24065. Adulteratlon and misbranding of spirit of camphor, Ilanefled car- 
bolic  acid,  and  cascaru  aromatic.    U.   S.  v.   60  Bottles   of  Spirit 
Camphor,  et   al.    Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruc- 
tion.     (F. & D. nos. 33073 to 33077, incl.    Sample nos. 66468-A to 66472-A, | 
incl.)
This case involved shipments of 2 lots of spirit of camphor, 2 lots of lique- 
fied carbolic acid, and 1 lot of cascara aromatic, all of which were labeled 
" U. S. P." One of the shipments of spirit of camphor was found to have a 
specific gravity in excess of the maximum provided in the United States Phar- 
macopoeia. Both lots of liquefied carbolic acid were found to yield, upon evap- 
oration, excessive residue. The cascara aromatic contained less alcohol than 
provided in the pharmacopoeia. Both lots of the spirit of camphor and lique- 
fied carbolic acid were short volume. The labeling of all products contained 
unwarranted curative and therapeutic claims.
On July 23, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 125 bottles 
of spirit of camphor, 112 bottles of liquefied carbolic acid, and 126 bottles 
of cascara aromatic at Shreveport, La., alleging that the articles had been 
shipped in interstate commerce in part on or about May 13, 1933, and in part 
on or about February 16, 1934, by the El-Dee Manufacturing Co., from Alton,
