On or about April 15, 1918, the United States attorney for the Eastern Dis- 
trict of Virginia, 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 6 pails, 11 pails, and 45 pails of Cal-Sino Hog Restorative, 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Mears, Greenbush, and 
Onley, Va., alleging that the several consignments had been shipped on or about 
March 21, 1918, by the Cal-Sino Co., Baltimore, Md., and transported from the 
State of Maryland into the State of Virginia, and charging misbranding in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended. Said article was labeled 
as follows, "An Alterative Tonic and Intestinal Disinfectant Designed for 
Hog Cholera * * * Give Cal-Sino Hog Restorative during prevalence of 
Hog Cholera and on noticing suspicious signs of Cholera. It rids the system of 
impurities, helps to make good blood and disinfects the bowels thoroughly, and 
therefore wards off Cholera as well as other diseases or checks their progress. 
* * * Try to Prevent Sickness and Ward off Cholera. Make it your first aim 
to keep away Cholera and other infectious diseases by the regular use of Cal- 
Sino Hog Restorative * * * Aids in the Prevention and Cure of all Hog 
Diseases especially Cholera    *    *    *."
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this 6P- 
partment showed that it consisted essentially of sulphur, sodium sulphate, 
chlorid, bicarbonate, ferrous sulphate, charcoal, turpentine, cresols in small 
amount, mineral oil and unidentified plant material.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
foregoing statements were false and fraudulent in that the article and drugs 
did not contain any ingredient or combination of ingredients capable of produc- 
ing the therapeutic effects so claimed on the cartons and labels.
On March 20, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, a decree 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
