demnation of a certain quantity of a certain article, labeled in part " Bourbon?
Hog Cholera Remedy," at Kenton, Ohio, alleging that the article had been?
shipped on or about September 3, 1919, by the Bourbon Remedy Co., Lexington,?

' t Supplement 94,
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason?
that certain statements appearing on the cartons enclosing, the folder accom??
panying, and on the labels of the packages containing the article, regarding its?
curative or therapeutic effects, falsely and fraudulently represented that the?
article was effective as a remedy for cholera, worms, scours, cough, 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.
