District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 43 cases of Garden of Eden sugar corn, remaining in the?
original unbroken packages at Richmond, Va., alleging that the article had been?
shipped by the Jacob C. Shafer Co., Baltimore, Md., on or about June 16, 1920,?
and transported from the State of Maryland into the State of Virginia, and?
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article?

of the court was entered ordering the destruction of the product by the United?
