Among and typical of the false, deceptive and misleading statements and representations contained in the false advertisements disseminated and caused to be disseminated, as hereinabove set forth, in catalogs distributed throughout the United States by United States mails, and by other means in commerce, are the following:
Representations with respect to B. Paul's Compound: Made of pulverized roots and other harmless ingredients. Representations with respect to Herolin Skin Cream: If your surface skin is too dark due to exposure to sun and wind, and is blemished by superficial pimples and marks of external origin, try Herolin Skin Cream.

Representations with respect to Rumania Dandruff Treatment: Dandruff, the greatest foe of beautiful hair and a healthy scalp is responsible for a large percent of all cases of baldness and falling hair. It is a serious affection and must be given persistent treatment. When the white flakes or scales that indicate this condition begin to disappear, do not stop-but continue the Rumania dandruff treatment regularly.
PAR. 4. Through the use of the foregoing statements and representations and others of the same import not specifically set out herein, respondent represents that the preparation, B.

PAR. 5. The aforesaid statements and representations are false, misleading and deceptive. In truth and in fact, the preparation B.

Herolin Skin Cream is not RUMANIA HAIR GOODS & SPECIALTY CO. 469 466 Complaint a competent and effective treatment for superficial pimples and will not remove many marks on the skin, although of external origin. While Henry's Super-Light Working Oil, Working Oil, and Henry's Sulphur Lanolin Treatment for the Hair and Scalp may, in most cases, temporarily relieve itching of the scalp caused by minor scalp disorders and may make loose dandruff scales less noticeable by matting them to the hair and scalp, none of these preparations is a competent, effective, or adequate treatment for many of the underlying conditions which cause itching scalp, .or for dandruff. Their use will not relieve itching in some scalp conditions.

The preparations Luxe Hair Coloring, Eau Sublime and Godefroy's Larieuse are para-phenylenediamine hair dyes and are potentially dangerous in that their use may cause skin irritations. Said preparations should not be used for dyeing the eyelashes or eyebrows; to do so may cause blindness. They should not be used in any event when there is any disease of or eruptions on the skin or the scalp, nor until after a proper patch test has demonstrated that the person is not sensitive to and can resist the effects of said preparation without harmful effects. • The preparation B. Paul's Compot\nd contains pyrogallic acid, which is a caustic and may cause skin irritation. It should not be permitted to remain on the skin or scalp for prolonged periods of time, should never be used when the skin or scalp is broken or where an eruption is present, and should not be permitted to come into contact with the eyes. The preparation Apex Skin Bleach contains ammoniated mercury and is potentially dangerous as it may cause skin irritations. It should not be applied to an area of the skin larger than the face and neck at any one time. Too frequent applications and use over excessive periods of time should be avoided and adequate rest periods between series of treatments should be observed.
This preparation should not be used where the skin is cut or broken and in all cases a proper patch test should be made to determine whether the user is sensitive to the preparation. The preparation Magic Shaving Powder contains ingredients which have an irritating effect upon the skin and should not be used by those having tender skins. It should not be allowed to come into contact with the eyes; to do so would cause extreme irritation.
