On February 9, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District
of Georgia filed a libel against 96 retail packages of 666 Nose Drops at.
Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce
on or about July 31, 1939, and January IS, 1940, by the Monticello Drug Co.
from Jacksonville, Fla.; and charging that it was misbranded in that its con-
tainers were so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading.
On February 28, 1940, the Monticello Drug Co. appeared as claimant and
filed an answer denying the misbranding alleged in the libel. On March 11,
1940, an order was entered in the Northern District of Georgia removing the
cause for trial to the Southern District of Georgia. On June 24, 1940, the:;
claimant having, ^without prejudice, withdrawn its claim, and answer., and-
having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment was entered condemning
the product, without prejudice, and ordering that it be destroyed and that costs
be taxed against the claimant.
