 showed that the potency of each tablet was equivalent to less than two-thirds
of a U. S. P. digitalis unit.

cus) 6510 mgms., with excipients and coating. Each tablet is equivalent in

differed from that which it was represented to possess, i. e., "one U. S. P.
Digitalis Unit."
Misbranding, Section 502 (a), the label statement "Each tablet is equivalent
in potency to one U. S. P. Digitalis Unit" was false and misleading.
