     24.12 Linseed oil.  

    Subdivision 1.    Definitions.  Pure linseed oil shall 
 be defined as the oil obtained wholly from the seeds of the flax 
 plant and containing no added ingredient.  Boiled linseed oil 
 shall be defined as pure linseed oil with so-called dryers added 
 thereto, to an amount not exceeding three per cent of the total 
 product.  Pure linseed oil, as distinguished from boiled linseed 
 oil, shall be known as raw linseed oil.  Linseed replacement oil 
 shall be defined as oil complying with the specifications for 
 linseed replacement oil as provided by specifications of the 
 United States dated May 1, 1943, approved for use of all 
 departments and establishments of the federal government, and as 
 the same may be written from time to time hereafter.  If 
 designed or offered for sale or use as either pure linseed oil, 
 boiled linseed oil or linseed replacement oil, or as a 
 substitute for any of them, or in imitation or any of them, any 
 substance or preparation which is not included in the respective 
 definitions thereof shall be deemed adulterated, and the 
 manufacture thereof for sale within the state or the sale 
 thereof within the state is prohibited.  No person shall sell 
 pure linseed oil, boiled linseed oil or linseed replacement oil 
 unless each receptacle in which the same is kept for sale or 
 sold shall have distinctly, legibly and durably painted, 
 stamped, stenciled, or labeled thereon the true name of such 
 oil, setting forth, in bold-faced capital letters not smaller 
 than one inch in length, whether it be pure linseed oil, boiled 
 linseed oil, or linseed replacement oil; and there shall also 
 appear upon the receptacle the name and address of the 
 manufacturer of the oil.  

    Subd. 2.    Limitation on sale of replacement oil.  No 
 person shall sell in this state after October 1, 1947, linseed 
 replacement oil as defined in this section.
