tion.     (F. & r>   No. 11011.    I. S. No. 884.0-r.     F. No. C-138J..)
On July 19, 1919, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?
Illinois, - 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 10 bottles of C. G. Remedy, remaining in the original pack??
ages at Springfield, 111., alleging that the article had been shipped by the All an-?
Pfeiffer Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo., on or about February 17, 1919, and trans??
ported from the State of Missouri into the' State of Illinois, and charging mis??
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Analysis of a sample by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department showed?
the product to be essentially a solution of zinc salts, boric acid, eucalyptol,?
phenol, and glycerin, and an unidentified plant extractive.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason?
that certain statements appearing on the label thereof, to wit, " C. G. Remedy?
for Gonorrhoea and Gleet. * * * For Male and Female * * * This?
Remedy Produces Prompt Relief * * * B & B C. G. Remedy For the cure?
and prevention of Gonorrhoea (clap), Blennorhcea (gleet), Leucorrhcea (whites),?
and Allied Forms of Acute and Chronic Inflammatory Mucous Discharges from?
the Urethra (Urine Canal)," were false and fraudulent for the reason that the?
article would not produce the curative effects asserted in the label.
On September 2, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
