Among and typical of the false statements and representations contained in the aforesaid advertisements, disseminated and caused to be disseminated by respondents as aforesaid, are the :following: "IS WONDERFUL TO FEEL SO GOOD AGAIN" DECLARES MRS. LOGAN Decatur Lady Wns Never As Pleasantly Surprised As With the Results Gly-Cas Gave Her; Says, "Words Cannot Express Her Appt·eciation of the Modern Herbal Remedy."

"For about twenty years before I began Gly-Cas I bad felt miserable," said Mrs. Nora Logan, 1414 Fifth Ave., South, a native of this section and well knowri resident of this city, recently in talking with the Special Gly-Cas 1\Ian who is daily meeting the local public at (Picture of Mrs. Nora Logan) the Loyd's Drug Store, this city.

"Faulty bowel action began my health problems," continued Mr:o. Logan, "I was often confined to bed, lacked the strength to do anything and what little housework I tried to do was an awful drudgery for me. Very few foods I ate agreed with me nnd most of them caused me awful distress with gas, boating and indigestion after every meal. I became extremely nervous, was on such a strict diet I lost over thirty pounds and it seemed I simply could not locate a medicine to give me the results I wanted. My kidneys acted so frequently that my sleep and rest was disturbed, dreadful pains settled across my back and those sharp, stabbing pains were often more than I felt I could endure. But in spite of the failure of the many medicines I tried in my case I finally got results with Gly- Cas • • • it seemed to have just what I had been wanting. "A good friend recommended that I try this Gly-Cas remedy and now I am so thankful I followed this advice," continued Mrs. Logan, ":"'evel' was I so surprised ns when this vegetable capsule remedy began to give me the first relief I bad had in many years. 1\Iy bowels began to act regularly and with relief from the effects of those clogged intestinal impurities I was soon feeling better than I had even hoped for. Soon I was eating and enjoying foods I had dared not touch before, am not troubled with gas, bloating, or indigestion after eating, sleep fine, am not so nervous and really enjoy living again. I eat nourishing foods now and enjoy them too, have gained eight pounds and have ample strength and energy to do all my own work without tiring. Even those aches and pains do not bother me now and it is really hard for my words to £·xpress my true appreciation of all these Gly-Cas capsules have done for me." AGONY OF STABBING PAIN HAS LEFT HIS Shoulders AND LEGS Huntington llan Now Walks Good, Sleeps Well; Has Gained Twenty Pounds: Mr . .Albert Elkins So Happy With Surprisfng Action of th; Gly-Cus Complaint 32F.T.C.

There are hundreds of Huntington residents today who appreciate the TRUE VALUE of this modern capsule remedy, Gly-Gas and have only the highest of praise for it. They have learned through (Picture of Mr. Albert Elkins) actual use how Gly-Cas tends to improve digestion, relieve som:ness, gas and bloating, dizzy spells, biliousness, so-called rheumatic and neuritis pains, nervousness, headaches, backaches which so frequently are caused by faulty bowel action and which cannot be understood or 'accounted for. "I am now enjoying better health than I have in years and want to give full credit to this Gly-Cas remedy," Raid 1\lr. Albert Elkins, 1211 26th Street, Huntington, a well known and highly respected local gentleman who has lived here a number of years, recently in praising Gly-Cas' action to the Gly-Cas Man who is "daily meeting the local people at the Boggess Drug Store, 906 T.b,ird Ave., this city;

"A stubborn case of constipation had bothered me for years," continued Mr. Albert Elkins. "In later years I developed those terrible so-called neuritis pains and what I endured with this awful suffering could not possibly be described in words alone. l\Iy shoulders ached and pained terribly and those sharp, stabbing pains ln my arms and legs were almost more than I could stand at times. I could hardly walk at all and I could not sleep when the suffering was so severe. I got practically no rest in my condition for most nights it was past midnight before I could get to sleep. Being so miserable all the time I lost weight and strength and could see nothing ahead of me but continued suffering. But now • • • thanks to Gly-Cas I am feeling like my former self again.

