No. 7078.    S. No. E-487.)    '
On November 26, 1915, the United States attorney for the Southern Dis??
trict of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed?
in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 20 barrels of liquid eggs, consigned by the Baltic Chemical?
Co., Mt. Vernon, N. Y., and remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages?
at Mount Vernon, N. Y., alleging that the article was intended for export to a?
foreign country, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act. The product was labeled: (On shipping tag) "Baltic Chemical Company,?
Montreal, Canada."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
tained added deleterious ingredients which rendered the same injurious to?
health, to wit, boracic acid, and for the further reason that said article con??
sisted, in whole or in part, of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance,?
to wit, rotten and spotted eggs.
On December 15, 1915, 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 should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
CAEL VKOOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.?
