Nos. 7805-r, 7807-r.    S. Nos. C-1259, C-1280.) 
On May 27, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Indiana,
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court
of the United States for said district 2 libels for the seizure and condemnation 
of 45 bottles and 2 dozen bottles, more or less, of a drug, labeled in part " Injec- 
tion Malydor," remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Indian- 
apolis, Ind., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about May 3, 1919, 
and March 15, 1919, by the Malydor Mfg. Co., Lancaster, Ohio, and transported 
from the State of Ohio into the State of Indiana, and charging misbranding 
under the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Analysis of samples of the product made by the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed that it consisted essentially of an aqueous solution of boric 
acid, phenol, a zinc salt, acetanilid, glycerin, and a trace of unidentified alkaloid.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libels for the reason 
that the statements appearing on the labels and in the circular accompanying 
the article, with respect to the curative and therapeutic effects of the article, 
falsely and fraudulently represented that the article was a treatment, remedy, 
and cure for diseases of the orificial passages as gonorrhoea, gleet, leucorrhoea, 
piles, sjphilis, chancroids, soft chancres, nasal catarrh, constitutional catarrhal 
condition, gonorrhoea in women, acute gonorrhoea, and sub-acute or chronic 
gonorrhoea, whereas, in truth and in fact, it was not.
On January 2, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, default 
decrees of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the pj oduct be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
