16358. Misbranding of Warren's Wonder Workers. U. S. v. 9 Dozen 
Ketail Cartons of Warren's Wonder "Workers. Default decree 
of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (E\ & D. No. 23570. 
I. S. No. 07794.    S. No. 1824.)
On April 2, 1929, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, 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 9 dozen retail cartons of Warren's Wonder Workers, remain- 
ing in the original unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by S. Pfeiffer Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo., February 19, 
1929, and transported from the State of Missouri into the State of Washington, 
arriving at Seattle on or about February 24, 1929, and charging misbranding 
in violation of the food and drugs act as amended.
Analysis of a sample of the article by this department showed that it con- 
tained acetanilide (1.7 grains per capsule), quinine, sodium and potassium 
salts, bromides, and aloe.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the fol- 
lowing statement on the carton, " Contains no quinine," was false and mis- 
leading. Misbranding was alleged for the further reason that the following 
statements regarding the curative and therapeutic effects of the article, (car- 
ton ) " Treatment of * * * Coughs, LaGrippe, Influenza * * * use 
them to prevent * * * Influenza * * * to relieve * * * an attack 
of LaGrippe," (circular) "Good for * * * Neuralgia," were false and 
fraudulent.
On April 25, 1929, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
B. W. DTTNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
