10840.?Misbranding of 2 over 3.    V. S. v. Frank C. Boving.    Plea of guilty.
Fine, $25 and costs.     (F. & D. No. 14552.    I. S. No. 9140-r.)
On June 21, 1921, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Arkansas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district an information against?
F. C. Boving, Hot Springs, Ark., alleging shipment by said defendant in viola??
tion of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on or about July 3, 1920, from?
the State of Arkansas into the State of Illinois, of a quantity of 2 over 3?
which was misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that it consisted essentially of crude oil containing small?
quantities of gasoline and kerosene.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the information for?
the reason that certain statements, designs, and devices regarding the thera??
peutic and curative effects thereof, appearing on the labels of the bottles in?
which the article was contained, falsely and fraudulently represented to the?
purchaser thereof that the article was effective as a treatment, remedy, and?
cure for eczema, psoriasis, rheumatism, catarrh, piles, goitre, dandruff, cancer,?
barber's itch, tetter, granulated eyelids, old sores, neuralgia, scabby, scaly?
skin, stiff joints, falling hair, cuts, sprains, and sore throat, when, in truth?
and in fact, it was not.
On July 15, 1922, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information,?
and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
C. W. PUGSLBY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
