(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
U. S. v. 15 Carboys Oil of Wintergreen.   Decree of condemnation lay con- 
sent.   Product released on bond.
MISBRANDING OF OIL OF WINTERGREEN.
On February 21,1913, 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 
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 15 carboys of oil 
of wintergreen remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages 
and in possession of the Erie Railroad Co. at New York, N. Y., 
alleging that the product had been shipped during the month of 
February, 1913, from the Heyden Chemical Works, Garfield, N. J., 
and transported from the State of New Jersey into the State of New 
York, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The product was labeled: " Net 115 pounds oil of wintergreen," 
and also bore the name of the consignee and consignor.
Misbranding of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that the carboys were branded as set forth above, which was a state- 
ment, design, and device regarding the product which was false and 
misleading as to the contents of said carboys, because in truth and in 
fact they contained methyl salicylate.
On April 18, 1913, the said Heyden Chemical Works, claimant, 
having consented thereto, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture 
was entered and it was ordered by the court that the product should 
be redelivered to said claimant upon payment of the costs of the 
proceedings and the execution of bond in the sum of $1,000 in con- 
formity with section 10 of the Act.
