ADULTERATION OF CHEESE.
On December 11, 1908, the United States Attorney for the Eastern 
District of Pennsylvania, 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 85 packages, 
each containing 12 jars of cheese, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages and in the possession of the Madsen Imperial 
Cheese Co. (Ltd.), doing business at 145 South Front Street, Phila- 
delphia, Pa., alleging that the product had been shipped on December 
10, 1908, from the State of Maryland into the State of Pennsylvania, 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The product was labeled: " Macaroons Imperial Cheese. ' Nothing 
better.'   Toronto, Can.   Detroit, Mich."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it contained an added deleterious ingredient, to wit, sodium 
borate, otherwise known as boric acid, which rendered it injurious 
to health.
On July 29, 1909, the said declared Imperial Cheese Co. having 
admitted the allegations in the libel, judgment of condemnation and 
forfeiture was entered and it was ordered by the court that the prod- 
uct should be redelivered to said claimant upon payment of all costs 
of the proceedings and the execution of bond in the sum of $500, in 
conformity with section 10 of the Act.

As set forth in the foregoing notice of judgment, it was alleged in 
the libel that sodium borate was otherwise known as boric acid. 
The error probably was due to a misinterpretation of the language 
used in reporting the case to the Department of Justice.
