1605)2. Adulteration and misbranding of ampuls of Endoquin (quinine 
hydrochloride), Endoferarsan with glycerophosphates (iron ar- 
senic and glycerophosphates), Endoferarsan (iron and arsenic), 
and emetine hydrochloride. TJ. S. v. Intravenous Products Co. of 
America (Inc.). Plea of guilty. Fine, $200. (F. & D. No. ?2577, 
I. S. Nos. 14831-x, 16037-x, 16038-x, 16039-x.)
On October 15, 1928, the United States 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 an information against the 
Intravenous Products Co. of America (Inc.), a corporation, New York, N. Y., 
alleging shipment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act, from 
the State of New York into the State of New Jersey, on or about February 26, 
1927, of a quantity of Endoquin (quinine hydrochloride), on or about May 29, 
1926, of a quantity of Endoferarsan with glycerophosphates (iron arsenic and 
glycerophosphates), on or about August 20, 1926, of quantities of Endoferarsan 
(iron and arsenic), and emetine hydrochloride, which said products were 
adulterated and misbranded. The articles were contained in ampuls, labeled in 
part respectively: "Endoquin (Quinine Hydrochloride)," "Endoferarsan with 
Glycerophosphates (Iron Arsenic and Glycerophosphates)," "Endoferarsan 
(Iron and Arsenic)," "Emetine Hydrochloride," and "Intravenous Products 
Company of America, Inc., New York," and bore the further statements as 
hereinafter set forth.
It was alleged in the information that the articles were adulterated in that 
their strength and purity fell below the professed standard and quality under 
which they were sold in that 5 mils of the Endoquin (quinine hydrochloride) 
was represented to contain 0.5 gram (7% grains) of quinine hydrochloride, 
whereas 5 mils of the said Endoquin contained not more than 0.3661 gram (5.65 
grains) of quinine hydrochloride; 5 mils of the Endoferarsan with glycero- 
phosphates was represented to contain 0.005 gram (1 grain) of ferric dime- 
thylarsenate, whereas 5 mils of the said Endoferarsan with glycerophosphates 
contained not more than 0.0333 gram (0.51 grain) of ferric dimethylarsenate; 
5 mils of the Endoferarsan was represented to contain 0.065 gram (1 grain) of 
ferric dimethylarsenate and 0.2 gram (3 grains) of sodium dimethylarsenate, 
which represents an equivalent of 0.1234 gram (1.9 grains) total arsenic 
trioxide, whereas 5 mils of said Endoferarsan contained less ferric dimethyl- 
arsenate and sodium dimethylarsenate than represented, namely, not more 
than the equivalent of 0.0208 gram (0.32 grain) of total arsenic trioxide; and 
5 mils of the emetine hydrochloride was represented to contain 32 milligrams 
(one-half grain) of emetine hydrochloride, whereas 5 mils of said emetine 
hydrochloride contained not more than 0.0194 gram (0.3 grain) of emetine 
hydrochloride.
Misbranding of the articles was alleged for the reason that the statements, 
to wit, "Five mils represent Quinine Hydrochloride 0.5 gram (7% grains)," 
with respect to the Endoquin, " Five mils represent Ferric Dimethylarsenate 
0.065 gram (1 grain)," with respect to the Endoferarsan with glycerophos- 
phates, "Five mils represent Ferric Dimethylarsenate 0.065 gram (1 grain), 
Sodium Dimethylarsenate 0.2 gram (3 grains)." with respect to the Endo- 
ferarsan. and "Five mils represent 32 milligrams (V> gr.) of Emetine Hydro- 
chloride," with respect, to the emetine hydrochloride, borne on the labels 
attached to the ampuls containing the respective articles, were false and mis- 
leading in that the said statements represented that the articles contained the 
said ingredients in the proportions declared on the labels, whereas they did 
not, but contained the said ingredients in a less amount than so'declared.
On November 14, 1928, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company, and the court imposed a fine of $200.
