On March 7, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey,?
acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court?
of the United States for said district libels for the seizure and condemnation?
of 36 packages of Wood's capsules and 30 packages of Hoffo-Kos special cap??
sules improved1, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Newark and?
Hoboken, N. J., respectively, alleging that the articles had been shipped by?
the Grape Capsule Co., Allentown, Pa., on or about April 12, 1920, and Febru??
ary 10, 1921, respectively, and transported from the State of Pennsylvania into?
the State of New Jersey, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act, as amended.
Misbranding of the articles was alleged in substance in the libels for the?
reason that certain statements appearing on the cartons containing the re??
spective articles falsely and fraudulently represented them to be effective for?
gonorrhea, gleet, and all kidney and bladder troubles, when, in truth and in fact,?
the said articles contained no ingredients or combinations of ingredients ca??
pable of producing the effects claimed in said statements.
On January 19, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments?
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the products be destroyed by the United States marshal.
