;
;On or about December 31, 1942, the United.'.State's.attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed a libel-against 46 cases, each containing 144 gelatin 
capusles, at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped within the 
period from on or about November 11 to December 8, 1942, from Detroit, Mich., 
by the Gelatin Products Co;; and charging that it was misbranded. The article 
was
1 labeled in part: "Improved Heptuna Fifty [or "One Hundred"] Soluble 
¦Gelatine Capsules Vitamins A B D G with Liver and Iron."
. , The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the following statements 
on its label, "Vitamins * * * G," and "liver concentrate fortified 
with * :*'¦ * riboflavin *¦"* * Vitamin G . . . 100 Gammas," were mis- 
leading since such statements represented and suggested that the article, when 
taken as directed, would provide a consequential amount of vitamin G( ribo- 
flavin); whereas it would not provide a consequential amount of vitamin G. It 
was alleged to be misbranded further in that it purported to be a food for special 
dietary uses, and its label failed to bear such information concerning its vitamin 
and mineral 
.properties as has been determined to be, and by regulations pre- 
scribed as, necessary in order fully to inform purchasers as to its value for such 
uses, since its label failed to state the proportion of the minimum daily require- 
ment of vitamins
^ A, Bi, D and G contained in a specified quantity of the article,
, and, the proportion of the minimum daily requirement for iron supplied by the 
article when consumed in a specified quantity during a period of 1 day, as 
required by the regulations.
