17070. Misbranding of Tyding's turpentine man's remedy. II. S. v. 8% 
Dozen Bottles of Tydlngf's Turpentine Man's Remedy. Default 
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. Nos. 
23822, 23823.    I. S. No. 08868.    S. Nos. 1995, 1996 )
On June 19, 1929, the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Georgia, 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 8% dozen bottles of Tyding's turpentine man's remedy^ 
remaining in the original unbroken packages at Macon, Ga., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by Tydings & Co., from Oeala, Fla., in part on April 
24, 1929, and in part on April 26, 1929, and transported from the State of 
Florida into the State of Georgia, and charging misbranding in violation of 
the food and drugs act as amended. The article was labeled in part: " Remedy 
for the Blood.   For Stiffened Joints, For Rheumatism."
Analysis of a sample of the article by this department showed that it con- 
sisted essentially of potassium iodide, salicylic acid, extracts of plant drugs 
including a laxative drug, sugar, alcohol, and water.
It was alleged in the libel that the article, labeled as aforesaid, was mis- 
branded in violation of section 8 of said act, paragraph 3, under drugs, in 
that it contained no ingredient or combination of ingredients capable of pro- 
ducing the effects claimed, and in that the same were applied to the article 
knowingly and in reckless and wanton disregard of their truth or falsity, so 
as to represent falsely and fraudulently to purchasers thereof that it was, in 
whole or in part, composed of or contained ingredients or medicinal agents 
effective in the diseases and conditions named therein.
On December 23, 1929, 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.
