ADULTERATION OF CEEAM.
On March 15, 1912, John W. Engle, of Frederick, Md., sold and?
delivered at the Union Station, Washington, D. C, a quantity of?
cream. The 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. As the findings of the?
analyst and report made indicated that the cream was adulterated?
within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, the said John W.?
Engle was afforded an opportunity to present to the Health Office?
evidence showing any fault or error in the findings of the analyst?
or examiner, but he failed to avail himself of the opportunity and?
the facts were reported to the United States Attorney for the District?
of Columbia.
On April 4, 1912, information was filed against the said John W.?
Engle in the Police Court of the District of Columbia, charging?
that the cream was adulterated for the reason that a valuable con??
stituent of the product, to wit, butter fat, had been left out or ab??
stracted in whole or in part. On. the same day the defendant ap??
peared in court and entered a plea of guilty and a fine of $5 was?
imposed.
