This drug consisted of tablets containing allyl-isopropylacetyl-carbamide. It
would be dangerous to health when used in the dosage, or with the frequency or
duration prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling, which contained
directions that in the daytime one-half tablet be taken two or three times daily
and that at night one or two tablets be taken shortly before bedtime. Its labeling
failed to reveal facts material in the light of the recommended dosage or
material with respect to consequences which might result from its use under the
conditions of use prescribed therein, and failed to bear such adequate warnings
against unsafe dosage or methods or duration of administration or application
in such manner and form as are necessary for the protection of users.

Maryland filed libels against 292 packages of Tablets Sedormid "Roche" at
Baltimore, Md.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com-
merce within the period from on or about January 20 to on or about March 17,
1939, by Hoffmann-La Roche,. Inc., Nutley, N. J.; and charging that it was
misbranded for the reasons appearing hereinbefore.
On May 8 and 17, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgments of con-
demnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
