5179.  Misbranding  of  " Enleronol."     V.   S.     *     *      *     v.  Bnteronol  Co.,   a.
corporation.     Plea of guilty.     Fine, $200.     (P.  & D.  No.  7533.     I.  S.?
No. 1176-1.)
On September 15, 1916, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district an information against the?
Enteronol Co., a corporation, doing business at Oswego, N. Y., alleging shipment?
by said company, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act as amended, on or?
about February 8, 1916, from the State of New York into the District of Colum??
bia, of a quantity of an article labeled in part, " Bnteronol," which was mis-?
branded.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that the product consisted essentially of alum, camphor,?
ginger, emodin, capsicum, tannic acid, and phenolphthalein.
It was charged in substance in the information that the article was mis-?
branded for the reason that certain statements on the label falsely and fraudu??
lently represented it as a remedy for stomach and bowel diseases accompanied?
by loose evacuations, when, in truth and in fact, it was not a remedy for stomach?
or bowel diseases, whether accompanied by loose evacuations or not; and that it?
was misbranded for the further reason that certain statements included in the?
circular or pamphlet accompanying it falsely and fraudulently represented it as?
a cure for Asiatic cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, typhoid fever, tuber??
culosis, and the diarrhea so common in children and infants, when, in truth and?
in fact, it was not.
On February 14, 1917, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the?
information, and the court imposed a fine of $200.
