On or about January 20, 1919, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of Ohio, 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 1,300. 5-minim and 5,TOO 10-minim capsules of an article 
purporting to be East India santal oil, at Cincinnati, Ohio, consigned on July 16 
and .September 2, 1918., by the Evans Drug Mfg. Co., Greensburg, Pa., alleging 
that the article had been shipped and transported from the State of Pennsyl- 
vania into the State of Ohio, and charging adulteration and misbranding in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. Part of the boxes containing the articles 
were labeled in part, "10© Soluble Elastic Capsules Guaranteed Weather-Proof 
and Non-Collapsible Santal Oil (East India) 5 Min." The remainder were la- 
beled in part, " 100 Soluble Elastic Capsules Guaranteed Weather-Proof and 
Non-Collapsible Santal Oil (East India) 10 Min." Some of the -packages were 
labeled en the outside, " 100 E. I. Santal Oil, 5 Min." The remainder were 
labeled on the outside, " 100 E. I. Santal Oil, 10 Min."
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- 
ment showed that the -con-tents of the two sizes of capsules averaged 4.5 minims 
and 8.63 minims, respectively, being short in volume 10 per cent and 13 per 
cent, respectively, .and consisted of a mixture containing approximately 60 per 
cent of cottonseed oil.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that cotton- 
seed oil had been mixed and packed with it so as to reduce, lower, and inju- 
riously affect its quality and strength-, and had been substituted in part for pure 
East India santal oil, which the article purported to be.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an Imitation of, 
and offered for sale under the [.distinctive] name of, another article, to wit, 
East India oil of santal, when, in truth and in fact, said drug was a product
consisting in part of East India oil of santal and largely of cottonseed oil, and 
for the further reason that the article was labeled, " Capsules * * * Santal 
Oil * * * 5 Min." and " 10 Min.," respectively, when, in truth and in fact, 
it was a product containing less than that amount.
On April 15, 1920, 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.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
