PRODUCT: 5 tubes of Vrilium Catalytic Barium Chloride at Wyandotte, Mich.,
together with 5 labels reading, in part, "Vrilium Catalytic Barium Chloride
in combination with slight quantities of other elements," and 5 leaflets en-
titled "General Directions." Examination showed that the product was a
small metal pencil-shaped tube containing a glass vial of a white granular
substance. Tests of a sample showed that it was entirely devoid of radio-
activity (emanations).

leaflets were false and misleading since they represented and suggested that
the article would be effective to give forth emanations having physiological
value; and that it would be effective in the treatment of conditions involving
the sinuses, bronchial tubes, thyroid, low red blood corpuscle count, injuries,
burns,-and illness in general. The article would not be effective for such
purposes.

demnation was entered and the product and printed matter were ordered
delivered to the Food and Drug Administration.
