NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 1499.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On or about October 21, 1911, Harvey L. Zimmerman, Frederick,?
Md., sold and delivered at the Union Station, Washington, D. C, a?
quantity of milk. The Health Officer of the District of Columbia,?
acting under authority of the Secretary of Agriculture, caused a?
sample from the above delivery to be procured and analyzed. As the?
findings of the analyst and report made indicated that the milk was?
adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, the said?
Harvey L. Zimmerman was afforded an opportunity to present to?
the health office evidence showing any fault or error in the findings?
of the analyst, but failed to avail himself of such opportunity, and the?
facts were reported to the United States Attorney for the District of?
Columbia.
On February 26, 1912, an indictment was returned against the?
said Zimmerman charging that the milk was adulterated in that it had?
been mixed and packed with a substance, to wit, water, which reduced?
and lowered its quality.
On March 6, 1912, the defendant appeared in court and entered a?
plea of guilty and a fine of $25 was imposed by the court.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.?
