0222. Misbranding of " 3 Days " Care. XT. S. * * * v. 2 Dozen Packages 
Containing Bottles of Liquid and Loose Capsules Labeled " ' 3 Days ' 
Cure." Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruc- 
tion.     (P. & D. No.  10223.     I. S. No. 16342-r.     S. No. E-1366.)
On May 6, 1919, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Georgia, 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 2 dozen packages containing bottles of liquid and loose cap-
sules labeled " ' 3 Days' Cure," remaining unsold in the original unbroken pack- 
ages at Savannah, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
September 10, 1918, by The " 3 Days " Cure Co., Washington, D. C., and trans- 
ported from the District of Columbia into the State of Georgia, and charging 
misbranding under the Food and Drugs Act, as amended.
Analyses of samples of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- 
ment showed that it consisted of two preparations, a liquid for injection and 
capsules for internal use. The injection consisted essentially of an aqueous 
solution of zinc sulphate and boric acid. The contents of the capsules consisted 
of powdered cubebs and copaiba.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance'in the libel for the reason 
that certain statements on the label and circular accompanying the article 
falsely and fraudulently represented that the article was a treatment, remedy, 
and cure for gonorrhea and gleet, whereas, in truth and.in fact, it was not.
On September 30, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, a 
default decree 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.BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
