On or about July 2 and August 8,1909, A. J. Miller, St. Louis, Mo.,?
shipped from the State of Missouri to the District of Columbia two?
boxes of ointment sold as a cancer cure. Samples from these ship??
ments were procured and analyzed in the Bureau of Chemistry,?
United States Department of Agriculture, and as it appeared from?
the findings of the analyst and report thereon that the product was?
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of June?
30, 1906, the Secretary of Agriculture afforded the said A. J. Miller?
and the parties from whom the samples were procured opportunities?
for hearings. As it appeared after hearings held that the said ship??
ments were 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 against the said?
A. J. Miller in the District Court of the United States for the East??
ern District of Missouri, charging the above shipments, and alleging?
the product so shipped to be misbranded, in that said ointment was?
sold as and for a cancer cure, and in that it contained about 31.8 per?
cent of acetanilid, while the container thereof failed to bear a state??
ment on its label of the quantity or proportion of acetanilid contained?
therein, and failed to bear a statement that said ointment contained?
acetanilid.
Upon arraignment, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the?
above information, whereupon the court imposed a fine of $25 and?
costs.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
