tion  by consent  of  consignee.     (F.  & D.  nos.  38258,  38259.     Sample nos. 
7683-C, 7684-C.)
This case involved interstate shipments of cream that was in various stages 
of decomposition.
On or about August 1, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of West Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four 
cans of cream at New Martinsville, W. Va., alleging that the article was shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about July 30 and July 31, 1936, in various 
shipments by Albert Pryor from Wipple, Ohio; Mrs. T. E. Medley from 
Lower Salem, Ohio; Norman Long from Lowell, Ohio; and Bowser Sales & 
Trading Corporation from New Matamoras, Ohio, and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted of a decomposed 
and putrid animal substance.
On August 3, 1936, with the consent of the Valley Creamery Co., consignee, 
New Martinsville, W. Va., and the Bowser Sales & Trading Corporation, it was
ordered that the product be destroyed immediately, as unfit for human consump- 
tion.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
