the article in the leaflets were false and misleading, since they represented and 
suggested that the article would be effective to cause loss of body weight, to 
prevent hunger, to insure health, and to furnish the average adult with the 
minimum daily requirements for vitamins and minerals, whereas the article 
would not be effective for such purposes.

tions of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was
ordered released under bond to be brought into compliance with the law, under
