11176.?Adultex-ation   of   chloroform.     TJ.   S.  v.   4  Cans   of   Chloroform.    De?
cree   of   condemnation   and   forfeiture.    Product   disposed   of   ac??
cording to law.     (F. & D. No. 16599.    I. S. No. 11123-t.    8. No. W-1150.)
On July 7, 1922, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in?
the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 4 cans of chloroform, remaining in the original un??
broken packages at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been?
shipped from New York, N. Y., on or about March 29, 1922, and transported?
from the State of New York into the State of California, and charging adultera??
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that it was turbid, upon evaporation it left a foreign odor,?
and it contained chlorids, impurities decomposable by sulphuric acid, and?
chlorinated decomposition products.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
was sold under and by a name recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia,?
and differed from the standard of strength, quality, and purity as determined?
by the test laid down in said Pharmacopoeia, official at the time of investigation.
On October 2, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product be disposed of according to law.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
