NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 502 (a), certain statements on the
carton and bottle labels and in a leaflet enclosed in the carton were false
and misleading since they represented and suggested that the article would
be effective in the relief of pains associated with rheumatism, arthritis, neu-
ritis, and lumbago; that it would be effective to relieve disturbances of
vitamin deficiency and poor health associated with such conditions; and that
it was a new and especially prepared formula for such conditions. The article
would not be effective for these purposes, and it was not a new and especially
prepared formula for such conditions.
