On May 6, 1920, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts,?
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court?
of the United States for said district libels of information, praying the seizure?
of 175 dozen large and 27J small bottles, 5 dozen large and 4 dozen small bottles.?
8 dozen large and 6 dozen small bottles, and 12 dozen large and 6 dozen small?
bottles of Linonine, at Worcester and Boston, Mass., consigned by the Kerr?
Chemical Co., Danbury, Conn., between January 8 and April 3, 1920, alleging?
that the article had been transported from the State of Connecticut into the?
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 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 depart??
ment showed that it consisted of an emulsion composed essentially of linseed?
oil, oils of eucalyptus and cinnamon, methyl salicylate, and glycerin.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libels of information for the?
reason that the following statements regarding its curative and therapeutic?
effect, (bottle labels) " Pulmonary Diseases, Consumption, Chronic Coughs,?

of producing the effects claimed.
On November 12, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
