The manufacturer of rubbing alcohol compounds may also add to the standard formula such other odorous constituents or medicaments as is desired, provided they are shown in the formula submitted for approval and th at the finished product contains 70 percent absolute alcohol by volume.
The supervisor will notify all permittees in his district manufacturing rubbing alcohol compounds to submit revised formulate and labels for their rubbing alcohol compounds to him on Form 1479-A, in quadruplicate, complying with the requirements set forth herein. The supervisor will examine the formulae and labels submitted by the permittee, and if they comply with the provisions of this Treasury Decision, he will note his approval on each copy of Form 1479-A.
After approval, one copy will be returned to the permittee, one copy furnished the chemist in charge, one copy retained in the supervisors office, and the remaining copy forwarded to the Commissioner. If the formulae or labels are dis approved, all copies of Form 1479-A will be returned to the permittee with a statement of the reason for the disapproval.
Effective July 1, 1935 the second paragraph of Article 146
of Regulations 3 is hereby amended to read as follows:
Any product manufactured with specially denatured alcohol Formula No. 23-G under permit issued pursuant to these regula tions and labeled and sold as a rubbing alcohol compound must be put up and sold by the manufacturer thereof in containers or packages in which it is to be delivered to the ultimate consumer.
Such containers or packages shall not exceed one pint in capacity, and must be labeled to show name and address of the manu facturer. Where rubbing alcohol compounds are manufactured and bottled under the name o f a dealer for resale to the legitimate trade, the manufacturer must place his name and address or his permit number on the labels of the containers in type of sufficient size to be clearly legible. No misleading statement will be per mitted on labels which would give the impression that the product is pure alcohol, and a product which is not marketed under a trade name must be labeled RUBBING ALCOHOL COMPOUND, in type of the same size and color. A caution notice must also be placed on each label to the effect that the preparation is for external use only and is medicated so that if taken internally serious gastric disturb ance will result. Labels or facsimiles thereof must be submitted for approval before use. The sales of this product must be confined to persons legitimately engaged in a bona fide drug trade, or to hospitals, sanitariums, turkish baths or other establishments or stores where such compounds have customarily been sold, or used for massage or other external purposes. Failure to comply with these requirements and to confine sales to such persons, or the making of sales to such persons in quantities in excess of their reasonable requirements will constitute bad faith on the part of the permittee and grounds for the revocation of his permit.
G u y T. H elvering, Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
