!?'5GO. Misbranding of Gilleu's Cholera Remedy. II. S. * * * v. 8 Oases?
of Gillen's Cholera Remedy. Consent decree of condemnation and?
forfeiture. Product released on bond. (F. & D. No. 11090. I. S. No.?
9417-r.    8. No. C-1418.)
On August 15, 1919, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 8 cases (6 containing 12 quart bottles each, 2 containing 24?
pint bottles each) of Gillen's Cholera Remedy, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped?
by the Gillen Remedy Co., Atlanta, Ga., on or about March 5, 1919, and trans??
ported from the State of Georgia into the State of Missouri, and charging mis??
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended. The article was?
labeled in part, " Gillen's Hog Remedy for hogs and chickens * * * for?
hogs when afflicted with cholera * * * as a preventative for cholera and to?
remove worms and as a general tonic. * * * for fowls when afflicted with?
cholera, sorehead and roup, and white diarrhoea in little chicks * * * pre??
ventative for cholera, sorehead and roup    *    *    *."
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that it consisted essentially of an aqueous solution of saponi??
fied tar oil and sodium sulphate.
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was misbranded in?
violation of section 8 of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, for the reason?
that the preceding statements, regarding the curative and therapeutic effects?
thereof, were false and fraudulent.
On September 22, 1920, the United Stock Remedies Co., Atlanta, Ga., claim??
ant, having consented to a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was?
entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to said?
claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a?
bond in the sum of $200, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in?
part that the goods be relabeled according to law.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
