The present condition of medical science, and the va- 
rious efforts for its improvement by scientific men, are matters 
of deep interest to all. The Faculty of the Eclectic Medical 
Institute occupy a position in reference to this subject, which 
they wish clearly to define, and hold relations to the public and to 
the medical profession, which render it necessary that they 
should not be entirely silent, or acquiesce tacitly in any mis- 
representation of their position. 
W e hold that it is not only the right, but the duty of every 
citizen to investigate, and, if possible, to improve that depart- 
ment of knowledge which he attempts to reduce to practice 
by a regular course of instruction. We hold that he who 
attempts to impart instruction in any science or art, while he 
is conscious of its errors and imperfections, and yet makes no 
effort whatever to escape those errors, is to some extent 
chargeable with the evils which arise from this neglect. In 
this spirit we have looked on medical science, as a science very 
imperfect, yet in hopeful progress, and susceptible of being 
rendered accurate and satisfactory. In this light it has been 
regarded by the various eminent men who have contributed 
the materials of its present structure, and thus it must be 
regarded by all who are capable of advancing its usefulness 
and truth. But, unfortunately, there are many whose mental 
indolence and stubbornness of opinion, or pride of position, 
render them averse to any remarkable, sudden, or great ad- 
vancement. Every great discovery-every change in the 
philosophy or practice of the profession, no matter how rea- 
sonable or how much needed, generally meets for a few 4 
years the sturdy opposition of such minds. There are many 
who will not investigate-there are others who are interested 
against changes, and those who do receive any important im- 
provement at first, often find themselves marked out as sus- 
pected persons, and hindered in their professional success; 
or, if they are not very cautious, completely excommunicated 
from the circles of the more conservative portion, as if they 
had been guilty, not of free, candid investigation, but of some 
dishonorable crime. 
The writings and practice of a learned German Physician, 
Dr. Hahnemann, have been investigated by many of the medi- 
cal profession, including some of its distinguished Professors 
in Europe, and they have conscientiously recognized their 
truth. But all who have thus embraced the Homoeopathic 
practice, from a conviction of its superiority to the old sys- 
tem, have found themselves not only opposed, excommunica- 
ted and ridiculed, but even denounced as knavish impostors, 
notwithstanding their endeavors to submit the system to fair 
and public trial, and notwithstanding the undeniable skill, 
learning and high personal character of many of the follow- 
ers of Hahnemann, who were converts from the old system. 
We believe that this course of denunciation for difference of 
opinion, is wrong, if not criminal, and that they who endeavor' 
to prevent the investigation and public testing of any improve- 
ment in science, should be regarded as conspirators against 
the welfare of society. 
The Eclectic Medical Institute stands as the Collegiate rep- 
resentative of a numerous and increasing body of medical 
reformers in the United States, who have on innumerable oc- 
casions practically demonstrated the superiority of their system 
of medical practice. They claim to have effected a valuable 
scientific reform in medicine, and eagerly demand an opportu- 
nity of testing in some public institution, the value of their 
improvements in comparison with the old system of practice. 
A dispassionate investigation and a public trial are demanded 
as a right, upon the ground that the superiorit y of there formed 5 
system has been demonstrating before the people for thirty 
years, and is well known wherever its representatives are 
found. 
While laboring as we believe, and as a large number of the 
people are experimentally convinced, for the improvement of 
medicine, freely communicating our experience to others, we 
are met by the concerted opposition of various medical col- 
leges and leaders of the medical profession, endeavoring to 
establish a rigid discipline, which shall cut off all professional 
or personal intercourse between the numerous body of new 
school practitioners, and the more numerous body who have 
been educated in the old system of practice. The action of 
these gentlemen is based upon the assumption that the use of 
mercury, the lancet and various drastic medicines is so un- 
equivocally necessary, that no one can even recommend or 
countenance any material change from this unscientific 
method, without being guilty of that which ought to degrade 
him as a physician and as a man. 
