Drops.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D.  C.  No.
1741.    Sample No. 622-B.)
The bottle and carton labels of this product bore false and misleading
representations regarding its efficacy in the conditions indicated below. Fur-
thermore, the bottles contained smaller quantities of the product than that
declared on the label; and they occupied less than 33 percent of the capacity
of the cartons.
On April 3, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Georgia filed a libel against 426 packages of Premo Nasal Drops at Atlanta,
Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or?(^
about  December  26,   1939,  by the  Premo  Pharmaceutical Laboratories from:
New York, N, Y.; and charging that it was misbranded.
sentations that it would aid in temporarily relieving the discomfort of nasal
catarrh and that it was efficacious in the relief of mucous inflammation, which
were false and misleading since it was not efficacious for the purposes for
which it was so recommended.
It was alleged to be misbranded further in that the statements (bottle)
"? Fid. Oz." and (carton) "? Fluid Ounce" were false and misleading since
the volume was less than ? fluid ounce. It was alleged to be misbranded
further in that its containers were so made, formed, or filled as to be mis-
leading.
On April 20, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
