145. Misbranding of Xeuroine.    U. S. v. 11 Bottles of JTeuroine.    Default decree
of condemnation and destruction.  (F. D. C. No. 1677.    Sample No. 37513-D.)
This product contained sodium bromide and alcohol, and would be dangerous
to health when used in the dosage or with the frequency or duration prescribed,
recommended, or suggested in the labeling. It contained more sodium bromide
and less alcohol than the amounts declared.
On March 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District
of Missouri filed a libel against 11 bottles of Neuroine at Kansas City, Mo.,
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
January 30, 1940, by the Link Chemical Co. from Emporia, Kans.; and charging
that it was misbranded.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the representations in the labeling
that it contained 60 grains of sodium bromide and 25 percent of alcohol, were
false and misleading since the bottle (1 pint) contained very materially more
than 60 grains of sodium bromide and materially less than 25 percent of alcohol.
It was alleged to be misbranded further in that it was dangerous to health
when used in the dosage or with the frequency or duration prescribed, recom-
mended, or suggested in the labeling, which directed a dosage for adults of a
tablespoonful to an ounce, as necessary to control case, with proportionate
dosage for children.
On June 22, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
