The merchandise in question, known as “chrysarobin,” was assessed for duty by the Collector of Customs as a medicinal preparation, under Tariff Act July 24, 1897, c. 11, § 1, Schedule A, par. 68, 30 Stat. 154 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1631], and is claimed by the importer as properly dutiable under paragraph 20 (30 Stat. 152 [U. S. Comp.
