No. 1820. — Discovery of the Illicit Manufacture and Sale of Sedol Ampoules in Colombia.R eports com m unica ted by th e Colombian G overnm ent, March 18th and April 6 th , 1940.

Since A ugust 1939, in fo rm ation h ad been reaching th e Ministry of Labour , H ea l th and Social W elfare t h a t faked Sedol ampoules were in circulation, b u t the action ta k e n to t race th e responsible par ties proved unsuccessful. Recently , however, th ree boxes of twelve ampoules

each, one isolated am poule and three e m p ty boxes, all of th e m faked, have been seized, and definite evidence has thus been secured t h a t the re are now circulating in Colombia supplies of Sedol which have been m an u fac tu red illicitly. The characteris t ics of th is p roduc t are described in full in order t h a t all Governm ents , and especially those of America, m a y be in a position to take suitable action. The faked ampoules, a l though th e sealing is com para t ive ly well done, are easily dist inguished from th e au then tic artic le by th e type of le t te r ing used for the inscription 'L Sedol In jec tab le ” which differs in size from t h a t of th e real ampoules, as will be be seen from the accom panying p h o to g ra p h .1 The same p h o to g rap h also shows th a t there are two kinds of falsified labels. T ha t in th e centre is th e au th e n t ic label, those on the side are th e falsified ones. An exam ina tion of these labels will show t h a t the p r in t ing work L crude and lacks the nea tness of the original. The m ost im p o r ta n t differences are : on label No. 1, “ E n tre g u is te ” ins tead of “ Enreg is tré ” ; " Mohrpiné c lorhyd ia te ” ins tead of

Morphine clor ” ; “ Centigrames ” ins tead of “ centigram m es ” ; P o u r Gents gramm es ” instead of “ pour cen t g ram m es ” ; “ Solutio ” ins tead of “ Solution ” ; “ Cutanés ” in s tead of

cutanées ” ; “ Morphine Chio ” instead of “ Morphine chlor. ” ; “ Dixiems ” in s tead of dixièmes ” ; “ Ste Gie ” in s tead of “ Sté Gle ” ; " T h é rapeu t ique ” in s tead of “ T hérap eu

t iq u e s” ; “ Acien ” instead of “ Ancien ” ; “ H o rp i ta u x ” in s tead of “ H ô p i t a u x ” . Label No. 3 does n o t display th e spelling m istakes of label No. 1. There are a few, however, such as

Enregistre ” for “ E nreg istré ” , “ cutanees ” for “ cu tanées ” , an d a few changes of accents. On the o ther hand, the p r in t in g is v e ry poor. In addition , all the faked labels bea r the words “ Echan til lon G ra tu i t ”, whereas according to th e s ta te m e n t of the agen t for th e p roduc t

never have an y samples of Sedol been d is t r ibu ted in Colombia ” . N or can i t be assumed th a t these are new articles p u t up by th e firm in question, since on th is p o in t th e representa t ive answered : " th e supposition you are advancing m u s t be ruled out , since in fo rm ation on an y change in pack ing and p resen ta t ion would be given beforehand to all represen ta t ives of the Sedol m an u fac tu r in g firm ”. The boxes and ampoules in question were h an d e d over by pharm acis ts or found during visits of inspection. In two pharm acies , a box of Sedol was bought for $ 2 ( 3 . 4 0 Swiss gold francs), whereas the gen me article is sold to wholesalers a t 8 2 . 8 0 (4 . 7 6 Swiss gold francs) and b y wholesalers to th e public a t prices vary ing from § 5 to $ 6 . 5 0 (8 .5 0 to 1 1 .0 5 Swiss gold francs) a box, or 0 . 5 0 to 0 . 6 0 centavos ( 0 . 8 5 to 1 . 0 2 Swiss gold francs) per am poule. This purchase was m ade by the pharm acies in question from an i t in e ran t trafficker : P o p av an , Cauca. A pharm aceu tica l chem ist a t Cauca applied for a licence for th ree boxes conta in ing twelve ampoules each, which he said he had bough t from M. Alfonso L o m b an a and which proved on ex am ina t ion to have been faked. The chemists concerned have been in te rrogated and th e results of the inves t igat ion now proceeding are awaited before an y decision is tak e n regarding th em . I t has n o t been possible to trace M. Lombana or the other selling agents.

In 1939, 24,000 ampoules of real Sedol were sold in Colombia, this being the q u an t i ty im ported b y th e m a n u fa c tu re r ’s agen t w ith the permission of the G overnm ent, Colombia does not m an u fac tu re ampoules, the supplies required for its own m anufac tu res being im ported . The ampoules used for this faked p ro d u c t m u s t therefore have come from abroad . The neatness of th e sealing m akes it doubtful t h a t th ey could have been filled in Colombia, since m achines for th e purpose are not know n to exist in th e coun try . I t is h ighly probable th a t th e labels and boxes were m ade in Colombia. The sales in Colombia of faked Sedol are no t large enough to yield an adequate re tu rn on the invested capita l and to w a r ra n t the risk which is run . I t is therefore probable t h a t the faked p roduc t was in tended for sale in neighbouring countries and in the U nited States.
