0057. Misbranding of DeLacy's Cin-Ivo-Wa and Iron. U. S. * * * v. 10 
Bottles of Detects Cinchona and Iron. Default decree of con- 
demnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 12593. I. S. No. 
9688-1'.     S.  No.   C-1908.)
On April 30, 1920, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Texas, 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 con- 
demnation of 10 bottles of DeLacy's Cm-Ko-Na and Iron, at San Antonio, Tex., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by the Malliukrodt Chemical Co., St. 
Louis, Mo., on or about August 15, 1919, and transported from the State of Mis- 
souri into the State of Texas, 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 a solution containing quinine, strychnine, a 
laxative plant drug, an iron salt, sugar, glycerin, alcohol, and water.
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was misbranded for 
the reason that it was labeled, (carton) "A Valuable Remedy For All Blood 
Diseases, Rheumatism, Catarrh and all Nervous Diseases. * * * Builds up 
the entire Nervous System   Allays Kidney and Bladder Troubles of all kinds,
* * * All Blood Diseases, Rheumatism, Pimples, Ulcers, Skin Diseases, etc. 
All Nervous Diseases, Neuralgia, Nervous Debility, Paralysis, Headache, etc.

iousness, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Malaria and Female Complaints. * * *

all Wasting Diseases, Kidney and Bladder Troubles, and Brights Disease. It

Weakness, Painful Menstruation, Whites, and General Debility," which said 
statements and claims regarding the curative and therapeutic effects of the 
article were false and fraudulent since it contained no ingredient or combina- 
tion of ingredients capable, of producing the effects claimed.
On June 30, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that 
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BATT, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
