NOTICE  OF JUDGMENT  NO. 2216.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION   OF  IIILK.
On August 30, 1912, the United States Attorney for the District 
of Connecticut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district an 
information against J. F. Brown, North Stonington, Conn., alleging 
shipment by him, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on Septem- 
ber 8, 1911, from the State of Connecticut into the State of Rhode 
Island, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated. The product 
bore no label.
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry 
of this Department showed the following results: Specific gravity, 
1.0331; total solids, 11.32 per cent; fat, 2.80 per cent; solids not fat, 
8.52 per cent. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the infor- 
mation for the reason that a portion of the fat had been wholly or in 
part abstracted or left out, and in that it consisted in part of a filthy, 
decomposed, and putrid animal or vegetable substance.
On September 6, 1912, defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere 
to the information and the court imposed a fine of $40.
W. M. HATS, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
