On July 8, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of Vir-
ginia filed a libel against the above-named products at Galax, Va., alleging that
they had been shipped on or about May 16, 1940, by the National Hog Remedy
Co. from Raleigh, N. C.; and charging that they were misbranded.
Analyses of samples of the articles showed that the Hog Remedy consisted
essentially of sodium thiosulfate, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium bicar-
bonate, iron sulfate, antimony sulfide, fenugreek, flaxseed meal, charcoal, and
lime; the Horse, Cow, and Mule Remedy consisted essentially of sodium chloride,
sodium thiosulfate, iron sulfate, antimony sulfide, fenugreek, flaxseed meal, a
cereal plant, charcoal, and lime; and the Dog Worm Powder consisted essentially
of sodium chloride, sodium thiosulfate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfate, iron
sulfate, antimony sulfide, fenugreek, flaxseed meal, and charcoal.
The Hog Remedy was alleged to be misbranded in that representations in the
labeling that it was a powerful tonic, flesh builder, and anthelmintic, and that
it would be efficacious in the prevention and treatment of disease conditions of
swine, were false and misleading, since it would not be efficacious for such
purposes.
The Horse, Cow, and Mule Remedy was alleged to be misbranded in that rep-
resentations in the labeling that it was a medicinal tonic, conditioner, flesh
builder, blood alterative or blood purifier, and worm remover, and that it would
increase milk production and promote health, were false and misleading, since
it would not be efficacious for such purposes.
The Dog Worm Remedy was alleged to be misbranded in that representations
in the labeling that it would be efficacious in the removal of all species of worms
infesting dogs, were false and misleading, since it would not be efficacious for
such purposes.
and their labels failed to bear the common or usual name of each active ingredient.?,-
On January 14, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation?(
was entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
