On October 11,1944, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona filed
a libel against 13 100-capsule bottles of the above-mentioned product at Phoenix,
Ariz., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about July 8, 1944, by Boyle
and Co., Los Angeles, Calif.
Examination showed that the article contained approximately 50,000 U; S. P.
units of vitamin D per capsule.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that it was dangerous to health
when used in the dosage and with the frequency and duration prescribed, recom-
mended, and suggested by the labeling, namely, "One capsule 4 times a day for
first month, increasing a capsule a day per week up to 10 capsules per day."
On November 21,1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
