ADULTERATION OF WILD CHERRY PHOSPHATE.
On January 26, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois, 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 L. G. Spencer, doing business as the Thomp- 
son Phosphate Co., Palos Park, Ill., alleging shipment by him, in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on June 17, 1910, from the 
State of Illinois into the State of Colorado of a quantity of Thomp- 
son
'
s Wild Cherry Phosphate which was adulterated. The product 
was labeled: "Thompson's Wild Cherry Phosphate."
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry 
of this Department showed the following results: Arsenic, as As203, 
parts per million, 100. Adulteration of the. product was alleged in 
the information for the reason that it contained an added poisonous 
ingredient, to wit, arsenic, in quantities of-5 milligrams per 100 cc 
of the product, and that the said arsenic was not used to preserve 
the product in any manner and the directions for its removal were 
not printed on the cover or the labels on the containers.
On October 4, 1912, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the 
information and the court imposed a fine of $25, with costs.
