It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the fol- lowing statements appearing in the labeling were false and fraudulent: (Ru- Bon No. 1, bottle) " Psoriasis.

It has healed many of over 20 years standing, growing a new perfect skin and not leaving a scar. * * * All Eczemas are much harder to control after they have been burned with X- Bay, radium or mineral nitrates, but Eu-Bon will remove the atrophy and heal the skin. * * * No. 3 Bu-Bon until thoroughly healed. For Lupus use No. 2 Eu-Bon, apply 2 or 3 times a day, for 4 or 5 days then alternate with No. 3. The No. 2 will destroy the Tubercles and No. 3 will heal. When of long standing it will take several months of treatment. For Herpes, use * * * No. 3 For all Dermatitis * * * For Bunions or Chilblains apply No. 3 Bu-Bon until the soreness is gone, * * * Eczema of the rectum or Itching Piles bathe * * * with No. 3 Bu-Bon, * * * No matter what the cause of your skin trouble, use No. 3 Bu-Bon and get Belief. We recommend that for all skin trouble to use No. 3 Bu-Bon, no matter if 20 or 30 years standing, or if your entire skin is covered, or if you have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars or how many times you have been told that you could not be cured, or how many so-called Eczema cures you have- used, or how many times you have been burned with X-Eays, or how many health resorts you have been to. * * * It is made * * * to * * * remove all ailments of the skin, and leaves it in a healthy condition without a scar. If you had a few drops of Eu-Bon, and used it when your Eczema first started you would never have realized that you could have Eczema. There is nothing about Eczema to alarm one, though many have died of internal drugs administered to them. It is not necessary to use any internal medicine with Bu-Bon. * * * Bu-Bon first seeks the cause, * * * removes the dead and poisoned skin, destroys the * * * tubercle that causes the itching * * * The trouble will not appear again, unless you cause it by the use of or coming in contact with an astringent that poisons your skin. No matter how long affected or how severe your case, Bu-Bon properly used will clear or purify the skin."
