ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On or about May 19,1910, John G. Reed and John T. Brosius, doing?
business as the Green Meadow Dairy Company, Washington, D. C,?
sold at said city of Washington a quantity of milk. Dr. William C.?
Woodward, health officer of the District of Columbia, acting under?
authority of the Secretary of Agriculture, caused a sample from the?
above delivery to be procured and analyzed, and it was found to con??
tain tubercle bacilli. As the findings of the analyst and report thereon?
indicated that the milk was adulterated within the meaning of the Food?
and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the said John G. Reed and John T.?
Bi osius were afforded an opportunity for hearing, and as it appeared?
after hearing held that the said sale was in violation of the act, the said?
health officer reported the facts to the United States attorney for the?
District of Columbia.
In due course a criminal information was filed in the Police Court of?
said District against said John G. Reed and John T. Brosius charging?
the above sale and alleging that the milk was adulterated in that it was?
the product of a diseased cow and consisted in whole or in part of a?
filthy animal or vegetable substance, to wit, tubercle bacilli, an added?
deleterious ingredient which rendered said food injurious to health.
On January 26, 1911, the defendant John T. Brosius appeared as?
manager of said firm and entered a plea of guilty, whereupon the court?
imposed a fine of $10, a nolle prosequi being entered as to defendant?
John G. Reed.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4- of the Food, and Drugs
Act of June 30, 1906.
