NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 1039.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF " CREME WAFELS."
On May 15, 1911, the United States Attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois, acting upon the report by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed information in the District Court of the United States 
for said district against Reinder De Boer and John H. Dak, doing 
business as De Boer & Dak, alleging shipment by them, in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act, on July 26, 1910, from the State of Illinois 
into the State of Pennsylvania of " Creme Wafers " which were adul- 
terated. The product was labeled: (On shipping case) : "Made m 
Holland. Stow away from the boilers. Perishable." (On can): 
" Non Plus ultra US Wafers." (Top of can) : " Non plus ultra 
I. J. S. Wafels. Creme Wafers." (On side of can) : " Made in Hol- 
land. Creme Wafers, 2.25 K. Sole distributors for the U S. A. 
De Boer & Dak, Importers, Chicago, Ill."
Analysis by the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture showed the product to contain 0.043 per cent of 
boric acid. Adulteration was, therefore, alleged for the reason that 
the said product contained an added deleterious ingredient, to wit, 
boric acid, which rendered such product injurious to health.
On May 19, 1911, the defendants entered a plea of guilty and were
fined $10 and costs.

Secretary of Agriculture.
