14656. Misbranding  of  Tex  Bailey's  Nu-Life.    U.  S.  v.  3 Dozen  Bottles  of
Tex Bailey's Nu-Life. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, 
and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 21157.    I. S. No. 5297-x.    S. No. E-5748.)
On July 2, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of Connecticut, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and condemnation 
of 3 dozen bottles of Tex Bailey's Nu-Life, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Hartford, Conn., alleging that the article had been delivered for 
shipment by the Tex Bailey Corp., Troy, N. Y., on or about March 16, 1926, to 
the State of Connecticut, and charging misbranding in violation of the food 
and drugs act as amended.
Analysis by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of a sample of the 
article showed that it consisted essentially of water, Epsom salt, iron chloride, 
salicylic acid, saccharin, extracts of plant drugs, including capsicum and senna, 
and was flavored with volatile oil including sassafras oil.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the 
following statements regarding its curative and therapeutic effect were false 
and fraudulent, since the said article contained no ingredient or combination 
of ingredients capable of producing the effect claimed: (Bottle label) " Nu-Life 
* * * Remedy * * * for Stomach, Liver, Kidneys And Blood," (car- 
ton) "Nu-Life * * * Remedy * * * for the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys 
And Blood * * * Rheumatism," (form letter in package) "People that

medicine has done for them, so they too can receive the same benefit. * * *

inherited or contracted, are a most dangerous menace to the health of a 
person. Not only do they make one unsightly by making their appearance in 
the form of Eruptions, Pimples, Scald Head or Syphilitic Humors, but they 
gradually undermine the health, seriously affecting the brain and nervous 
system. Nu-Life Remedy has helped many who have had blood troubles. Do 
You Suffer With Rheumatism? Whether the disease be Chronic, Inflammatory 
or Gonorrhea Rheumatism, there is no remedy like Nu-Life Remedy * * *

excruciating pains in the small of your back when rising from a chair or 
changing from one position to another? Were the kidneys strong and healthy 
instead of being weak, this form of backache would be unknown. * * * 
Dirt Inside The Body Causes Sickness * * * By 'Dirt' we mean any 
impurity. When your stomach is dirty * * * When the bowels are 
dirty * * * When the kidneys are dirty * * * When the nasal pass- 
ages are dirty * * * If the internal ear is dirty * * * In women, 
when the organs peculiar to them are dirty * * * these things are ac- 
companied by foul smelling odors which indicate more clearly than anything 
else that some part of the body is dirty. That is, it is unclean. It is clogged 
up with impurities. It must be rid of these impurities and poisons which we 
call dirt, before it can get well. Use Nu-Life to get rid of bodily dirt. * * *

On September 28, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
