Gallon PatUages and 12 Quart Bottles, More or less, of Bourbon?
Hog Cholera Remedy. Default decree of condemnation, forfei??
ture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 11373. I. S. No. 7.J7G-I-. S. No.?
C-1492.)
On September 29, 1919, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of Ohio, 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 "Bour??
bon Hog Cholera Remedy," at New Bremen, Ohio, alleging that the article had?
been shipped on or about September 3, 1919, by the Bourbon Remedy Co., Lex??
ington, Ky., and transported from the State of Kentucky into the State of?
Ohio, 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 it consisted of an acid aqueous solution containing?
essentially aloes, copper sulphate, ferrous sulphate, magnesium sulphate, and?
free sulphuric acid, flavored-with, safrol and colored with a red aniline dye.
Misbranding of the articles was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that certain statements appearing on the cartons enclosing, the folder?
accompanying, and on the labels of the packages containing the article, regard??
ing its curative or therapeutic effects, falsely and fraudulently represented that?
the.article was effective as a remedy for cholera, worms, scours, coughs, and?
thumps in hogs, and as a powerful internal germicide, whereas, in truth and in?
fact, it was not effective.
On January 3, 1920, 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.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
