RESULTS OP INVESTIGATION: Diethylstilbestrol intended for feeding to cattle 
for increasing their weight is regarded as a "new drug" ingredient.
Vitamins, Inc., filed a new-drug application for the article on 6-10-55 and 
submitted data concerning the use made of the article by the consignee, Garst 
Co., Coon Rapids, Iowa. These data were verified by information obtained, by 
Food and Drug inspectors and showed that Garst Co. mixed the diethylstil- 
bestrol preparation with cattle feed and fed the resultant mixture to its animals 
for fattening purposes, and showed further that no scientific tests of any real 
nature were conducted in connection with the feeding. In such circumstances, 
the new-drug application was not made effective.
LIBELED :    On or about 3-8-56, N. Dist. Iowa.
CHARGE: 502 (f) (1)-the label of the article, when shipped and while held

used and was not being used only in the manufacture of a new drug limited 
to investigational use as provided in the regulations.
