No person shall compound or sell or offer for sale or cause to be compounded, sold or offered for sale any medicine, drug, poison, chemical or pharmaceutical preparation that is adulterated. Any one of the above-named substances shall be deemed to be adulterated if it is sold by a name recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary and it differs from the standard of strength, quality or purity as determined by the test laid down therein unless the label so clearly states, or if its strength, quality or purity shall fall below the professed standard of strength, quality or purity under which it is sold. The board shall examine into any claimed adulteration by using the services of an analyst or chemist of recognized approved standing. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
