of guilty.    Fine, $10 and, costs.    (F. & D. No. 42791.    Sample-No. 37245-D.)
The labeling of this veterinary product bore false and fraudulent representa- 
tions regarding its curative and therapeutic effectiveness.
On January 12, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Iowa filed an information against Tim Lake Laboratories, Inc., Des Moines, 
Iowa, alleging shipment by said company on or about May 12, 1939, from the 
State of Iowa into the State of Nebraska of quantities of Blu-V-Spray which 
was misbranded.
Analysis showed that the article consisted essentially of small proportions of 
volatile oils (including menthol, thymol, eucalyptol, and methyl salicylate) for- 
maldehyde, salicylic acid, and water.
The article was alleged to be. misbranded in that certain statements in the 
labeling regarding its curative and therapeutic effects falsely and fraudulently 
represented that it was effective as a treatment, remedy, and cure for bron- 
chitis, gapes, colds, pneumonia, diphtheria, intestinal flu, and other infectious 
poultry ailments of the throat, head, and respiratory orKans.
On March 30, 1940, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
