quantity of alleged milk. Dr. William C. Woodward, health officer?
of the District of Columbia, acting by authority of the Secretary of?

contain an excessive amount of water. As the findings of the analyst?
and report made indicated that the product was adulterated within?
the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the said?

attorne}^ for the District of Columbia.
In due course a criminal information was filed in the Police Court?
of the District of Columbia against the said Frank H. Markell, charg??
ing the above sales and alleging that the milk in question was adul??
terated in that it had been mixed and packed with a substance, to?
wit, water, which reduced and lowered its quality.
