LIBEL FILED :    June 11, 1951, District of Massachusetts.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT:    On or about April 26, 1951, by Standard Drug Co., Inc.,
from Newark, N. J.
PRODUCT:   4   1-gallon bottles of tincture of belladonna at Worcester, Mass.
Analysis showed that the article yielded from each 100 cc. not more than 16.3
mg. of the alkaloids of belladonna leaf.
LABEL, IN PART :    "Quality   Purity   Standard Tincture of Belladonna   U. S. P."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 501 (b), the article purported to be
and was represented as "Belladonna Tincture," a drug the name of which is
recognized in the United States Pharmacopeia, an official compendium, and
its strength differed from the official standard since the article yielded from
each 100 cc. less than 27 mg. of the alkaloids of belladonna leaf, the minimum
permitted by the standard.
Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the label designation "Tincture of Belladonna
U. S. P." was false and misleading as applied to an article which was not
Tincture of Belladonna U. S. P.
DISPOSITION :    July 24, 1951.   Default decree of condemnation and destruction.
