NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2414.
(when pursuant to section 1 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On July 9, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Southern 
District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis- 
trict an information against Ed. J. Marburger, Mount Olive, Ill., 
alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on July 10, 1911, from the State of Illinois into the State 
of Missouri, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated. The 
product bore no label.
Bacteriological examination of a sample of the product by the 
Bureau of Chemistry of this Department showed the following 
results: 6,000,000 bacteria per cc, plain agar, after 2 days at 37° C.; 
100,000 B. coli group; 100 streptococci. Adulteration of the prod- 
uct was alleged in the information for the reason that it was com- 
posed in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On January 16, 1913, a plea of nolo contendere to the information 
was entered by the defendant and the court imposed a fine of $25 
and costs.
B. T. GALLOWAY, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
