[Supplement 91,
Adulteration oil the article was alleged in the libel in that a certain sub??
stance, to wit, 58.8 per cent of. sugar product, had been mixed and packed with?
the article so as to reduce and lower and injuriously affect its quality and?
strength.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in that it was offered for sale under?
the distinctive name of saccharin, when, in truth and in fact, it was not?
saccharin, but was another article, to wit, a mixture of saccharin and a sugar?
product.
On April 18, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
