CHARGE : 502 (a)—the labeling accompanying the article while held for sale con- 
tained false and misleading representations that the article provided an ade- 
quate and effective treatment for arthritis, "other chronic diseases," multiple 
sclerosis, bursitis, and deafness; and, 502 (f) (1)—the labeling of the article 
when shipped failed to bear adequate directions for use in the treatment of the 
diseases and conditions for which it was intended, namely, arthritis, "other 
chronic diseases," multiple sclerosis, bursitis, and deafness.
DISPOSITION : Victor H. Baker, Lone Rock, Wis., the owner of the article, ap- 
peared as claimant and filed an answer admitting that the article was trans- 
ported unlabeled in interstate commerce but denying that the article was 
misbranded as alleged in the libel. Thereafter, a motion for summary judg- 
ment was filed by the Government and was granted by the court on 6-24-55, on 
the ground that there was no genuine issue as to any material fact. On the 
same day, the court entered a judgment of forfeiture and ordered that the 
article be destroyed.
