1050. Misbranding of Mutual Compound.    U. S. v. Joseph C. Wlnslow and Stephen
R. Wlnslow (Mutual Products Co.).    Plea of guilty.    Fine, $100.     (F. D,
C. No. 8752.    Sample No. 76895-E.)
On February 6, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota
filed an information against Joseph C. Winslow and Stephen R. "Wlnslow, trading
as the Mutual Products Co., Minneapolis, Minn., alleging shipment on or about
March 3, 1942, from the State of Minnesota into the State of Wisconsin of a
quantity of a drug known as Mutual Compound which was misbranded.
Analysis of the article showed that it consisted essentially of a mixture of
wheat, corn, and oat products, dry milk, small amounts of salt, sugar, reducing
sugars, yeast, iodide, calcium, iron, phosphate compounds, anise, and resinous
material.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements appearing in
its labeling which represented and suggested that it would help build resistance
to colds and worms in pigs; that it would aid in the prevention of ordinary
scours; that it would be efficacious in the treatment of scours in calves; that it
would tend to free pigs from worms; and that it would prevent disease in chicks
and keep them free from worms and reduce death losses among the chicks were
false and misleading since the article would not be efficacious for the purposes
recommended.
It was also alleged to be misbranded under the provisions of the law applicable
to foods as reported in notices of judgment on foods, No. 5688.
On February 6, 1943, the defendants entered a plea of guilty and the court
imposed a fine of $100, which was applicable to both defendants.
