6564. Misbranding- of Sulferro-Sol. U. S. * * * v. 14 Cases of Sulferro-?
Sol. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.?
Empty containers  ordered sold.     (F.  & D. No. 9013.    I.  S. No. 1741-p.
S. No. E-1028.)
On May 15, 1918, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 14 cases of an article labeted in part, " Sulferro-Sol," remain??
ing unsold in the original unbroken packages, at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the?
article had been shipped on or about February 5, 1918, by the Sul-Ferro-Sol Co.?
Inc., Birmingham, Ala., and transported from the State of Alabama into the?
State of Georgia, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act as amended.
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was misbranded for?
the reason that certain statements regarding the therapeutic and curative?
effects thereof, borne on the label, bottle, carton, and the pamphlet and booklet?
accompanying the article, falsely and fraudulently represented it as a remedy?
for pellagra, dyspepsia, indigestion, anemia, chronic abscesses, and all forms?
of stomach, kidney, skin, blood, and nervous troubles; whereas, in truth and?
in fact, it was not.
On July 5, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal, and that?
the empty containers should be sold at public auction.
