Herb.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No.
136G8.    Sample No. .86S50-F.)
On September 20,1944, the United States attorney for the Northern District of
Indiana filed a libel against 1 metal container containing about 24 pounds of mouse
ear herb at Hammond, Ind., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about
August 8,1944, by J. L. Hopkins & Co., New York, N. Y.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in
part of a filthy substance by reason of the presence of rodent hair fragments and
insect fragments.
On November 13,1944, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
