its use may be dangerous to health, and against unsafe dosage and methods and

taken and that the use by elderly persons of a drug containing strychnine
may be dangerous.

on the labels of the article were false and misleading. The statements

ment of boils, carbuncles, ulcers, felons, and similar conditions implied by
the abbreviation "etc.," whereas the article would not be efficacious in the
treatment of such conditions.
