678. Adnlteration of tincture of digitalis.   V. S. v. 5 Bottles of Tincture Digitalis.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.   (F. D. C. No. 3S71.   Sample
No. 37766-E.)
The potency of this article exceeded by approximately 50 percent the maximum
potency for tincture of digitalis as specified in the United States Pharmacopoeia.
On February 27, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District
of Georgia filed a libel against 5 bottles of tincture of digitalis at Atlanta, Ga.t
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or labout
December 9, 1940, by the Standard Pharmaceutical Corporation from Baltimore,
Md.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it purported to be and was
represented- as a drug the name of which is recognized in the United States
Pharmacopoeia, an official compendium, but its strength differed from the stand-
ard set forth in such compendium. It was labeled in part: "Tincture Digitalis
U. S. P."
On January 5, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
