for sale and sell in the District of Columbia, in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act, quantities of oysters which were adulterated.
Analyses of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this?
department showed that it contained added water.

that a valuable constituent of the said article, to wit, oyster solids, had been?
in part abstracted.
On November 29, 1921, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the in??
formation, and the court imposed a fine of $15.
