LIBEL FILED :   May 26,1944.   District of New Jersey.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT :   From on or about March 22 to April 6, 1944, by the Keith- 
Victor Pharmacal Co., St. Louis, Mo. 
PRODUCT:   4,943,500 Multi-Vitamin Gelucaps Tablets at Newark, N. J.
VIOLATIONS CHARGED: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (1), in that a valuable con- 
stituent, vitamin A, has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted from 
the product.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), in that the statement in the labeling, "Each 
Spheroid Has Vitamin Potencies as Follows: Vitamin A (from Fish Liver 
Oil) 2500 USP units * * *," was false, since the article contained a lesser 
amount of vitamin A, not more than 50 percent of the quantity declared.
DISPOSITION: July 3, 1944. The Keith-Victor Pharmacal Co. having appeared 
as claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and the product was ordered released under bond

the Food and Drug Administration.
