CHARGE: 502(a)-when shipped, the labeling contained false and misleading 
representations that the article was an adequate and effective treatment for 
canker sores and denture sores; 502(c)-the information required by the Act 
to appear on the labeling, namely, the common or usual names of the active
563420-60 3
ingredients contained therein, a statement of the quantity of contents and 
adequate directions for use, was not prominently placed on the vial label of 
the article with such conspicuousness (as compared with other words, state- 
ments, designs and devices, in the labeling), as to render such information 
likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary 
conditions of purchase and use; and 502(e) (2)-the label of the article failed 
to bear the common or usual name of each active ingredient contained therein, 
since myrrh and benzoin were not declared by their common or usual names, 
and the proportion of alcohol contained in the article was not declared.

relabeled.
