They were of opinion that lectures in pharmaceutical chemistry should be arranged for in connection with the New Zealand University, and that there should be uniform legislation in all the colonies to regulate pharmaceutical affairs and the sale, and custody of poisons ; that the sale of poisons by other than registered chemists, if allowed, should be as restricted a 3 possible consistent with public convenience ; and that the laws regulating the sale of poisons should apply to patent and proprietory medicines containing poisons.
