On September 2, 1919, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of California, 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 6 dozen packages of an article, labeled in part " Red Rose?
and Sandal Wood," remaining in the original unbroken packages? at San Fran??
cisco, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped by Henry.S. Wampole?
Co., Baltimore, Md., January 23, 1919, and transported from, the State of Mary??
land into- the State of California, and charging misbranding in violation of the'?
Food and Drugs Act, as amended. The article was labeled in part, ,; Henry S..?
Wampole's Red Rose and Sandal Wood * * *
" A Safe Sure and Speedy?
Remedy."
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart??
ment showed that each package contained two preparations, an emulsion and a?
" wash." The emulsion consisted essentially of balsam of copaiba, oils of?
euheb-s, santal, nutmeg, and lavender, potassium hydroxld, camphor, ethyl?
nitrite, gum, alcohol, and water.. The wash consisted essentially of zinc ehlorkl,?
glycerin, oils- of rose and geranium, and water.
It was alleged in subs-tanee in the libel that the: article was nnsbranded in?
that it was labeled in part on the cartons, " * * *' A Safe * * * and?
Speedy Remedy," and on the circulars, "Red Rose Wash and Sandal Wood?
Bfiaulsion Fo*r the Relief and Prevention of Gonorrhoea (Clap), Bleriorrfocea?
(Gleet), Leueorrhcea (Whites), and allied forms of Acute and Inflammatory?
Mucous Discharges from the Urethra (Urine Canal)," which statements were?
false and fraudulent since the article contained no ingredient ?r combination?
of ingredients capable of producing1 the curative and .therapeutic effects elah&eeL
On November 12, 19191, no cfeima-nt having appealed for; the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
