REGULATION  9.  GUARANTY. 
(Section  9.) 
(a)  It  having  been  determined  that  the  legends  "  Guaranteed 
under  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act,  June  30,  1906,"  and  "  Guaranteed 
by  (name  of  guarantor),  under  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act,  June  30, 
1906,"  borne  on  the  labels  or  packages  of  food  and  drugs,  accom- 
panied by  serial  numbers  given  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  are 
each  misleading  and  deceptive,  in  that  the  public  is  induced  by  such 
legends  and  serial  numbers  to  believe  that  the  articles  to  which  they 
relate  have  been  examined  and  approved  by  the  Government  and 
that  the  Government  guarantees  that  they  comply  with  the  law,  the 
use  of  either  legend,  or  any  similar  legend,  on  labels  or  packages 
should  be  discontinued.  Inasmuch  as  the  acceptance  by  the  Sec- 
retary of  Agriculture  for  filing  of  the  guaranties  of  manufacturers 
and  dealers  and  the  giving  by  him  of  serial  numbers  thereto  con- 
tribute to  the  deceptive  character  of  legends  on  labels  and  packages, 
no  guaranty  in  any  form  shall  hereafter  be  filed  with  and  no  serial 
number  shall  hereafter  be  given  to  any  guaranty  by  the  Secretary 
of  Agriculture.  All  guaranties  now  on  file  with  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture  shall  be  stricken  from  the  files,  and  the  serial  numbers 
assigned  to  such  guaranties  shall  be  canceled. 
( b)  The  use  on  the  label  or  package  of  any  food  or  drug  of  any 
serial  number  required  to  be  canceled  by  paragraph  (a)  of  this 
regulation  is  prohibited. 
(c)  Any  wholesaler,  manufacturer,  jobber,  or  other  party  resid- 
ing in  the  United  States  may  furnish  to  any  dealer  to  whom  he  sells 
any  article  of  food  or  drug  a  guaranty  that  such  article  is  not  adul- 
terated or  misbranded  within  the  meaning  of  the  Food  and  Drugs 
Act,  June  30,  1906,  as  amended. 
(d)  Each  guaranty  to  afford  protection  shall  be  signed  by,  and 
shall  contain  the  name  and  address  of,  the  wholesaler,  manufacturer, 
jobber,  dealer,  or  other  party  residing  in  the  United  States  making 
the  sale  of  the  article  or  articles  covered  by  it  to  the  dealer,  and  shall 
be  to  the  effect  that  such  article  or  articles  are  not  adulterated  or 
misbranded  within  the  meaning  of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Act. 
(e)  Each  guaranty  in  respect  to  any  article  or  articles  should  be 
incorporated  in  or  attached  to  the  bill  of  sale,  invoice,  bill  of  lading, 
or  other  schedule,  giving  the  names  and  quantities  of  the  article  or 
articles  sold,  and  should  not  appear  on  the  labels  or  packages.
