On June 7, 1919, the United States attorney for the Western District of North?
Carolina, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district libels for the seizure and?
condemnation of 5 dozen bottles of " 3 Days " Cure for Men and 60 envelopes of?
capsules, at Greensboro, N. C., and 3| dozen bottles of "3 Days" Cure for Men?
and 39 envelopes of capsules, at Charlotte, N. C, remaining in the original un??
broken packages, alleging that the articles had been shipped by the " 3 Days "?
Cure Co., Washington, D. C, on or about February 14, 1919, and October 18,?
1918, respectively, and transported from the District of Columbia into the State?
of North Carolina, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act, as amended.
Analyses of samples of the articles by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that the contents of the bottles taken from each shipment?
consisted essentially of zinc sulphate and borax, and zinc sulphate, borax, and?
thymol, respectively, and that the contents of the capsules consisted of powdered?
cubebs and copaiba.
Misbranding of the articles was alleged in substance in the libels for the?
reason that certain statements appearing on the wrapper and bottle label, and in?
the accompanying circular, regarding the curative and therapeutic effects?
thereof, to wit, (wrapper) "The '3 Days' Cure for Men, a prompt and reliable?
remedy for Gonorrhoea and Gleet. Combines internal and local treatment, suited?
to all cases. Can never do harm. * * *," (bottle) " The ' 3 Days' Cure for?
Men. * * *," (circular) " * * * This treatment applies to other forms?
of inflammation with discharge which may appear in the urethral canal, * * *,"?
were false and fraudulent in that the articles contained no ingredients or?
combination of ingredients capable of producing the effects claimed.?
On February 6, 3920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments?
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court,?
that the products be destroyed by the United States marshal.
