It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article had been adulterate 
in violation of said act, in that an evaporated and dried apple product had bee:
mixed and packed with and substituted wholly or in part for the said article.

calculated to deceive and mislead purchasers thereof, in that the said statemenj 
represented that the article was made from selected apples and was apple ci&4 
vinegar, whereas it was not. Misbranding was alleged for the further reasof 
that the article was offered for sale and sold under the name of another article
