11741. Misbranding: of Craemer's celebrated compound and Craemer's cal- culus corrective. TJ. S. v. 11 Bottles of Craemer's Celebrated Com- pound and 9 Bottles of Craemer's Calculus Corrective. Default decree entered with, respect to the Craemer's celebrated com- pound adjudging- it to be misbranded and ordering its destruc- tion. Default decree of condemnation and destruction with re- spect to the Craemer's calculus corrective. (F. & D. Nos. 16303, 16304. S. Nos. C-3621, C-3622.) On May 18, 1922, 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 libels praying the seizure and con- demnation of 11 bottles of Craemer's celebrated compound and 9 bottles or Craemer's calculus corrective, remaining in the original unbroken packages?- at Terre Haute, Ind., alleging that the articles had been shipped from the William Craemer Medicine Co., St. Louis, Mo., the former on or about April 4, 1922, and the latter on or about December 15, 1921, and that the said articles had been transported from the State of Missouri into the State of* Indiana, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended. The Craemer's celebrated compound was labeled in part: (Bottle and carton) "For * * * Gall Stones, Stones in the Kidneys, Stones- in the Urinary Bladder, Liver, Kidney, Bladder, Stomach and Bowel Com- plaints * * * Thickened Bile, Bilious Colic * * * Sallow Complexion, Dizziness, Renal or Kidney Colic * * * Painful Urination, Loss of Ap- petite." The Craemer's calculus corrective was labeled in part: (Bottle and carton) " Calculus Corrective * * * for Gall Stones, Stones in the Kid- neys, Stones in the Urinary Bladder or Gravel * * * Sallow Complexion;" (bottle) " During an attack of Gall Stone Colic, take * * * every 2 or 3 hours. * * * the persistent use of the remedy will prevent the forma- tion of the various Calculi or Stones named." Analyses of samples of the articles by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de- partment showed that each was an aqueous solution of sodium, potassium, ammonium, and lithium phosphate, citrate, salicylate, and chloride and extract of ginger, sweetened with saccharin and colored with caramel. Misbranding of the articles was alleged in substance in the libels for the reason that the above-quoted statements appearing in the labeling, regarding the curative or therapeutic effects of the said articles, were false and fraudu- lent, in that the articles did not contain any ingredient or combination of in- gredients capable of producing the results claimed. On October 21, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of the court was entered, with respect to the Craemer's celebrated compound, finding it to be misbranded and ordering its destruction by the United States- marshal. On the same date, no claimant having appeared for the Craemer's calculus corrective, a decree of condemnation was entered with respect to the- said product, and it was ordered by the court that it be destroyed by the- United States marshal.
