had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 1 and 24, 1942, by
Schieffelin & Co. fromJStgsLXork,_]S;: Y. The article was labeled in part: "Nico-
tinic Acid Amide."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that nicotinic acid had been
substituted in whole or in part for nicotinic acid amide.

tinic Acid Amide" was false and misleading, and in that it was offered for sale
under the name of another drug.

ments of condemnation were entered and the courts ordered that the article be
delivered to the Florida State Hospital and to a State hospital at Midgeville,
Ga., after it had been relabeled under the supervision of the Food and Drug
