94. Adulteration and misbranding of quinine sulfate.    TJ. S. v. 324 Bottles of
?nlnlne    Sulfate.    Default    decree    of   condemnation    and   destruction.?F. D. C. No. 645.    Sample No. 65806-D.)
The strength, quality, and purity of this product differed from that which
it purported to possess. Furthermore, its containers were deceptive, since their
contents occupied less than one-half the capacity of the bottle.
On September 6, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District
of Georgia filed a libel against 324 bottles of quinine sulfate at Waycross, Ga.,
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
July 13, 1939, by Davis Manufacturing Co., Inc., from Knoxville, Tenn.; and
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded.
Adulteration was alleged In that the article purported to be and was repre-
sented as a drug, the name of which is recognized in the official United States
Pharmacopoeia, namely, quinine sulfate, with 10 percent more water than
that set forth in the standard for said drug, and in that its strength differed
from and its quality and purity fell below that which it purported or was
represented to possess.
Misbranding was alleged in that the statement on the label, "Quinine Sul-
phate U. S. P. X Contains 10? more water than U. S. P. XI," was false and
misleading, since the article did not conform to the U. S. P. X requirement for
quinine sulfate, and did not contain 10 percent more water than the U. S. P. XI
quinine sulfate. It was alleged to be misbranded further in that its containers
were so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading.
On October 18, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
