449. Adulteration and misbranding- of solution of citrate of magnesia.    IT. S. v.
137 Bottles of Solution of Citrate of Magnesia.     Default decree of con-
demnation and destruction.    ?F. D. C No. 34=82.    Sample No. 20499-E.)
This product contained less magnesium citrate and less citric acid than the
amounts required by the United States Pharmacopoeia. Its labeling also failed
to bear a statement of the quantity of the contents or a warning against its
use in those pathological conditions where its use might be dangerous to health.
On November 23, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
Georgia filed a libel against 137 bottles of the above-named product at Augusta,
Ga., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about Septem-
ber 10,1940, by the McMillan Drug Co. from Columbia, S. C; and charging that
it was adulterated and misbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be or was
represented as a drug, the name of which is recognized in the United States
Pharmacopoeia, and its strength differed from the standard set forth therein.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it was a drug in paekage form and
the label failed to bear an accurate
 statement of the quantity of contents;
and in that the labeling failed to bear adequate warnings against use in those
pathological conditions where its use might be dangerous to bealth as might be
necessary for the protection of users.
On January 1, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
