21992. Misbranding of Yob-I-Ana.    U.  S. v.  166 Dozen Packages of Yob-I-
Ana. Default decree of condemnation, .forfeiture, and destruc- 
tion.    (F. & D. no. 31638.    Sample no. 56274-A.)
Examination of the drug product, Yob-I-Ana, disclosed that it contained no 
ingredient or combination of ingredients capable of producing certain curative 
and therapeutic effects claimed on the carton label and in the leaflets and 
circular shipped with the article.
On December 4, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 166 dozen packages 
of Yob-I-Ana at Dallas, Tex., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about June 17,1933, by Crooks Terminal Warehouse, 
from Chicago, III., and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act as amended. The article was labeled in part: " Prepared by The 
Dulce Laboratory, Dallas, Texas."
Analysis of a sample of the article by this Department showed that it con- 
sisted essentially of petrolatum, small proportions of volatile oils, such as 
citronella oil and peppermint oil, and a rubifacient, such as red pepper extract.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the labeling 
contained statements regarding the curative and therapeutic effects of the 
article, particularly regarding its efficacy as a remedy for conditions of sexual 
impotency in adult males, which were false and fraudulent.
On January 8, 1934, 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.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
