LIBEL FJLED :   March 12,1946, Northern District of Illinois.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about December 1*5, 1945, by the Timball Liniment
Co., from Detroit, Mich.
PRODUCT : 6 1-pint bottles of The Ball Solution at Chicago, 111., together with
6 pamphlets entitled "Facts The Ball Solution * * * A Positive Solution
to the Bad Leg Problem," which were shipped with the product. Examina-
tion showed that the product consisted essentially of alcohol 57.1 percent,,
water, iodine, and potassium iodide, with a small proportion of methyl
salicylate.
LABEL, IN PART : "The Ball Solution, * * * A Bone and Muscle Remedy."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 502 (a), certain statements on the
label of the article and in the pamphlets were false and misleading since they
represented and suggested that the article would be effective as a remedy for
disease conditions of horses involving the bones and muscles; that it would
be effective to relieve fever, pain, swelling, and lameness; and that it would
be effective in the treatment of bucked shin, big knee, sprains, sore tendons,
speedy cuts, osslets, curbs, splints, and ring-bone. The article would not be
effective for such purposes.
Further misbranding, Section 502 (e), the article was fabricated from two
or more ingredients, and its label failed to bear an accurate declaration of
the quantity or proportion of the alcohol contained therein.
DISPOSITION:    May 14, 1946.   No claimant having appeared, judgment of con-
demnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
