{{anchor:s2}}VOLUME ONE.—In closing our first volume we can not forbear making a few rambling comments, as to the past and the future. {{anchor:s3}}Our object, in the past, has been to teach, as best we could, //pure// homoeopathy, to illustrate it practically, to bring out the characteristics of old remedies, to introduce new—in short to do such work as would make us all more efficient in healing the sick. {{anchor:s4}}Thanks to the gentlemen who have contributed to our pages, we have been enabled to make a good start in this work. {{anchor:s5}}Thanks to our large (and steadily increasing) circulation, we have been able to publish over //two hundred// pages more than we promised in our prospectus. {{anchor:s6}}If we have done well in the past, we shall strive to do even better in the future.

//{{anchor:s7}}In the past,// we have endeavored to point out some of the pernicious innovations that are being introduced into homoeopathic practice; to condemn such errors as the use of unproved remedies, the alternation or combination of remedies, the use of palliatives and tonics, etc.

//{{anchor:s8}}In the future,// we shall continue to teach the Homoeopathy of Hahnemann ; shall try to enrich our materia medica and hope to give practical articles on the treatment of various diseases.

{{anchor:s9}}The periscope will contain, in a condensed and available form, all that is practically useful in current homoeopathic literature. {{anchor:s10}}In our book notices, reviews, etc., we will keep our readers informed as to all the best and newest works on medicine.
