U. S. * * * v. IS Bottles of * * * Enoob Antiseptic Injection 
and 22  Packages of     *     *     *     Enoob  Capsules.     Default decree of
condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 10751.    J.  S. 
Nos.  13942-r,  J3943-r.    S.  No. E-1581.)
On June 24, 1919, 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 a libel for the seizure and 
condemnation of 18 bottles of an article labeled in part, " Enoob Antiseptic 
Injection," and 22 packages of an article labeled in part, " Enoob Capsules," 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken package at New York, N. Y., alleging 
that the article had been shipped on or about December 14, 1917, by the Tropical 
Co-operative Co., Jacksonville, Fla., and transported from the State of Florida 
into the State of New York, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act, as amended.
Analyses of samples of the articles made in the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed that the injection consisted essentially of a solution of 
phenol, menthol, thymol, boric acid, and zinc sulphate in water, and that 1he 
capsules consisted essentially of cubebs, copaiba, gum turpentine, and pepsin, 
with indications (f santal oil.
Misbranding of the articles was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason 
that the articles, used singly or in combination, were not capable of produc- 
ing the therapeutic and curative effects claimed for them on the labels and 
cartons, and in the circulars and testimonials borne and contained in the bottles 
and packages, and that said claims were false and fraudulent, and that the said 
bottles, labels, cartons, circulars, and testimonials bore and contained certain 
statements as to the curative and therapeutic effects of said articles and of the 
ingredients and substances contained therein, for the treatment and cure of gon- 
orrhoea, gleet, and other diseases of the bladder and urinary organs, whereas, in 
truth and in fact, neither of said products contained any ingredients or combi- 
nation of ingredients capable of producing the effects claimed on the labels and 
cartons, and in the circulars and testimonials, nor did both of said articles used 
in combination contain any ingredient or combination of ingredients capable of 
producing the effects claimed in said statements.
On July 16, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it wTas ordered by the court that 
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
