6331. Misbranding of Eadam's.     IT. S.   *   *   *   v. The William Radam Microbe Killer Co.,?
a corporation.   Plea of guilty.   Fine, $50.   (P. & D. No. 7619.   I. S. No. 1944-1.)
On November 14, 1916, the United States attorney for the Southern 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 William Radam?
Microbe Killer Co., a corporation, New York, N. Y., alleging shipment by said com??
pany, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on August 31,1915, from the?
State of New York into the State of New Jersey, of a quantity of an article labeled in?
part, " Radam's," which was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department?
showed that the product consisted of a clear aqueous solution of about 0.69 per cent?
sulphuric acid, about 0.02 per cent sulphurous acid, and traces of iron, nitric acid,?
hydrochloric acid, and organic matter.
It was alleged in substance in the information that the article was misbranded for?
the reason that certain statements appearing on the label falsely and fraudulently?
represented it as a remedy for constipation, biliousness, diarrhea, dysentery, sore?
throat, fevers, diphtheria, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, pneumonia, grippe, colds,?
catarrh, and hay fever, when, in truth and in fact, it was not.
On April 24, 1918, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the informa??
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
