On October 30, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of New Jer??
sey, 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 condemna??
tion of 5 dozen bottles of G-U-C capsules, at Atlantic City,, N. J., alleging that
N. J. 10151-10200]  SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS. .       105
the article had been shipped by the Hollander-Koshland Co., Baltimore, Md., on?
or about August 27, 1919, and transported from the State of Maryland into the?
State of New Jersey, 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 de??
partment showed that the capsules contained turpentine, santal oil, cassia oil,?
and copaiba.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason?
that certain statements borne on the labels of the bottles containing the article?
and in the circular accompanying the same were false and fraudulent in that?
they misled and deceived the. purchaser into the belief that the said article?
could be successfully used in the treatment and cure of gonorrhea, gleet, and?
disorders of a similar nature and origin, whereas, in truth and in fact, the said?
article would not produce the curative and therapeutic effects as claimed on the?
said labels and circulars.
On January 19, 1922, 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.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
