12043. Misbranding of Remloclc 300.    V. S. v. George E. Remick (Remlock:
Hills Laboratory).     Plea of gruilty.    Pine, $100 and costs.     (F. & D.
No. 15447.    I. S. No. 2343-t.)
On December 22, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of Colo- 
rado, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district an information against George E. 
Remick, trading as the Remlock Hills Laboratory, Denver, Colo., alleging ship- 
ment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, 
on or about March 31, 1921, from the State of Colorado into the State of Mis- 
souri, of a quantity of Remlock 300 which was misbranded. The article was 
labeled in part: " Remlock 300 * * * Manufactured by Remlock Hills 
Laboratory   Denver, Colo. U. S. A."
Anaylsis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed that it consisted of 99 per cent water and 1 per cent of cal- 
cium hypochlorite, calcium chloride, and calcium carbonate.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the information 
for the reason that certain statements, designs, and devices regarding its; 
therapeutic and curative effect, appearing on the label of the bottle containing 
the said article, falsely and fraudulently represented it to be effective as a 
treatment, remedy, and cure for diabetes and Bright's disease, when, in truth 
and in fact, it was not.
On December 10, 1923, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the informa- 
tion, and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
