teeth, and diabetes, whereas the article was not of significant nutritional 
value by reason of the presence of the vitamins, factors, and elements men- 
tioned, and consumption of the product would not insure normal function-' 
in of the various organs of the body and would not prevent or correct ab- 
normalities of those organs or the disease conditions mentioned and sug- 
gested.
