1387. Misbranding: of Rolle Garlic and Parsley with Honey.   U. S. v. 144 Bottles
of Rolle Garlic and Parsley with Honey, and a quantity of circulars.
Default decree of destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 12251.   Sample No. 40288-F.)
On July 19, 1944, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota
filed a libel against 144 4-ounce bottles of the above-named article and a
quantity of circulars at Faribault, Minn., alleging that the article had been
shipped on or about March 2, 1943, and April 6, 1944, by Rolle Vegetable Juices,
Inc., from Chicago, 111.
Examination showed that the product was essentially a sweetened water
extract of garlic and parsley.
The article was alleged to be misbranded because of false and misleading
statements in accompanying circulars entitled "Rolle Garlic and Parsley with
Honey" regarding its efficacy as an antiseptic and its efficacy in the treatment of
a wide variety of symptoms, conditions, and diseases, including diarrhea, high
blood pressure, heart and artery diseases, tuberculosis, numbness, dizziness,
pneumonia, shortness of breath, and digestive disorders.
On October 6,1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered order-
ing the product destroyed.
