Bottles   of   The   Crossman   Mixture.     Default   decree   of   condemna- 
tion, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 10358.     I. S. No. 2380-r. 
S. No. W-365.)
On May 19, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, 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 18 
dozen bottles of Crossman Mixture, remaining unsold in the original unbroken 
packages at Portland, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped on 
January 14, 1919, and February 6. 1919, by C. L. Huisking, New York, N. Y., 
and transported from the State of New York into the State of Oregon, and 
charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Analysis of samples made in the Bureau of Chemistry of this department 
showed that the article consisted essentially of essential oils, including cubebs 
and copaiba, and alcohol.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance for the reason that it 
was represented to be a treatment of simple urethritis, gonorrhoea, and gleet, 
and that the statements, regarding the curative and therapeutic effects thereof 
and the ingredients and substances contained therein, were false and fraudulent 
in that the article contained no ingredient or combination of ingredients cap- 
able of producing the curative and therapeutic effects claimed for it on the label, 
wrapper, and circular.
On August 20, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
