On April 3, 1944, the United States attorney for the Western District of New
York filed libels against the above-mentioned products at Rochester, N. Y., alleg-
ing that the articles had been shipped on or about September 25, 1943, by the
Anacin Co., from Jersey City, N. J.
The articles were alleged to be misbranded in that certain statements in the
labeling were misleading. The articles were also alleged to be misbranded
under the provisions of law applicable to foods, as reported in notices of judg-
ment on foods, No. 7902, in which are set forth in full the results of analyses

ucts were ordered released under bond, conditioned that the display cards
be destroyed.
