District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 600 cases, each containing 48 cans, of condensed milk,?
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging?
that the article had been transported from the State of Louisiana into the?
State of New York, the shipment having been received on or about December?
28, 1915, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
