ALLEGED VIOLATION : On or about May 16 and 17, 1951, while a number of
dextro-amphetamine sulfate tablets were being held for sale at Field's Cut Rate
Drug Store, after shipment in interstate commerce, the defendant caused a

tity of the contents; and, Section 502 (f) (1), the labeling of the repackaged
tablets failed to bear adequate directions for use. Further misbranding, Sec-
tion 502 (e) (1), portions of the repackaged tablets failed to bear labels con-
taining the common or usual name of the drug.
DISPOSITION: September 24, 1953. The defendant having entered a plea of
nolo contendere, the court fined him $1.
