-?:
On November 24, 1915, the United States attorney for the Southern District?
of New York, 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 15 cases, each containing 48 cans, of sweetened condensed?
[skimmed] milk, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at New?
York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped, on or about November 16,?
1915, by the P. E. Sharpless Co., Philadelphia, Pa., and transported from the?
State of Pennsylvania into the State of New York, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled, in part: " Four?
dozen * * * Sweetened Condensed Skimmed Milk P. E. Sharpless Co.,?
Phila. Pa.,    *    *    *    for manufacturing purposes only    *    *    *."'
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance, to wit,?
filthy condensed [skimmed] milk.
On December 15, 1915, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
