On February 28, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 66 bottles of Essence of Mistol at 
Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about October 28, 1932, by Staneo Distributors, Inc., from Newark, 
N. J., to Baltimore, Md., and charging misbranding in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.   The article was labeled in part: (Bottle) "Essence of Mistol."
Analysis showed that the article consisted essentially of volatile oils including 
menthol, eucalyptol, and camphor, Isopropyl alcohol, and water.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the label on the carton 
failed to bear a statement of the quantity or proportion of the isopropyl alcohol 
contained in the preparation.
On February 26, 1936, a consent decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction was entered.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
