seizure and condemnation of 191 half-pint bottles of whisky at Washington, 
D. C., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about September 27, 1934, by the Catonsville Dist. Co., from Catonsville, Md., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article-

was entered and it was ordered that the product be disposed of in such manner 
as would not violate the provisions of the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
