NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 3639.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
U. S. v. Two Barrels Gelatine.   Decree of condemnation by consent.   Goods 
ordered   destroyed  unless  certain  conditions met.
ADULTERATION OF GELATINE.
On February 10, 1913, the United States Attorney for the Eastern 
District of Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis- 
trict a libel for the seizure and condemnation of two barrels of 
gelatine remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and in 
possession of B. Riley Hauk Supply Co., St. Louis, Mo., alleging 
that the product had been shipped by the W. K. Jahn Co., Chicago, 
111., and transported from the State of Illinois into the State of 
Missouri and alleging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The product was labeled: " X." (Design, picture of an 
owl.) (On tag tacked to each barrel) " Vienna, Austria, New York. 
The W. K. Jahn Co. 165 No. Franklin St. Chicago, B. Riley Hauk 
Supply Co. St. Louis, Mo."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it contained arsenic in the amount of 13 parts per million, 
which arsenic rendered it injurious to health and was an added 
poisonous and deleterious ingredient.
On April 24, 1913, the said W. K. Jahn Co., claimant, having 
consented thereto, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was en- 
tered and it was ordered by the court that the product be destroyed 
by the United States marshal unless said claimant should label it 
" For technical purposes only. Not to be used for food," and should 
pay all the costs of the proceedings and execute bond in the sum of 
$500 in conformity with section 10 of the Act.
B. T. GALLOWAY, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
