of an Article of Drag Shipped  by the "3 Days"  Cure  Co.    Default 
decree of condemnation, forfeitni-e, and destruction.     (F.   &  D.  No.
1025G.    I.  S. No. 15325-r.    S. No.  E-1843.)
On May 6, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
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 con- 
demnation of 3 dozen packages of an article of drug shipped by the " 3 
Days" Cure Co., consigned on September 7, 1918, remaining unsold in the 
original unbroken packages at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had 
beenshipped by the "3 Days" Cure Co., Washington, D. C, and transported 
from the District of Columbia into the State of Maryland, and charging mis- 
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Analysis of a sample of the article made in the Bureau of Chemistry of 
this department showed that it consisted essentially of a mixture of cubebs and 
copaiba.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the rea- 
son that it was represented as a treatment for gonorrhoea, gleet, and all in- 
flammations of the urinary organs, kidneys, bladder, etc., and that the state- 
ments, appearing on the labels on the box, on the wrapper enclosing, on the 
bottle containing, and in the circular accompanying the article, regarding the 
curative and therapeutic effects thereof, were false and fraudulent in that the 
article did not contain any ingredients or combination of ingredients capable 
of producing the effects claimed for it.
On June 11, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the coui't 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D.  BALL, Acting  Secretary of Agriculture.
