U. S. * * * v. Allen F. McCord, trading- as tlie Dr. A. Coyle Medi??
cine  Co.     Plea  of  guilty.     Fine,  $10  and  costs.     (F.  & D.  No.  6577.
I. S. No. 6345-h.)
On January 19, 1916, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district an information against?
Allen F. McCord, trading as the Dr. A. Coyle Medicine Co., St. Louis, Mo.,?
alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act,?
as amended, on or about June 13, 1913, from the State of Missouri into the?
State of Illinois, of a quantity of an article labeled in part, " The Cure of?
Pain   Dr. A. Coyle's Celebrated Liniment," which was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry1 of this?
department showed that the product is essentially an alcoholic solution of?
camphor, turpentine, methyl salicylate, ammonia, oleoresin of capsicum, chloro??
form, a small amount of an unidentified alkaloid, and an unidentified volatile?
oil; hydrastis and myrrh indicated.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the information for?
the reason that certain statements, appearing on its label and included in the?
circular or pamphlet accompanying it, falsely and fraudulently represented it?
as effective for the cure of pain; and as a remedy for the relief of pleurisy,?
croup, dysentery, cholera, and paralysis; as a cure for rheumatism; as a?
remedy for inflammation of the stomach, liver, lungs, throat, kidneys, and?
bowels, and for diphtheria, quinsy, scarlet fever, and whooping cough; ana as?
a cure for tumors, colic, poll evil, ringbone, farcy, bighead, Ijots, founders,?
spavin, splint, and windgall, when, in truth and in fact, it was not.
On April 17, 1916, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information,?
and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
