(F. & D. No. 16586.    I. S. No. 5579-t.     S. No. E-4025.)
On July 5, 1922,. the United States attorney for the District of New Hamp- 
shire, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and 
condemnation of 30 barrels of vinegar at Woodsville, N. H., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by P. Garlock Co., from Newark, N. Y., on or about 
October 27, 1921, and transported from the State of New York into the State 
of New Hampshire, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Pure Apple Cider 
Vinegar    *    *   '*    Mfg. By P. Garlock Co. Newark, N. Y."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that evap- 
orated apple products vinegar had been mixed and packed with and substi- 
tuted wholly or in part for apple cider vinegar.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that the statement ap- 
pearing in the labeling, " Pure Apple Cider Vinegar," was false and misleading 
and deceived and misled the purchaser. Misbranding was alleged for the fur- 
ther reason that the article was an imitation of and was offered for sale under 
the distinctive name of another article.
On October 20, 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 sold by the United States marshal.
