U.  S.  v.  James  B.  Horner.     Plea  of guilty.     Sentence  suspended.
ADULTERATION OF OIL COKIANDEE.
On November 4,1912, the United States Attorney for the Southern 
District of New York, 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 James B. Horner, New York, N. Y., 
alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on March 4, 1911, from the State of New York into the 
State of Pennsylvania, of a quantity of oil coriander which was 
adulterated. The product was labeled: ''Oil Coriander, James B. 
Horner, New York, Guaranty Legend, Serial No. 1148. 1 lb. net- 
weight."
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry 
of this Department showed the following results: Specific gravity 
(25° C), 0.8763; refruitive index (20° C), 1.4691; rotation (at 
20° C), +25.7°; soluble in 90 per cent alcohol and in 3 volumes 70 
per cent alcohol; carvone, present; ketones., 14.2 per cent; oil is not 
U. S. P.; adulterated with about 20 per cent of caraway oil. Adul- 
teration of the product was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it was sold under a name recognized in the United States Phar- 
macopoeia, to wit, oil of coriander, and differed from the standard of 
strength, quality, and purity of oil of coriander as determined by the 
tests laid down in said Pharmacopoeia official at the time of the inves- 
tigation and shipment in that it contained approximately 20 per cent 
of caraway oil, a cheaper substance than oil of coriander, and not a 
constituent of oil of coriander according to said Pharmacopoeia stand- 
ard, and the standard of strength, quality, and purity of said product 
was not plainly stated upon the box and container thereof.
On February 24, 1913, defendant entered a plea of guilty to the 
information and the court suspended sentence.
