Crazy Well water, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Los Angeles,?
Calv alleging that the article had been shipped on or about June 3,1916, by the Crazy?
Well Water Co., Mineral Wells, Tex., from Weatherford, Tex., and transported from?
the State of Texas into the State of California, and charging adulteration in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act.
