It cannot be applied externally to human or animal tissue without serious injurious results. It cannot be taken internally without inducing blindness and general physical decay ultimately resulting in death,” and without having stamped, stenciled, or printed upon such label the name and address of the seller, the degree of proof, and the formula number thereof.
