772. Adulteration and misbranding- of Ramsdell's Sulphur Cream.    IT. S. v. 129
Packages of Ramsdell's Sulpbur Cream.    Default decree of condemnation
and destruction.     (F. D.   C.  No.   7499.     Sample No.   84378-E.)
This product, in addition to containing a smaller amount of sulfur than that
declared, bore false and misleading therapeutic claims in the labeling.
On May 15, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey
filed a libel against 129 packages of Ramsdell's Sulphur Cream at Newark, N. J.,
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about
April 22, 1942, by E. Fougera & Co., Inc., from New York, N. Y.; and charging
that it was adulterated and misbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that its strength differed from
that which it purported or was represented to possess, namely, "Contains 10-
Precipitated Sulphur."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that certain statements in the labeling,
which represented that it would be efficacious in the treatment of scabies, eczema,
ringworm, itching, simple acne, acne rosacea, burning and soreness in eczema,
"Jock-Strop itch," barber's itch, and water rash; and that it would be efficacious
in the treatment of bald spots and falling hair, were false and misleading since
it would not be efficacious for such purposes.
On July 7, 1942, no claimant haying appeared, judgment of condemnation was
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
