A drug shall be deemed misbranded in the following cases:

(1) If it is an imitation of or offered for sale under the name of another article;

(2) If the contents of the package as originally put up shall have been removed, in whole or in part, and other contents shall have been placed in such package, or if the package fails to bear a statement of the net contents on the label of the quantity or proportion of any alcohol or any narcotic or habit-forming drug, together with a statement that such drug is narcotic or habit-forming, as the case may be; or

(3) If its package or label shall bear or contain any statement, design, or device regarding the curative or therapeutic effect of such article or of any of the ingredients or substances contained therein which is false or fraudulent.
