v, 1J Dozen. Packages of B-I-F1 Combination and 1 Dozen Packages?
of   B-I-F"   Capsules.     Default   decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,
and destruction.     (If. & D. No. 11491.    I. S. Nos. 15901-r, 15902-r.    S. No.?
E-1840.)
On November 5, 1919, the United States attorney for the Eastern District?
of Pennsylvania, 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 a certain quantity of a certain article, labeled in part?
" B-I-F Combination " and " B-I-F Capsules," remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Philadelphia, Pa., consigned by The Hollander-Koshland?
Co., Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about?
October 17, 1919, and transported from the State of Maryland into the State?
of Pennsylvania, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act, as amended.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this?
department showed that the B-I-F Combination consisted of 2 preparations,?
an injection, and an emulsion. The injection consisted essentially of a dilute?
aqueous solution of zinc sulphate, phenol, and glycerin, and the emulsion con??
sisted essentially of an alkaline mixture of copaiba and oils of santal and?
peppermint. The capsules consisted essentially of copaiba and oils of santal, tur??
pentine, and cinnamon.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel in that certain statements?
appearing on the carton enclosing and in the circular accompanying the article,?
regarding the therapeutic or curative effects of the article, falsely and fraudu??
lently represented the article to be effective as a remedy for gonorrhoea, gleet,?
and disorders of a similar nature and origin, whereas, in truth and in fact,?
it was not effective.
