7610. Misbranding of kidney pills. U. S. * * * v. 250 Packages of Kid- 
ney Pills. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and de- 
struction.     (F, & D. No. 460-c.)
On March 26, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a 
libel of information praying the seizure and condemnation of 1 case, contain- 
ing 250 packages of kidney pills, remaining unsold in the original unbroken 
packages at Worcester, Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped by 
Edwin S. McFields, otherwise known as Roger North, Hartford, Conn., and 
transported from the State of Connecticut into the Commonwealth of Massa- 
chusetts, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Misbranding of the pills was alleged in the libel of information for the 
reason that they were labeled as certain kidney pills, which said label was 
false and misleading in that they were not pills of the make they purported 
to be, but an imitation thereof.
On June 11, 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.
