NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO, 2059.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs.Act.)
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING  OF NITROGLYCERIN TABLETS.
On July 6, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Eastern?
District of Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri??
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said?
district an information against John T. Milliken, doing business?
under the firm name and style of John T. Milliken & Co., St. Louis,?
Mo., alleging shipment by him, in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act, on or about November 11, 1911, from the State of Missouri into?
the State of Indiana, of a quantity of nitroglycerin tablets which?
were adulterated and misbranded. The product was labeled: " 1000?
Tablets No. 403 Nitroglycerin (Glonoin) 1-50 Grain 12962 Jno. T.?
Milliken & Co., Manufacturing Chemists, St. Louis, U. S. A. 11911.?
Guaranteed by Jno. T. Milliken & Co. under Food and Drugs Act,?
June 30, 1906, No, 1392."
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry?
of this Department showed nitroglycerin 0.012 grain per tablet.?
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the information for the?
reason that it was sold under the following professed standard of?
strength, to wit, one-fiftieth grain of nitroglycerin per tablet,?
whereas, in truth and in fact, the product was of a lower standard?
of strength, to wit,. 0.012 grain of nitroglycerin per tablet. Mis??
branding was alleged for the reason that the statement upon the?
label "1000 Tablets No. 403 Nitroglycerin (Glonoin) 1-50 Grain"?
was false and misleading for the reason that it conveyed the im??
pression that each tablet of the product contained one-fiftieth grain?
of nitroglycerin, whereas, in truth and in fact, each tablet thereof?
contained a less amount of nitroglycerin, to wit, 0.012 grain.
On July 8, 1912, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the?
information and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
