1. Yeast Foam is not “pasteurized,” as that word is ordinarily used; 2. At most, the benefits of Yeast Foam and Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam are limited to that of a mild laxative, to the supplying of vitamin B complex in diets deficient in such vitamin, and to the stimulation of leucocyte formation;

8. The use of Yeast Foam, at most, will not stimulate intestinal action, restore energy or relieve headaches unless same are due to constipation ;

11. The use of Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam will not help a dog get “all” the nourishment from his food;

A little of this live yeast, added to the daily ration, increases digestibility and assimilation of food.

Fur becomes thick and satiny; skin clearer. Appetites improve. Spirits rise. And since this LIVE yeast keeps intestines clear and healthy, worms and diseases are rare. Par. 5. To date, the true therapeutic benefits and value of Yeast Foam Tablets and Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam are limited to that of a mild laxative, to the supplying of the vitamin B complex in diets deficient in such vitamin, to the stimulating of leucocyte formation, to the stimulating of the appetite if impaired by an insufficient supply of the vitamin B complex, and to the stimulating of the flow of secretions from the glands of the digestive tract (but not to the stimulating or activating of glands in other parts of the body). The typical every-day diet is not deficient in vitamin B. The use of Yeast Foam Tablets will not correct skin troubles, eruptions, blemishes, or bad color unless such conditions are due to an insufficient supply of the vitamin B complex or the other nutritional essentials contained in yeast or to gastro-intestinal irregularities which may be corrected by the use of yeast.

The use of Yeast Foam Tablets will not rid one of the cathartic habit, except in so far as the use of yeast may be helpful as a mild laxative.

The use of Yeast Foam Tablets will not restore one’s digestive and eliminative system to normal, healthy functioning unless such condition is due to a deficiency of the vitamin B complex. The use of Yeast Foam Tablets will not eliminate body poisons and wastes unless the faulty elimination is due to a deficiency of the vitamin B complex. . The use of Yeast Foam Tablets will not stimulate intestinal action, restore energy or relieve headaches, except in those cases due to constipation resulting from a vitamin B complex deficiency. The use of Yeast Foam Tablets will not tone up the intestinal nerves and muscles, strengthen digestion, and promote more regular elimination except in those cases of constipation resulting from a vitamin B complex deficiency.

The use of Yeast Foam Tablets or Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam has no direct effect on cleansing or purifying the blood stream, except inso- NORTHWESTERN YEAST CO. 1341 1333 Findings far as the said preparations may indirectly increase the number and quality of both red and white blood corpuscles in those cases where the digestive, assimilating or eliminating processes are defective because of a lack of a sufficient amount of the vitamin B complex or of such nutritional essentials as are contained in said preparations. The use of Yeast Foam Tablets will not increase body weight unless the weight deficiency is due to a loss of appetite occasioned by a deficiency of the vitamin B complex.

The use of Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam will not help a dog get “ALL the nourishment from the feed.”

The use of Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam may aida dog in his digestion and assimilation of food in those cases where there is deficiency of the vitamin B complex in the diet or enzymes in the digestive secretions.

The use of Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam will not result in a dog’s having stronger bones, nor will it produce slick glossiness of coat or immunity from germs and diseases.

The feeding of Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam to chickens will not cause coccidiosis or other intestinal diseases to disappear; however, its use may be helpful in combating these conditions. Yeast Foam Tablets are pasteurized, but Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam is not pasteurized, as that word is ordinarily used. Par. 6. There are among the competitors of respondent as mentioned in paragraph 3 hereof, persons, firms, and partnerships engaged in the sale and distribution of preparations or products similar to those of respondent and which are designed and intended for similar usages, who do not in any way misrepresent the efficacy or therapeutic values of their preparations or products.

Par. 7. The acts and practices of respondent in making the representations hereinabove detailed in connection with the sale and distribution of Yeast Foam Tablets and Animal-Poultry Yeast Foam in commerce between and among the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia, have had a tendency and capacity to mislead and confuse, and have, misled and confused, a substantial portion of the purchasing public with respect to the true therapeutic values of said preparations or products, and as a result thereof, the said purchasing public has been induced to purchase and has purchased respondent’s preparations or products, thereby diverting trade to the respondent from those of its competitors who do not misrepresent the efficacy and therapeutic values of their preparations or products. 185514"—40—vo, 2787 Order 27 Re Tes CONCLUSION The aforesaid acts and practices of the respondent, Northwestern Yeast Co., are to the prejudice and injury of the public and of respondent’s competitors and constitute unfair methods of competition in commerce within the intent and meaning of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
