11136.?Adulteration of chloroform.     U. S. v. 164 Cans of Chloroform.    De?
fault decree  of condemnation,  forfeiture,  and  destruction.     (F.  &
D. No. 16549.    1. S. No. 2626-t.     S. No.  C-3677.)
On July 1, 1922, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Iowa, 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 con??
demnation of 164 cans of chloroform, remaining unsold in the original un??
broken packages at Fort Dodge, Iowa, alleging that the article had been shipped?
from New York, N. Y., on or about March 16, 1922, and transported from the?
State of New York into the State of Iowa, and charging adulteration in viola??
tion of the Food and Drugs Act.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this?
department showed that it was turbid and that it contained chlorinated?
decomposition products.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it was?
sold under and by a name recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia, but?
differed from the standard of strength, quality, or purity as determined by the?
test laid down in the said Pharmacopoeia.
On November 14, 1922, 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 be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
