14704. Adulteration and misbranding  of so-called bealtb water.     V. S. v.
Twenty-One    5-Gallon    Bottles    of    Williams    Acme    Spring    Health 
Water.     Default   decree   of   forfeiture   and   destruction   entered.
(F. & D. No. 19903.    I. S. No. 13598-v.    S. No. E-5185.)
On March 19, 1925, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of twenty-one 5-gallon bottles of Williams Acme spring 
health water, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Brooklyn, N. Y., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by Williams Bros., from Norfolk, Va., 
on or about February 4, 1925, and transported from the State of Virginia 
into the State of New York, and charging adulteration and misbranding in 
violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " Williams 
Acme Spring Health Water Williams Brothers Norfolk, Va."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid substance.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statement " Health Water," 
borne on the label, was misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser.
On June 18, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be 
destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. JABDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
