15550-x, 23001-x.     S. Nos. 265, 266.)
On November 30, 1927, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Texas, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district libels praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 158 packages of Pas-Shon-Rub and 182 packages of Pro-Long-Rub, 
at Fort Worth, Texas, alleging that the articles had been shipped by the Doc- 
tor's Laboratories, from Memphis, Tenn., in part on or about September 23, 
1926, and in part on or about October 1, 1926, and transported from the State of 
Tennessee into the State of Texas, and charging misbranding in violation of 
the food and drugs act as amended. The articles were labeled, in part: (Pas- 
Shon-Rub, label) "Pas-Shon-Rub For the Treatment of Sexual Impotence in 
tlie Male and Female," (circular) " Pas-Slion-Rub. An emulsion for the treat- 
ment of sexual impotence in the male and female. * * * It is undoubtedly 
the most valuable remedy we have for lowered virility, lack of tone and non- 
functioning of the organs of the sex.    Its specific effects in these cases are
* * * to promote the functional activity of the sex organs * * * the spe- 
cific remedy for the purpose * * * its most immediate aphrodisiac action 
is phenomenal, by stimulating tlie sex-center, dilating the inguinal arteries and 
producing hyperaemia sexualis. * * * The preparation is a positive Aphro- 
disiac. * * * it is rapidly absorbed by the net work of small veins arterioles 
and nerves. As absorption begins the impression is made upon the terminal 
nerves, this is transmitted to the genito-spinal center which results in rapid con- 
gestion and turgescence of the erectile tissues, increasing libido, and producing 
a genuine hyperaemia sexualis * * * It is restorative to the generative sys- 
tem : First, because it increases the blood supply with a consequent strengthen- 
ing and tonic effect; second, the ingredients which produce these results are 
time proven tonics to the generative orKans. * * * a valuable adjuvant to 
the general treatment in atrophied or retarded development of the mamma, 
frigidity, indifference and non-functioning of the ovarian and uterine orKans.
* * * This is truly a wonderful remedy-the sane and intelligent employ- 
ment of which will conserve and prolong virility and sexual power as long 
as the other physical powers last. It is applicable to all forms of functional 
impotence including the psychic. It is equally applicable to those cases of 
organic origin which are the causative factors of impotence. * * * In 
emmisio precox, spermatorrhea, satyriasis and nymphomania, used every twelve 
hours until the eroticism is overcome, it is specific. * * * in cases of lack 
of sexuality, atrophy or retarded development of the ovaries, amenorrhea, 
frigidity and indifference, etc. * * * it requires froin four to eight weeks 
treatment used every twelve hours (only) ; " (Pro-Long-Rub, label) "Pro-Long- 
Rub Prophylactic Positive Preventative," (circular) " Pro-Long-Rub * * * 
Prophylactic Prevention of Venereal Disease Positive Preventative * * * 
Pas-Shon-Rub the most marvelous preparation which truly creates sexual desire 
to male and femala   Results to many old and young."
Analyses of samples of the articles by this department showed that the Pas- 
Shon-Rub consisted essentially of a mixture of glycerin and protein and fatty 
materials; and that the Pro-Long-Rub was a pink ointment composed chiefly of 
wool fat with a small amount of formaldehyde and nitrogenous material.
It was alleged in substance in the libels that the articles were misbranded, 
in that the above-quoted statements regarding the therapeutic effects of the 
said articles were false, fraudulent, and misleading in that the articles con- 
tained no ingredients or combinations of ingredients capable of producing the 
results claimed.
On January 30, 1928, 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.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
