21233. Misbranding of Tarolfectant.   V. S. v. 1 Drum of Tarolfectant.    De¬
fault decree of destruction entered.    (F. & D. no. 30071.    Sample no. 
22116-A.)
Examination of the product Tarolfectant disclosed that it contained no ingre- 
dient or combination of ingredients capable of producing certain curative and 
therapeutic effects claimed in the labeling.
On April 11, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one drum of Tarolfectant at 
Windom, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, on or about March 4, 1933, by the Sioux Oil Tar Disinfecting Co., 
from Sioux City, Iowa, 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- 
sisted of coal-tar oils.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the follow- 
ing statements on the label, regarding the curative or therapeutic effects of 
the article, were false and fraudulent: "Hog Flu * * * Directions for 
Hog Flu * * * Three treatments in nine days should make all your 
hogs   *   *   *   in a more healthful condition."
On June 7, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
was entered ordering that the product be destroyed by the United States 
marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
