LIBELED :   9-16-61, E. Dist. S.C.
CHARGE: 502(a)-while held for sale, the words "Professional Sample," "Sam- 
ple-Not To Be Sold," "Physician's Sample," "Physician's Package," and simi- 
lar wording on the labels of some of the articles, were false and misleading as 
applied to these articles in the possession of a repacker and intended for sale
and not intended for use as "complimentary-not for sale" samples for physi- 
cians and others lawfully engaged in dispensing prescription drugs; 502(b) - 
some of the articles failed to bear a label containing (1) the name and place of 
business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, and (2) an accurate 
statement of the quantity of contents; 502(e)-some of the articles were not 
designated solely by a name recognized in an official compendium and their 
labels failed to bear (1) the common or usual name of the drug, and (2) the 
common or usual name of each active ingredient contained therein; 502(f) (1) 
-the labeling of some of the articles failed to bear adequate directions for use 
and the articles were not exempt from that requirement since they were drugs 
subject to the provisions of 503(b) (1) and their labels failed to bear an iden- 
tifying lot or control number from which it was possible to determine the com- 
plete manufacturing history of the package of the drug, as required by 
regulations; and 503(b) (4)-some of the articles were drugs subject to the 
provisions of 503(b) (1) and their labels failed to bear the statement "Caution: 
Federal law prohibits dispensing without prescription."
