and misleading since the article was not effective for such purposes; and,
Section 502 (e) (2), the article was fabricated from two or more ingredients,
and its label failed to bear the common or usual name of each active ingredient
since "Medicated Alcohol" and "Pyoktanin" are not the common or usual names,
respectively, for isopropyl alcohol and methyl violet.
