condemnation of a certain quantity of an article, labeled'in part " Pure Orange,"?
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at' East St. Louis,?
111., consigned by Sehroeder Grocer Prod. Co., St. Louis, Mo., alleging shipment?
on or about September 6, 1919, and transported from the State of Missouri into?
the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act.
Analj-sis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that it consisted of a sirupy mixture containing a small amount?
of oil of orange.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in that a substance containing an in??
sufficient quantity of orange oil had been mixed and packed with the article?
so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and had?
?been substituted wholly or in part.for,the.article.
Misbranding ?of the article was. alleged in that the statements on the labels?
of the bottles containing the article/regarding the article, were false and mis??
leading in that they implied a pure full-strength article, whereas the article?
was very deficient in oil of orange. Further misbranding was alleged in that?
the article was an imitation of, and was offered for sale under the distinctive?
name of, another article, to wit, " Pure Orange."
On November 21, 1919, C. H. Ozier, claimant, having consented to the entry?
of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was?
ordered by the court that the product be delivered to the claimant upon pay??
ment of the costs of the proceeding's and the filing of a bond, in conformity with?
section 10 of the act.
