Co., Albion, N. T., remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Pitts- 
burgh, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about December

sylvania, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part, " Ontario Brand Condensed Tomatoes."

stance.

condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that 
the product ^should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
