789. Misbranding:   of Wise's Kollesol Tablets.     U.   S.  v.  45   Bottles  of Wise's
Kollesol   Tablets;.     Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 7126.    Sam-pie No. 92501-E.)
On April 1, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District of Cali-
fornia filed a libel against 45 bottles, each containing 300 tablets, of Wise's
Kollesol at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped on or
about January 22, 1942, by Wise's K. C. Homeopathic Pharmacy from Kansas
City, Mo.; and charging that it was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of
oxyquinoline sulfate, potassium sulfate, and lactose.
it would eliminate bacteria, guard against toxins and ptomaines, promote healing,
provide healthy granulation with a minimum of scar tissue, keep lesions from
becoming infected, and control hemorrhage; that it would prevent diphtheria and
other infections, both external and internal; that it would be useful in surgery,
obstetrics, and gynecology as an all purpose antiseptic, would be useful for
sterilizing instruments, for intrauterine use after removal of retained placental
tissue, postpartum infection, or after curettage; that it was an adequate medica-
tion in dentistry for tootache, pyorrhea, trench mouth, gingivitis, bad teeth, and
ulcerations of the buccal cavity; that it was an appropriate treatment for diseases
of the eye, ear, nose, and throat including tonsillitis, septic sore throat and
diphtheria; for conditions of the gastro-intestinal tract such as stomach ulcers,
colitis, diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid fever, amoebic dysentery; conditions of the
genito-urinary tract such as cystitis, balanitis, gonorrhea, chancroid, and
syphilitic lesions; and for skin conditions including varicose ulcers, carbuncles,
boils, burns, scalds, erysipelas, and athlete's foot, were false and misleading since
it would not be efficacious for such purposes.
,    On April 22,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