"I did not know a medicine like Gly-Cas existed until I began its use," continned Mr. Elkins. "From the first few doses I begun to show rapid improvement and now my bowels are regular and with relief from the effects of thoSt! clogged Impurities I am feeling better than I have in years. Those awful aches and pains have gone now, sleep and rest well, have gained twenty pounds and have only the highest of praise to offer for this modern capsule remedy. No wonder Gly-Cas has become so popular here in Huntington in this short time it has been known here • • • for it is a medicine of merit." Assist nature in this condition; prevent invasion of bacteria into the intestinal glands by permitting proper elimination with Gly-Cas' use. Through the use of the statements and representations hereinabove set forth and in statements and representations similar thereto, not specifically set out herein, all of which purport to be descriptive of the therapeutic properties of said preparation, respondents represent, directly and by implication, that their said preparation is a cure or remedy for constipation; indigestion; gas; bloated and sour stomach; rheumatic and neuritis pains; sore and aching muscles, limbs, and joints; backaches; dizziness; nervousness; kidney trouble; sleeplessness; biliousness; and headaches, and that it constitutes a competent and effective ,treatment for such conditions. GLY-CAS MEDICINE CO., ETC, 1303 1299 Complaint It is further represented by the respondents that the aforesaid disorders and conditions are typical symptoms of constipation or faulty elimination and that the existence of one or more of such symptoms indicates that constipation is the basic cause of such disorders and conditions. Respondents also represent that the use of their preparation "Gly-Cas" will completely cleanse the system, remove toxic impurities, and prevent invasion of intestinal glands by bacteria, and that it is a body COI'\ditioner and purifier which will restore one to normal health.

PAR. 5. The foregoing representations are grossly exaggerated, false, and misleading. Respondents' preparation "Gly-Cas" is not a cure or remedy for constipation and has no therapeutic value in the treatment thereof, in excess of the temporary relief afforded by causing a partial evacuation of the intestinal tract. It will not completely cleanse the system, remove toxic impurities, or prevent invasion of intestinal glands by bacteria. Said preparation is not a body conditioner or purifier and will not restore normal health. The disorders and conditions such as indigestion; gas; bloated and sour stomach; rheumatic and neuritis pains; sore and aching muscles, limbs, and joints; backache; dizziness; nervousness; kidney trouble; sleeplessness; biliousness; and headaches are not typical symptoms of constipation or faulty elimination but are often caused by other systemic disorders. ·when such conditions or disorders are due to causes other than constipation or faulty elimination, the use of respondents' preparation will have no therapeutic effect. To the extent that constipation or faulty elimination may be the contributing factor to, or the basic cause of, such conditions or disorders, respondents' preparation has no therapeutic value in the treatment thereof in excess of the temporary relief afforded by causing a partial evacuation of the intestinal tract.

P.AR. 6. The use by the respondents of the foregoing false, deceptive, and misleading statements and representations, and others of a similar nature disseminated as aforesaid, has had, and now has, the tendency and capacity to, and does, mislead and deceive a substantial portion of the purchasing public into the erroneous and mistaken belief that such false statements, representations,· and advertisements are true and to induce a substantial portion of the purchasing public because of such erroneous and mistaken belief to purchase respondents' preparation.

PAR. 7. The aforesaid acts and practices of the respondents, as herein alleged, are all to the prejudice and injury of the public and Findings 32F. '1'. C.

constitute unfair and deceptive acts and practices in commerce within the intent and meaning of the Federal Trade Commission Act. REPORT, FINDINGS AS TO THFl FACTs, AND Onder Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Federal Trade Commission, on the 21st day of December 1940, is- !;:ued and subsequently served its complaint in this proceeding upon respondents l\Iedora Whinrey and Robert ll. Whinrey, charging said l\Iedora Whinrey, individually and trading under the style and firm name of Gly-Cas Medicine Co., and Robert B.
