On March 3. 1920, the United Stales attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and 
condemnation of 253 dozen bottles of D. D. D. Remedy for Eczema * * * 
Ordinary Strength, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at 
New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about Decem- 
ber 26, 1919, by the Valley Crystal Co., Ravenswood, Ill., and on or about 
October 17, 1919, by fhe Williams Mfg. Co., Cleveland, Ohio, and transported 
from the States of Illinois and Ohio into the State of New York and charging 
misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs A,ct, as amended.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- 
ment showed that it contained 30.18 per cent by volume of alcohol and consisted 
of phenol, oil of sassafras, methyl salicylate, salicylic acid, chloral hydrate, 
alcohol, and water.
Misbranding of the article,was alleged in the libel in that the statement on

wit, "Contains Alcohol, 38%," was false and misleading and deceived and mis- 
led the purchaser. Misbranding of the article was further alleged in that the 
statements on the carton inclosing, and on the label of the bottle containing the 
article, regarding the curative and therapeutic effects of the article, to wit,
