(Glen pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
U.   S.  v.  2  Barrels  Vanilla  Extract.   Decree   of  condemnation   by  default.
Product ordered  destroyed.
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF VANILLA EXTRACT.
On December 26, 1912, the United States Attorney for the District 
of New Jersey, 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 two barrels, each contain- 
ing 20 gallons of so-called vanilla extract, remaining unsold in the 
original unbroken packages at Keyport, N. J., alleging that the prod- 
uct had been shipped on or about November 26, 1912, by David 
Lo wen thai, New Rochelle, N. Y., and transported from the State of 
New York into the State of New Jersey, and charging adulteration 
and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
product bore no label but was sold as vanilla extract.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it consisted wholly or in part of an imitation extract of vanilla 
which had been colored in a manner to conceal inferiority, and had 
been substituted wholly or in part for extract of vanilla. Misbrand- 
ing was alleged for the reason that the product was an imitation and 
offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article, to wit, 
vanilla extract.
On February 27, 1913, no claimant having appeared for the prop- 
erty, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it 
was ordered by the court that the product should be destroyed by the 
United States marshal.
