decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. No
21164.    I. S. No. 10564-x.    S. No. W-1994.)
On July 13, 1926, the United Stated Attorney for the Northern District of 
California, 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 
condemnation of 16 dozen boxes of Dr. McMichael's Allgland with radium, 
remaining in the original unbroken packages at San Francisco, Calif., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by the Carnotite Gland Extract Co., from 
Denver, Colo., August 30, 1924, and transported from the State of Colorado 
into the State of California, 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 the tablets contained 91 per cent of milk sugar, together 
with talc, a trace of nitrogenous organic matter, and a faint trace of radium.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the rea- 
son that the following statements borne on the box label and in the accom- 
panying booklet: (Box label) "Allgland * * * The Great Body Builder1 
Makes Tou Feel Younger * * * A Gland And Body Food Eliminating, Pre- 
venting And Correcting All Diseases Caused By Over Work, Nervous Or Run- 
down Conditions Makes You A Healthy Man, Woman, Or Child," (booklet) "in 
all weakened or rundown condition of the Human Glands, Muscles and Nerves
* * * Now we are sure of the results in the relief or prevention of most all 
diseases.    *    *    *    stimulates the nerves, muscles and glands.    *    *    *    gives
* *    *    relief to all mankind, makes you Stronger, More Vigorous, More Peppy
* * * They sure make stronger men and women. If You Are A Man and 
lack the Vigor, Energy and Push you should have; if you feel older than you 
should; if suffering from any after effects of any disease-flu, pneumonia, over- 
work or nervous breakdown-you will find relief in our  Allgland Tablets:
* * * As a rejuvenator for man or woman * * * If You Are A Woman 
you may suffer from some of the ills peculiar to your sex, such as weakness, 
irregularities, despondency or lack of energy. If so you will find Allgland 
Tablets the true remedy for any female trouble. Also Fibroid Tumors, Inflam- 
mations, Enlargement of the Neck, Irregular Monthlies, Hot Flashes, feeling 
as though you would blow up, urinating too often, and, in fact, any and all 
diseases coming on at any time of life, old or young. Take one tablet every 
three hours until a feeling of relief, which is from two to four days, then a 
tablet three times a day kept up for a long time. Where there is or might 
develop a cancerous condition, write the medical director. Most women as 
they enter the fortieth year of age commence a change of gland action. This 
stopping of the action of some glands causes nature to start up more action 
in some other glands. Nature sometimes does not do this, for the reason that 
the right gland food is not supplied, or if supplied, is not in a form to be 
taken into the system, or from this same cause, may overwork some other 
gland, thereby creating a greater unbalance, so that nervous diseases and 
others start. There will be hot flashes, nervousness or neurosis of all nerves. 
The mind gets weak but excitable. Fibroid tumors, etc., may start. If these 
patients will take Allgland steadily for a few years they will pass through this 
time of life without trouble. They will prevent as well as relieve all such 
troubles. If You have a daughter or son who is troubled with Pimples On The 
Face they will get relief by taking Allgland Tablets. * * * The cause of 
this trouble is a Glandular Unbalance, showing that they are not developing

a
as they should.   The correcting of this trouble by Nature's Remedy, Allgland *
Tablets   does more good and prevents other troubles in later years.    Lack of ;
Development in Children * * * A child that overgrows shows that the 
alandular system is unbalanced just as much as an undergrowth does, and the 
same treatment applies to both. If you are all run-down and worn out, take 
two tablets before meals and at bedtime. They will make you a stronger man 
or woman and will make you feel younger. * * * As soon as you notice

diseases It prevents diseases or it gives relief in all diseased conditions. It 
has proved very successful in Diabetes, Bright's Disease, Hardened Blood Ves- 
sels High Blood Pressure, getting old too soon, all Rundown Conditions from 
diseases or overwork or worry, Hot Flashes or any Female Trouble. The best 
thing for Goitre in young women, a real developer of children both in body 
and brain and a real rejuvenator. They make you a healthy, real man, woman 
and child If anything ails you take them, they will do no harm," were false 
and fraudulent, since the said article contained no ingredient or combination 
of ingredients capable of producing the curative and therapeutic effects claimed. 
On November 5, 1926, 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.
