This product contained aminopyrine, sodium salicylate, compounds of mag-
nesium and calcium, citrates and carbonates, sugar, and water. 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 directed that
1 tabiespoonful or 4 teaspoonfuls be taken in water, milk, or orange juice, fol-
lowed by a full glass of water or milk, 3 times a day before or after meals or on
retiring, and that the dose be cut down "if the ears ring or if allergic."
On March 9 and March 25, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western
District of Pennsylvania filed libels against 36 bottles of Sodasal at Pittsburgh,
Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
February 18 and 21, 1939, by the Sodasal Laboratories from Detroit, Mich.; and
charging that it was misbranded for the reasons stated above.
The libels charged that the article was also misbranded in violation of the
Food and Drugs Act of 1906, reported in notice of judgment No. 80895 published
under that act.
On April 17, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation
were entered and the product was ordered destroyed
