On October 4, 1910, the United States attorney for the District of New?
Jersey, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district an information against?
W. Scott Taylor, trading as the Taylor Drug and Chemical Co,, Trenton, N. J.,?
alleging shipment hj said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act,?
as amended, on or about January 25, 1918, from the State of New Jersey into?
the State of New York, of a quantity of an article labeled in part: " Taylor's?
Horehound Balsam," which was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this?
department showed the following results:
Alcohol (per cent by volume)?
14.5
Solids (per cent) ?
48.1
Sugar as sucrose (per cent)?
46.7
Chloroform (minims per fluid ounce)?
   2.6
Total alkaloids (per cent)?
   0.004
Chloroform extract (acid) (indicates tolu) (percent)?   0.02
Methyl salicylate (per cent)?
   0.06
Horehound: Present.?
Ipecac: Trace.?
Camphor:  Present.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the information, for?
the reason that certain statements appearing on its-label falsely and fraudu??
lently represented it as a remedy for influenza, hoarseness, and incipient?
consumption, as a relief for consumptive patients in advanced stages of con??
sumption, and as a remedy for all pulmonary diseases, when, in truth and in?
fact, it was not.
On October 9, 1916, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information,?
and the court suspended sentence.
