On April 1, 1912, the United States Attorney for the District of?
Maryland, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district an?
information against B. Lucien Brun, trading as the L. Fagret Co.,?
Baltimore., Md., alleging shipment by him, in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act, on August 27, 1910, from the State of Maryland?
into the District of Columbia of a consignment of Fagret's Hair?
Tonic which was misbranded. The product was labeled: (On bottle)?
" Established 1850. Fagret's Hair Tonic * * * It not only keeps?
the hair from falling out but also from turning gray * * * Pre??
pared only by Mme. L. Fagret Devouges, specialist, hair and scalp,?
832 N. Howard street, Baltimore, Md. None genuine unless name?
blown in bottle." (On carton, Sample 1) " Fagret's Hair Tonic with?
oil Prevents Baldness, makes the hair grow; " (On carton, Sample 2)?
" Fagret's Hair Tonic Prevents Baldness, makes the hair grow/'
Analysis of samples of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of?
this Department showed the following results: (Sample 1) Reaction?
to litmus, slightly acid; nonvolatile matter, 7.81 per cent; ash, 0.01?
per cent; alcohol (by volume), 55.40 per cent; alkaloid (probably?
pilocarpin), 0.05 per cent; castor oil, 8.66 per cent; water, glycerin,?
favors, and undetermined matter, 46.52 per cent. (Sample 2) Reac??
tion to litmus, slightly acid; nonvolatile matter., 0.84 per cent; ash,?
0.01 per cent; alcohol (by volume )^ 57.40 per cent; alkaloid (prob??
ably pilocarpin), 0.05 per cent; water, glycerin, flavors, and unde??
termined matter (by difference), 52.84 per cent. Misbranding was?

tained therein.

information and the court imposed a fine of $5.
