NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2324.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF SWEET PICKLES.
On November 27, 1912, the United States Attorney for the District 
of Columbia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the Police Court for said District an information against 
John T. D. Pyles, Washington, D. C, alleging the sale by said 
defendant at the District aforesaid, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on June 3. 1912, of a quantity of sweet pickles which were 
adulterated.   The product bore no label, but was sold as sweet pickles.
Examination of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chem- 
istry of this Department showed it to contain a large number of 
large worms floating about in the liquor, indicating a filthy condi- 
tion. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the information for 
the reason that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, 
and putrid animal or vegetable substance.
On November 27. 1912, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to 
the information and the court imposed a fine of $10.
W. M. HAYS, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
