to  extend  the  jurisdiction  of  the  present  committee  or  to  appoint  a 
new  committee  to  consider  the  whole  subject  of  legislation,  both 
state  and  national,  not  only  for  the  purpose  of  securing  uniform 
laws  regulating  such  practices  as  the  indiscriminate  sale  of  narcot- 
ics, which  was  declared  to  be  very  important,  but  also  for  the  pur- 
pose of  securing  jurisdiction  in  matters  of  legislation  of  special  inter- 
est to  pharmacists.  A  motion  by  C.  A.  Mayo  to  amend  the  by-laws
