26507. Misbranding of Neurosine. TT. S. v. 24 Dozen Bottles of Neurosine. 
Consent decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 86859. 
Sample no. 32448-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of Neurosine. The names and the 
quantities or proportions of certain substances, appearing on the package and 
label, purported to be the complete formula of the article; whereas the article
contained a large proportion of bromides, the principal active ingredients, the 
presence of which was not mentioned on the package or label.
On December 26, 1935, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Tennessee, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 24 dozen bottles of 
Neurosine at Memphis, Tenn., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about December 6, 1935, by the Dios Chemical Co., 
from St. Louis, Mo., and that it was misbranded in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the package 
and label, ".075 Gr. Per Oz. Each. Ext. Henbane and Pl. Ext. Belladonna .060 
Gr. Per Oz. Oil Bitter Almonds .60 Gr. Per Oz. F. Ext. Cannabis Indica", was 
false and misleading, since the article contained a large proportion of bromides 
not mentioned as ingredients of the article.
On June 20, 1936, the claimant having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be 
destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
