22085. Misbranding of Elroy's Six Point Remedy. V. S. v. 34 Packages of 
Six Point Remedy. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, 
and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 32765.    Sample no. 48771-A.)
This case involved a drug product that was labeled with unwarranted cura- 
tive and therapeutic claims.
On May 28, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 34 packages of Elroy's 
Six Point Remedy at Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce, on or about September 27, 1933, by Elroy's Six- Point 
Remedy, from Los Angeles, Calif., and charging misbranding in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act as amended.
Analysis showed that the article consisted essentially of cottonseed oil, 
camphor, turpentine oil, small proportions of other volatile oils and 1.5 grams 
per bottle of quinine sulphate in suspension.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that certain statements in the 
circular shipped with the article falsely and fraudulently represented that it 
was effective as a treatment for arthritis, rheumatism, neuritis, sinus infec- 
tions, catarrh, sore throat, tonsilitis, varicose vein ulcers, sores, running sores, 
pyorrhea, sore and bleeding gums, pleurisy, pneumonia, blisters between the 
toes, sore scalp, and all different forms of rheumatism; as effective in relieving 
congestion in cases of sore throat; and as effective in healing sore lips and 
relieving pain.
On July 5, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
