On May 9, 1919, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, 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 7 cases, each containing 6 1-gallon jugs of Orange Julep 
Syrup, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Indiana, Pa., 
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about April 22, 1919, by the 
Southern Fruit Julep Co., Baltimore, Md., arid transported from the State of 
Maryland into the State of Pennsylvania, and charging adulteration and mis- 
branding in violation' of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled 
in part: (On jugs) "Orange Julep Syrup." (On display cards) "Drink 
Orange Julep Made From Fresh Ripe Fruit (design of orange twigs bearing 
blossoms) Manufactured by Southern Fruit Julep Company."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason 
that it consisted of sugar sirup artificially colored with orange color, and for 
the further reason that a product composed of sugar sirup, water, and artificial 
color had been substituted for the product made from fresh ripe oranges, which 
the article purported to be, and for the further reason that it was artificially 
colored in a manner whereby its inferiority was concealed.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that the statements, 
to wit, " Orange Julep Syrup," " Orange Julep," and " Made From Fresh Ripe 
Fruit," together with designs of oranges and twigs bearing blossoms, were 
false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser, and for the fur- 
ther reason that it was an imitation of, and was offered for sale under the 
distinctive name of, another article.
On May 26, 1919, the said Southern Fruit Julep Co., claimant, having filed 
an answer, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
ordered by the court that the product be released to said claimant upon the 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the 
sum of $200, in conformity with section 10 of the act.

72S1. Misbrandins of Knoxit Globules. TJ. S. * * * v. 1 Gross Bottles 
of Knoxit Globules. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, 
and destruction.    (P. & D. No. 10375.    I. S. No. 14899-r.    S. No. B-1459.)
On May 26, 1919, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania, 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 1 gross bottles of Knoxit Globules, consigned by the Beggs 
Mfg. Co., Chicago, Ill., remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at 
Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about June 
21, 1918, and transported from the State of Illinois into the State of Pennsyl- 
vania, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as 
amended.
Analysis of a sample of the article made in the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed that it consisted essentially of balsam of copaiba and oil 
of cassia.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the 
reason that the label and circular contained certain statements, regarding the 
curative and therapeutic effects of the article and the ingredients or substances 
contained therein, which were false and fraudulent in that the article would 
not produce the curative or therapeutic effects which purchasers were led to 
expect by those statements in the treatment or cure of cystitis, inflammation 
of the HKicous membranes, gonorrhoea, and blennorrhcea, having at the same 
time an action soothing and efficacious upon the kidneys and bladder, and 
?which statements were applied to the article with a knowledge of their falsity 
for the purpose of defrauding the purchasers thereof.
On June 16, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
