28349. Misbranding of Nomoppin.    TJ. S. -v. 11 Bottles and 34 Bottles of Nomop-
?in.    Default  decree   of  condemnation  and  destruction.     (F.   &  D.  No. 
0909.    Sample Nos. 54356-C, 54357-C.)
The labeling of this veterinary product contained false and fraudulent 
representations regarding its curative or therapeutic effects.
On or about November 29, 1937, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District İf Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 45 bottles of 
McMillan's Nomoppin at Augusta, Ga., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 18, 1937, by the McMillan 
Drug Oo. from Columbia, S. C, and charging misbranding in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act as amended.
Analysis showed that the article consisted essentially of arsenic trioxide 
(2 grams per 100 cubic centimeters), a small proportion of potassium car- 
bonate, and water.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the bottle labels and a circular 
shipped with a portion of the article bore false and fraudulent representations 
regarding its effectiveness as an internal preventive and remedy for chicken 
sorehead and as a tonic.
On January 17, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HAEBY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
