tests laid down in the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formu-
lary official at the time of investigation: provided, that no drug defined
in the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary, except
preparations of opium shall be deemed to be adulterated under this

stated upon the bottle, box, or other container thereof, although the
standard may differ from that determined by the test laid down in the
United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary, and any prepa-
ration of opium except laudanum, shall not be deemed to be adulterated,

purity, as determined by the tests laid down in the United States
Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary in any particular, save as to the
amount and strength of alcohol contained in its menstruum, and said
amount and strength of alcohol contained in its menstruum is plainly
stated upon the bottle, box, or other container thereof.

pensed as such, or to require medicines dispensed on the prescriptions
of lawfully authorized practitioners of medicine, dentistry, or veterinary
medicine to be labeled, except as directed by such practiticner.
