NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 1033.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF POWDERED MILK.
On March 22, 1911, the United States Attorney for the District of 
New Jersey, acting upon the report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed a libel for seizure and condemnation in the District Court of 
the United States, against 10 barrels of powdered milk, in possession 
of Maurgauries & Shipman, trading as the M. & S. Cocoa and Choco- 
late Co., Jersey City, N. J., consigned to that company by William J. 
Tulin, New York, N. Y., and delivered to it by wagon, and charged 
Adulteration of the product in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
It was impossible to determine the nature of the labels on the prod- 
ucts on account of mutilation, but analysis by the Bureau of Chem- 
istry of this Department showed that, while the substance generally 
was sound, a portion of the milk next the sides and ends of the 
barrels was decomposed and putrid. Adulteration was therefore 
charged for the reason that the product consisted in part of a de- 
composed and putrid animal substance.
On April 18, 1911, the court, upon the nonappearance of claimants 
on the day specified in the notice duly given, ordered judgment by 
default, and decreed that the product in question be condemned and 
forfeited to the United States, and forthwith destroyed, as being 
adulterated as charged in the libel.
JAMES WILSON, 
Secretary of Agriculture.
