria with it. For Bilious Colic and Cholera Morbus, take one-half? teaspoonful at first, and if not relieved in fifteen minutes, repeat the dose.? For Diarrhoea & Dysentery take one-half teaspoonful, if not relieved in one hour,? mix a teaspoonful of the Remedy in half a glass of water, and take one? teaspoonful of the mixture every hour, until relief is obtained Directions for? Children. Under 5 years, give from 3 to 5 drops; between 5 & 10 years, give? from 10 to 20 drops every 6 hours. Measure your dose* and do not drink from? the bottle. Take a swallow of water just before as well as after taking the? medicine. Prepared only by James F. Ballard, Successor to Collins Bros.? Medicine Co. St. Louis, Missouri. The Ague Remedy acts upon the Liver? and Kidneys, usually correcting all disordered action of those organs in a? short period. It also serves as a correction for secretions. In every disorder? of the system, when a cathartic is required, a dose or two of Ague Remedy? usually affords relief, and will be found superior to most other purgative? medicines."
