6494. Misbranding of S. H. Hog Remedy. II. S. * * * v. 396 Packages o*?
S. H. Hog Remedy. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture^?
and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 8834.    I. S. No. 9151-p.    S. No. C-822.)
On February 23, 1918, the United States attorney for the Western District?
of Michigan, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in thfi?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 396 packages of S. H. Hog Remedy, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at Grand Rapids, Mich., alleging that the article?
had been shipped on or about November 25, 1916, by the S. H. Hog Remedy Co.,?
Dallas, Tex., and of St. Louis, Mo., from St. Louis, Mo., into the State of?
Michigan, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act,?
as amended.   The article was labeled in part, " S. H. Hog Remedy."
It Was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was misbranded for?
the reason that certain statements appearing on the label, regarding the thera??
peutic or curative effects of the article, falsely and fraudulently represented?
that it was in whole or in part composed of, or contained, ingredients for the?
prevention of hog cholera and for the prevention and extermination of worms,?
lice, and other parasites on hogs, when, in truth and in fact, it was not. Mis??
branding of the article was alleged for the further reason that it contained?
the following ingredients, to wit, Dutch madder, sulphur, sodium nitrate,?
ferrous sulphate, arsenic trioxid, and antimony sulphid, which said ingredients?
and combinations thereof were incapable of producing the effects claimed for it.
On May 7, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
J. R. RIGGS, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
