17649. Adulteration and Misbranding of cramp bark. IT. S. "V. 4 Bales of 
Cramp Bark. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 24926.    I. S. No. 2256.    S. No. 3270.)
Samples of a product invoiced as true cramp bark having been found to be a 
bark other than cramp bark, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter 
to the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
On July 28, 1930, the said United States attorney filed in the District Court 
of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 4 bales of alleged true cramp bark, remaining in the original 
packages at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by 
E. A. Dobbin & Co., from Lenoir, N. C, on or about June 17, 1930, and had been 
transported from the State of North Carolina into the State of New York, and 
charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated, in that it was 
sold under a name recognized in the National Formulary and differed from the 
standard of strength, quality, or purity, as determined by the test laid down in 
said formulary official at the time of investigation.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an imitation of 
and offered for sale under the name of another article.
On September 10, 1930, no 'claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
