450. Misbranding of National Peerless Remedy.     TJ. S. v. 23 Bottles of National
Peerless   Remedy.     Default   deeree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 3512.    Sample No. 50103-B.)
The label of this product not only failed to bear adequate directions and
warning statements but also the common or usual name of each of the active
ingredients, which included extracts of plant drugs including aloe.
On December 13, 1940, the United States attorney for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania filed a libel against 23 bottles of National Peerless Remedy at
Chambersburg, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped by the National
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Co. from Baltimore, Md., on or about June 20,
1940; and charging that it was misbranded.
It was-alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the label failed to bear adequate
directions for use; (2) in that the label failed to bear adequate warnings
against use in those pathological conditions where its use might be dangerous to
health or against unsafe dosage or duration of administration in such manner
and form as are necessary for the protection of users; and (3) in that the label
failed to bear the common or usual name of each active ingredient.
On June 16, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
