Bottles  of  Syrup  of Hypopbospbites  Comp.  N.  F.     Default  decree 
of condemnation.    Product delivered to Veterans' Administration.
(P. & D. no. 33133.    Sample nos. 62517-A, 5080-B.)
Sample bottles of the product involved in this case were found to contain 
less than 1 pint, the volume declared on the label.
On or about July 27, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of 
Maryland, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 363 bottles of syrup 
of hypophosphites compound at Perry Point, Md., alleging that the article had 
been shipped in interstate commerce, on or about May 29, 1933, by James Good, 
Inc., from Philadelphia, Pa., and charging misbranding in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.   The article was labeled, " One Pint."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the label, 
" One Pint", was false and misleading.
On October 1, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be delivered to the Veterans' 
Administration.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
