98. Misbranding of Saurinol.    TJ. S. ?. 6 Bottles of Saurinol.    Default decree
of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 269.    Sample No. 56160-D.)
The labeling of this product bore false and misleading representations regard-
ing its efficacy as a relief from sinus, hay fever, exposed cancer, varicose veins,
pyorrhea, trench mouth, laceration, ulcers, and skin diseases.
On July 7, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
California filed a libel against five bottles of Saurinol at Oakland, Calif ..alleging
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 22,
1939, by Saurinol Distributors Corporation; and charging that it was misbranded
for the reasons stated above.
Analysis showed that the article consisted essentially of medium boiling
petroleum oil.
On November 80, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna-
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
