On June 13, 1916, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Michigan, 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 55 cans (hydrous) and 25 cans of wool fat (anhydrous),?
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Detroit, Mich., alleging?
that the article had been shipped on or about April 22, 1916, by the Hilton?
Chemical Co., Baltimore, Md., and transported from the State of Maryland?
into the State of Michigan, and charging adulteration and misbranding in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " One?
pound purified wool fat (hydrous) Lord Baltimore Brand Adeps Lanum Hydrous?
* * * " or " One pound purified wool fat ? Lord Baltimore Brand Lanum?
Anhydrous    *    *    *."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
contained not less than 35 per cent petroleum product calculated on water-free?
basis.
It was further alleged that the article was misbranded in violation of section?
8 of the Food and Drugs Act first general paragraph and paragraph first under?
drugs.
On October 20, 1916, 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.
CARL VEOOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
