NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 454, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
MISBRANDING OF A DRUG PRODUCT?" MRS. GRAHAM'S DANDRUFF
CURE."
On or about February 26,1909, Mrs. Gervaise Graham, of Chicago,?
111., shipped from the State of Illinois to the State of Tennessee a?
quantity of a drug product labeled " Mrs. Graham's Dandruff Cure."?
Samples from this shipment were procured and analyzed by the?
Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, and?
as the findings of the analyst and report thereon indicated the prod??
uct to be misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906, the Secretary of Agriculture afforded Mrs.?
Gervaise Graham an opportunity for hearing. As it appeared after?
hearings held that said shipment was made in violation of the act, the?
Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to the Attorney-General,?
with a statement of the evidence upon which to base a prosecution.
In due course a criminal information was filed in the District?
Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois?
charging the above shipment and alleging that the product was mis-?
branded within the meaning of the act, in that the label on the bottles?
containing the product, and the circular accompanying said bottles,?
bore the false and misleading statements that the product was " a?
permanent cure for dandruff," and that it was " pure and harmless,"?
when as a matter of fact, it was not a permanent cure for dandruff?
and was not pure and harmless.
On May 16, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to this?
information and the court imposed a fine of $25.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs
Act of June 30, 1906.

Secretary of Agriculture.?
