NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2165.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF SYRUP.
On or about September 24, 1912, the United States Attorney for 
the District of Colorado, acting upon a report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 43 cases of syrup 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and in possession 
of L. L. Fassett, Monte Vista, Colo., alleging that the product had 
been shipped from the State of Nebraska into the State of Colorado, 
and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. The product was labeled: (On cases) "Fassett's 
Golden Drips Syrup Cane Flavor L. L. Fassett Monte Vista, Colo. 
24-No. 2, 12-No. 5, 6-No. 10, 3-No. 20." (On cans) « Fassett's 
Golden Drip Syrup—Cane Flavor—Packed by Farrell & Co., Omaha, 
for L. L. Fassett, Monte Vista, Colo."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it consisted wholly or in part of commercial glucose which had 
been substituted for drip syrup, thereby greatly reducing and inju- 
riously affecting the quality of said product. Misbranding was 
alleged for the reason that the labels on the product containing the 
statement "Golden Drip Syrup-Cane Flavor" were false and mis- 
leading and intended to deceive and mislead purchasers into believing 
that the product was drip syrup, whereas, in truth and in fact, it 
was not drip syrup, but contained commercial glucose in whole or 
in part.
On October 17, 1912, Farrell & Co., a corporation, Omaha, Nebr., 
claimant, having consented thereto, judgment of condemnation and 
forfeiture was entered, and it was further ordered that the product 
should be released to L. L. Fassett upon payment by the claimant 
of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bond in con- 
formity with section 10 of the Act.
