On January 15, 1921, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New 
York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district an information against Claes Tilly, Inc., a cor- 
poration, trading at New York, N. Y., alleging shipment by said company, in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on or about November 15, 1918, and 
January 11, 1919, from the State of New York into the State of Georgia and the Dis- 
trict of Columbia, respectively, of quantities of Claes Tilly Genuine Medicamentum 
which was misbranded. 
¦   ,,
Analysis of a sample of the article by the •Bureau of Chemistry of this department 
showed that it was a sulphurated vegetable oil, probably linseed, mixed with tur- 
pentine and possibly a small amount of oil of amber.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the information for "the reason 
that certain statements, designs, and devices, regarding the therapeutic and cura- 
tive effects thereof, appearing on the labels of the boxes, and in the booklet or cir- 
cular, as the case might be, inclosed in the boxes, falsely and fraudulently represented 
it to be effective, with respect to both consignments, as a treatment, remedy, and 
cure for bladder, kidney, and liver disorders, anemia, brittle nails, erysipelas, measles, 
small-pox, dyspepsia, fevers, chronic Bright's disease, chronic bladder disease, ab- 
dominal fatness, jaundice, biliary colic, pneumonia, piles, liver constipation, and 
worms in children, and with respect to the consignment of November 15, 1918, .as a 
treatment, remedy, and cure for falling hair, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, typho- 
malarial fever, capillary bronchitis, chronic gout, inflammatory rheumatism, con- 
stipation, pale blood, and faulty nutrition of the aged, and with respect to the con- 
signment of January 11, 1919, as a treatment for kidney, bladder, stomach, liver, 
and blood trouble, when, in truth and in fact, it was not.
On January 26, 1921, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf of 
the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of f 200.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
