Default decrees of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. Nos. 90-A, 101.
Sample Nos. 34424-D, 34644-D.)
This drug consisted of the calcium' salts of benzoic acid and cinchophen. It
would be dangerous to health when used in the dosage or with the frequency
prescribed, recommended, and suggested in the labeling, which directed the
dosage of one capsule four times a day, that is, after meals and on retiring.
On November 10 and 23, 1938, the United States attorney for the District
of Maryland filed libels against one package, containing 400 capsules of
Cal-co-cin, at Frederick, Md., and 2 bottles, containing 900 capsules of Cal-co-cin,
at Taneytown, Md.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate
commerce from Philadelphia, Pa., on or about August 17 and October 20, 1938,
by the Crescent-Kelvan Co.; and charging that it was misbranded for the reasons
stated above.
The libels alleged that the article was also misbranded in violation of the
Pood and Drugs Act of 1906, as reported in notice of judgment No. 30202 published
under that act.
On December 5 and December 15, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judg-
ments of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
