differed from that which it purported and was represented to possess.

Represents * * * Vitamin A (U. S. P. Units) 300,000 Units - Vitamin D3
(U. S. P. Units) 1,000,000 Units" was false and misleading as applied to the
article, which contained less than those amounts of vitamins A and D2.
The article was adulterated and misbranded while held for sale after ship-
ment in interstate commerce.
