On July 24, 1919, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Vir??
ginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district an information against the Noah?
Products Corporation, a corporation, Richmond, Va., alleging shipment by said?
defendant company, on or about September 4, 1918, from the State of Virginia?
into the State of South Carolina, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, of?
a quantity of extract ginger which was misbranded. The article was labeled in?
part, " 2J Ozs. Noah's Extract Ginger. Noah Products Corporation, Richmond,?
Va."
Examination of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department?
showed that it was short volume.
'    Misbranding of the article was alleged" in the information for the reason that?
the statement "2-J 'Ozs," borne on the labels attached to the bottles containing
66	
BUREAU OP  CHEMISTRY.	
[Supplement 92,
tlie article, was false and misleading in that it represented that the contents of?
said bottles was not less than 2-J fluid ounces, whereas, in truth and in fact,?
the contents of said bottles was not 2| fluid ounces but was a less amount.
On October 8, 1919, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the?
information, and the court imposed a fine of $25.
