NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2232.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
MISBRANDING  OF VODKA.
On September 25, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Dis- 
trict of Massachusetts, 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 170 bottles of 
vodka, remaining unsold and in the original unbroken packages, at 
Boston, Mass., alleging that the product had been shipped by the 
Russian Monopole Co., New York, N. Y., and transported from the 
State of New York into the State of Massachusetts, and charging 
misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product 
was labeled in Russian, and was also labeled in English as follows: 
"Monopole Vodka, Made and Bottled in Russian Monopole Co."
Misbranding of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that the packages thereof bore a statement, design, or device regard- 
ing it and the ingredients and substances contained therein which 
was false and misleading in a certain particular, that is, words and 
figures in a foreign language appeared thereon, which would lead a 
purchaser to believe that the article was a product from a foreign 
country, whereas in truth and in fact it was not such a product.
On October 29, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the prop- 
erty, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it 
was further ordered that the product be destroyed by the United
States marshal.
W. M. HAYS,
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
