664. Misbranding of Bosak's Horke Vino. TJ. S. v. 4% Dozen Bottles of Bosak's Horke Vino. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 6395. Sample No. 74943-E.) The labeling of this product failed to bear adequate directions for use and failed to bear a statement revealing the name and quantity of strychnine present in the article and also bore false and misleading therapeutic claims. On December 17, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York filed a libel against 4? dozen bottles of Bosak's Horke Vino at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- merce on or about September 4 and December 3, 1941, by Gold Seal Manufactur- ing Company from Scranton, Pa.; and charging that it was misbranded. Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of small proportions of aloin and strychnine, alcohol, and water. The article was alleged to be misbranded: (1) In that its labeling did not bear adequate directions for use since it was a laxative preparation and the directions for use were inadequate for a laxative preparation, and in that the directions failed to place a limitation on the period of time for taking the recommended daily dosage. (2) In that the following statements appearing in the labeling, "Nature's Tonic * * * This Tonic has been found a valuable aid in cases of Indigestion, Dyspepsia * * * Nervousness, General Debility, and in other derangements of the digestive organs," and also "These goods are labeled to conform to requirements of New Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law, which is effective June 25th, 1989," were false and misleading since it was not a tonic, it did not possess natural tonic properties bestowed by nature, it was not a valuable aid in the case of indigestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, general debility, and any other derangements of the digestive organs, and it was not labeled to conform to the requirements of the law. (3) In that strychnine was / one of its ingredients and its label failed to bear the name and quantity of such ingredient. On January 14, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
