26,1914, at the District aforesaid, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, of a quantity?
of spirits of camphor which was misbranded.

so as to mislead and deceive the purchaser in that said spirits of camphor was com??
posed largely of alcohol, and the label on the bottle thereof failed to state the quantity?
and proportion of alcohol contained therein.
