Solution   Citrate of Magnesia U.  S. P.    Default decree of condemnation
and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 7397.   Sample No. 79270-E.)
On April 27, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
Indiana filed a libel against the above-named product at Richmond, Ind., alleging
that it had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 26, 1942,
by Gordon Pharmacal Co. from Cincinnati, Ohio; and charging that it was
misbranded in that it was a laxative and its labeling failed to warn that a
laxative should not be taken in case of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or
other symptoms of appendicitis, and that frequent or continued use of a laxative
might result in dependence upon laxatives to move the bowels.
On June 4, 1942, no claimant haying appeared, judgment of condemnation was
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
