7798. Misbranding of Injection Malydor. U. S. * * * v. 3 Dozen Bottles 
of Injection Malydor. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, 
and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 11642.    I. S. No. 8538-r.     S. No. C-1590.)
On November 26, 1919, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Michigan, 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 3 dozen bottles of Injection Malydor, remaining unsold in the 
original unbroken packages at Grand Rapids, Mich., alleging that the article 
had been shipped on or about November 10, 1917, by the Kells Co., Newburgh, 
N. Y., and transported from the State of New York into the State of Michigan, 
and charging misbranding under the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de- 
partment showed that it consisted essentially of an aqueous solution of boric 
acid, a zinc salt, acetanilid, glycerin, and a trace of alkaloids.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason 
that certain statements regarding the curative and therapeutic effects thereof, 
appearing on the labels and in the circular accompanying the article, falsely and 
fraudulently represented that the article was a treatment, remedy, and cure 
for diseases of the orificial passages as gonorrhoea, gleet, spermatorrhoea, piles, 
leucorrhoea, unhealthy sexual discharges, impotence, varicocele, prostatitis, 
syphilis, and chancroids and certain other disorders, whereas, in truth and 
in fact, it was not.
On January 16, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, a default 
decree of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the property be destroyed by the United States marshal;
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
