[Supplement 103,
Adulteration of the article was charged, in substance, in the indictment for?
the reason that added water had been mixed and packed therewith so as to?
reduce and lower and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and had been?
substituted in part for milk, which the article purported to be, and for the?
