The article was alleged to be adulterated in that the statement Derris borne on the barrels containing it represented that the said barrels contained derris; whereas they did not contain derris but another substance, cube root, had been substituted for derris. Adulteration was alleged for the further reason that the strength and purity of the article fell below the professed standard and quality under which it was sold, since it was represented to contain a minimum of 5 percent of rotenone; whereas it contained rotenone in a proportion much less than 5 percent. It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements Derris Min. Rotenone, borne on the barrels containing it, were false and misleading and by reason of the said statements the article was labeled and branded so asto deceive and mislead purchasers since the barrels did not contain derris but did contain another substance, namely, cube root; and the article did not contain 5 percent of rotenone but did contain much less than 5 percent of rotenone.
