j. S. SUPREME COURT
TO DECIDE DRUG CASE
Interstate Shipment of Medicine
Carrying False Statement of Cura-
tive Value to Be Ruled Upon.

Whether the inhibition of law
against shipments in interstate COM
merce OF any package of drug which
shall contain a statement regarding
the curative or therapeutic effect of
the drug which is false and fraudu-
lent is in violation of constitutional
rights is the question involved in the
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States from the verdict of the
court below finding the Eckman Man
ufacturing Company guilty of such vio-
lation of law. In a brief filed today.
Assistant Attorney General E. Marvin
Underwood presents the arguments of
the government
The main contention Of the drug COM
pany Is that the amendment is uncon-
stitutfonal as an attempt to regulate
matter OF opinion as to the curative
or therapeutic value of the drug. The
government denies this, and maintains
that false and fraudulent representation
concerning the curative properties of
such drugs, not being the expression of a
real opinion. but of deliberate false
hood, are questions of fact and not of
opinion, and that Congress had ample
power under the Constitution to regu-
late statements Of this character when
accompanying articles moving in inter-
state commerce
There are two cases involved, known
as seven cases (more or less), each
containing twelve bottles of Eckman's
Alternative. Eckman Manufacturing
Company, VS.. the United States" and
six cases (more or less)," etc. The
appeal involves the constitutionalfty
of the Sherley amendment to the food
and drug act. The amendment was
enacted to remedy the evil which at
tended the practice of representing
drugs, which had little II any thera-
peuttc value, as cures for the most
serious disease. such as tuberculosis
and cancer.
