Section 5. That for the purpose of this act an article shall be deemed 

 to be adulterated — 



In the case of Paris green: First. — If it does not contam at least 

 fifty per centum of arsenious oxide; second, if it contains arsenic in 

 water-soluble forms equivalent to more than three and one-half per 

 centum of arsenious oxide; third, if any substance has been mixed and 

 packed with it so as to reduce or lower or injuriously affect its quality 

 or strength. 



In the case of lead arsenate : First, if it contains more than fifty per 

 centum of water; second, if it contains total arsenic equivalent to less 

 than twelve per centum of arsenic oxide (As205) ; third, if it contains 

 arsenic in water-soluble forms equivalent to more than seventy-five one 

 hundredths per centum of arsenic oxide (As205) ; fourth, if any sub- 

 stances have been mixed and packed with it so as to reduce, lower, or 

 injuriously affect its quality or strength; provided, however, that extra 

 water may be added to lead arsenate (as described in this paragraph) if 

 the resulting mixture is labeled lead arsenate and water, the percentage

 elemental foi'm and the amount of arsenic in water-soluble forms
