Colic: * * *," and (bottle) "a 'first-aid' for sick animals * * * colic * * * 
for shock or exposure," were false and misleading since there was no scientific 
basis for regarding the article as a first aid for sick animals suffering the 
effects of sudden illness, shock, injury, or exposure; and the article would not 
act as an antispasmodic in nervous conditions, or as a restorative in exhaus- 
tion; 502(a)-the labeling contained statements which represented and sug- 
gested that the article was an adequate treatment for the diseases, conditions, 
and symptoms referred to therein, which statements were false and misleading 
since the article was not an adequate treatment for such diseases, conditions, 
or symptoms; and 502(f) (1)-the labeling of the article failed to bear ade- 
quate directions for use for the conditions and purposes for which it was 
intended.
