Six hours afterwards birds may have a liberal amount of Epsom Salts dissolved in water; 2-oz. to a gallon of water * * * Do not worm sick or emaciated birds," were false and misleading since they represented and suggested that the article, when used as directed, would be effective to remove worms from poultry, whereas it would not be effective in the treatment for any species of worms which infest poultry. Further misbranding, Section 502-(a), the name of the article, "Kama-Nico," was false and misleading since the designation implied that the article contained only the active ingredients kamala and nicotine, whereas the article also contained calomel as an active ingredient; and the label statement, "Each Tablet Contains: Powdered Extract Kamala ... 2.50 grs. (equal in drug strength to 7.50 grs. (Powdered Kamala))," was false and misleading since the article did not contain 2.5 grains of kamala extract equivalent to 7.5 grains of powdered kamala. Further misbranding, Section 502 (e), the article con- tained calomel and its label failed to state that calomel is a derivative of mercury.

Isolate sick animals and keep hogs in dry, comfortable quarters." Merco-Tabs No. 2, misbranding, Section 502 (a), the following label state- ments were false and misleading since they represented and suggested that the article would be of value in the prevention or treatment of diseases of poultry, whereas the article would not be of value for such purposes: "For drinking . water medication * * * Directions Dissolve 1 tablet in 1 gallon of drinking water. In aggravated cases use 2 tablets to 1 gallon of water. Allow no other water. At the first sign of an outbreak-isolate all infected birds in separate pen or house to avoid spreading the disease among the rest of the flock.

One tablet dissolved in a gallon of water will make the best intestinal disinfectant for poultry," and "For Fowl Cholera, Typhoid and Coccidiosis," were false and misleading since the article, when used as directed, would have no value in the treatment or prevention of fowl cholera, typhoid,- coccidiosis, or blacknead in poultry, nor would it be effective as an intestinal disinfectant.
