(F. & D. No. 15086. I. S. Nos. 4379-t, 4380-t, 4381-t, 4882-t. S. No.? C-3086.) On June 28, 1921, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?

State of Ohio into the State of Iowa, 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 the following statements appearing on the labels of the pails and? drums containing the respective articles and in the accompanying booklets,? (hog remedy) (label) "Capitol Hog Remedy Highly recommended for Hog? Cholera, Scrofula, Inflamatory and all contagious diseases peculiar to swine.?
