Excerpt from The Eclectic Review, Vol. 6: A Monthly Journal Devoted to Eclectic Medicine and Surgery; January 15, 1903 We stand again on the threshold of the New Year, and as we look back over the past twelve months and view our trials and joys, our failures and successes we feel that we have taken some steps in the right direction, and that eclecticism is on a firmer, surer basis than it has ever been - that each year adds new dignity and new experiences, and that a healthy growth in all departments has been ours during the past year.
