21807. Misbranding of Schultz Liquid-Tone. IT. S. v. Ferdinand Henry 
Schultz (Schultz Chemical Co.). Plea of guilty. Fine, $200 and 
costs.    (F. & D. no. 30276.    Sample no. 6338-A.)
Examination of the drug preparation, Schultz Liquid-Tone, disclosed that it 
contained no ingredient or combination of ingredients capable of producing 
certain curative and therapeutic effects claimed in the labeling.
On October 31, 1933, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Iowa, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against Ferdinand Henry Schultz, trading as the Schultz 
Chemical Co., Council Bluffs, Iowa, alleging shipment by said defendant on or 
about August 3, 1932, from the State of Iowa into the State of Nebraska, of 
a quantity of Schultz Liquid-Tone that was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article by this Department showed that it con- 
sisted essentially of small proportions of copper sulphate, sodium thiosulphate, 
potassium hydroxide, carbonates, phenols, glycerin, anise oil, and water, colored 
with caramel.
It was alleged in the information that the article was misbranded in that 
certain statements, designs, and devices regarding the curative and therapeutic 
effects of the article, appearing on the label of the drum containing the article, 
falsely and fraudulently represented that it was effective as a treatment for 
sick hogs; effective as a preventive treatment against disease; effective as a 
preventive treatment of germ diseases in brood sows; effective as a treatment 
following vaccination to prevent any breaks on account of lowered vitality in
pigs; effective aa a treatment following vaccination to put stock hogs in good 
shape; and effective as a treatment for necro and flu.
On January 23,1934, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $200 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
