Co.   Plea of guilty.   Fine, $50.    (F. & D. No. 42631.    Sample No. 27528-D.)
This product was represented to contain IT grains of acetanilide per capsule, 
whereas it contained no acetanilide.
On January 5, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against the International Drug Sales Co., a corporation, Denver, 
Colo., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act on or about October 18, 1937, from the State of Colorado into the State of 
Wyoming, of a quantity of Hytest Cold Capsules which were adulterated. 
The article was labeled in part: "Acetanilide 1% Grain Per Capsule."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that its strength fell below the pro- 
fessed standard and quality under which it was sold in that each of the cap- 
sules was represented to contain in grains of acetanilide; whereas they con- 
tained no acetanilide.
On January 27, 1939, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $50.
HAEEY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
