tles of Tex Bailey's Nu-Iiife. Default decree of condemnation, 
forfeiture, and destruction.     (P. & D. No. 21145.    S. No. E-5744.)
On June 22, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- 
setts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of llM dozen bottles of Tex Bailey's Nu-Life, shipped March 24, 
1926, and remaining in the original unbroken packages at Boston, Mass., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by the Tex Bailey Corp., Troy, N. Y., 
and transported from the State of New York into the State of Massachusetts, 
and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act as amended.
Analysis by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of a sample of the 
article showed that it consisted essentially of water, Epsom salt, iron chloride, 
salicylic acid, saccharin, extracts of plant drugs including capsicum and senna, 
and was flavored with volatile oil including sassafras oil.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
following statements regarding its curative and therapeutic effects were false 
and fraudulent, since the said article contained no ingredient or combination 
of ingredients capable of producing the effects claimed: (Bottle label) "Nu-

Blood Diseases, whether inherited or contracted, are a most dangerous menace 
to the health of a person. Not only do they make one unsightly by making 
their appearance in the form of Eruptions, Pimples, Scald Head or Syphilitic 
Humors, but they gradually undermine the health, seriously affecting the brain 
and nervous system. Nu-Life Remedy has helped many who have had blood 
troubles. Do You Suffer With Rheumatism? * * * Whether the disease 
be Chronic, Inflammatory or Gonorrhea Rheumatism, there is no remedy like 
Nu-Life Remedy * * * Have You Dyspepsia? try Nu-Life Remedy. For 
all disorders of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels; for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, 
Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Intermittent and other Malarial Fevers * * * Did 
you ever have a kink in your back? Do you find it difficult to bend over? Do 
you experience excruciating pains in the small of your back when rising from 
a chair or changing from one position to another? Were the kidneys strong 
and healthy instead of being weak, this form of backache would be unknown.

any impurity. When your stomach is dirty * * * When the bowels are

when the organs peculiar to them are dirty * * * these things are accom- 
panied by foul smelling odors which indicate more clearly than anything else 
that some part of the body is dirty. That is, it is unclean. It is clogged up 
with impurities. It must be rid of these impurities and poisons which we call 
dirt, before it can get well. Use Nu-Life to get rid of bodily dirt. * * *

of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product 
be destroyed by the United States marshal.
