27253. Adulteration of carbolic acid. IT. S. v. Morris Citrenbanm (Park "View 
Pharmacy). Plea of guilty. Fine, $10. (F. & D. no. 38637. Sample no. 
74724-B.)
This product was sold under and by a name recognized in the United States 
Pharmacopoeia and differed from the standard established therein, since it 
contained not more than 88.6 percent of carbolic acid; whereas the pharma- 
copoeia specifies that carbolic acid shall contain not less than 98 percent 
of carbolic acid.
On April 7, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against Morris Citrenbaum, trading as the Park View Phar- 
macy, Washington, D. C, charging sale by said defendant in the District of 
Columbia on or about June 27, 1936, of a quantity of carbolic acid that was 
adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was sold under and by 
a name recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia and differed from the 
standard of strength, quality, and purity as determined by the test laid down 
in said pharmacopoeia and its own standard of strength, quality, and purity 
was not declared on the container.
The information charged that it also was misbranded in violation of the 
Insecticide Act of 1910 and the Federal Caustic Poison Act, reported in notice 
of judgment no. 1554 published under the former act and notice of judgment 
no 77 published under the latter act.
On April 7, 1937, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court im- 
posed a fine of $10, covering all charges.
H. A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
