NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2336.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF LINSEED OIL.
On October 5, 1911, the United States Attorney for the District 
of Kansas, 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 1 barrel of linseed oil 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken package and in possession 
of C. H. Cain, Tonganoxie, Kans., alleging that the product had 
been shipped on or about March 20, 1911, by the Gatlin Manufactur- 
ing Co., Kansas City, Mo., and transported from the State of Mis- 
souri into the State of Kansas, and charging adulteration and mis- 
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product 
was labeled: " Storm Proof Lead and Oil Company, Kansas City, 
Missouri, Improved Pioneer Brand Linseed Oil, Raw."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the rea- 
son that 50 per cent thereof was foreign mineral oil and was pur- 
chased as pure linseed oil for the purpose of sale as such pure linseed 
oil of the standard strength, quality, and purity as determined by 
the test laid down in the United States Pharmacopoeia or National 
Formulary. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the product 
was labeled as set forth above, it being intended by said label and 
quotation to publish and have it understood that the product was 
pure linseed oil, raw, manufactured within and under the restric- 
tions of the Pure Food and Drugs Act, whereas, in fact, it contained 
only 50 per cent of pure linseed oil, the remaining 50 per cent 
being foreign mineral oil, and said label and quotation was false 
and misleading.
On January 8,1912, no claimant having appeared for the property,
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was
further ordered that the product should be sold by the United States
marshal.
W. M. HAYS,
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