Were we disposed to imitate their arrogance and folly, we 
might with far greater justice denounce their professional big- 
otry, and their stubborn adherence to a system of practice so 
clumsy and inefficient at the best, and often so terribly perni- 
cious. But believing the great body of the profession to be 
honest in their convictions and misled by the authority of their 
teachers we would rather deplore than denounce their infat- 
uation. As to the combinations of medical leaders against in- 
novation, we respond to their puerile and insolent regulations, 
prescribed to their followers by the simple suggestion, that we 
could never find it necessary to propose such regulations, 
unless we were endeavoring to force upon the public a sys- 
tem repugnant to reason and contradictory to experience. 
When the most learned of our class of physicians shall be com- 
pelled to admit like one of the most eminent old school physi- 
cians, that "m a large proportion of the cases treated" \>y physi- 
cians on our system "the disease is cured by nature and not by 
themf and that in "not a small proportion, the disease is cured 6 
by nature in spite of them" and that "in a considerable pro- 
portion of diseases it would fare as well or better with 
patients," " if all remedies at least all active remedies especi- 
ally drugs were abandoned,"-when we are placed in this 
humiliating position by the admissions of our friends, we too 
may find many arbitrary regulations necessary to uphold our 
system against the power of free investigation. 
The more liberal portion of the profession on the other 
hand, perceive that medical doctrines are changing annually 
and that while the profession generally are abandoning the 
excessive use of mercury and the lancet, it is folly to denounce 
those who have advanced farther in the same career of im- 
provement. To those who thus favor free investigation we 
tender the confident assurance that public opinion demands 
reform in medicine and that a liberal course alone can receive 
the public approbation. 
The course of Eclectic Medical Reformers has been sanc- 
tioned by the public opinion. Where our system of practice 
has been introduced, its superiority has been made manifest, 
and many of our measures have in various places been 
adopted by old school graduates who have witnessed their 
value. We can refer also to many who have deemed it their 
duty to abandon the old system on account of its many signal 
defects and adopt the principles of our school. The strong- 
est evidence of the value of our improvements lies in the fact 
that the public prefer practitioners of the new school when 
they have had an opportunity of comparing the old and new 
systems, and that the graduates of the Eclectic Medical Insti- 
tute are unable to supply the demand for practitioners. 
Those who are looking to the medical profession as their 
future pursuit, should recollect in determining their place of 
education, that if they submit their minds to the narrow and 
bigotted teaching of the opponents [to improvement, they im- 
bibe doctrines which are behind the spirit of the age, and 
while they fail to learn some of the most important and suc- 
cessful measures in the practice of medicine and surgery, as 7 
known among reformers, they become familiar only with art 
exclusive system, with which the people have become disatis- 
fled, and to escape from which they are ready to resort to 
any system of practice which can present evidence of rea- 
sonable success. The ranks of old school practitioners are 
crowded-the supply is increasing as rapidly as the demand 
is diminishing. In the new school, the demand for many 
years must greatly exceed the supply. We can point 
out now a great many attractive and profitable fields of pro- 
fessional enterprise to all who have obtained the requisite qual- 
ifications, in which the community would welcome a represen- 
tative of the new school. Several hundred medical gradu- 
ates are required to meet the present wants of the country, 
and long ere that demand can be supplied, it will have vastly 
increased. If the talented and independent young men of our 
country, who are looking to professional pursuits, embark with 
us in this noble enterprise of elevating and reforming medical 
science, a few years will witness an entire revolution in the 
medical profession of this country-a revolution not only in 
its modes of practice and its general success, but in its perva- 
ding spirit. Our watchword is progression, and however stri- 
king the superiority of the Eclectic system of practice over 
that of the old school, we urge those who adopt it not to be 
satisfied with its present stage, or to proscribe any change 
arising from experience, but to make additional observa- 
tions and investigate everything within their reach. The im- 
portant discoveries in physiology, materia medica, and the 
practice of medicine, which are imparted in this Institute, are 
calculated to inspire a feeling of interest and of confidence.- 
Its graduates are taught both by precept and example not 
to be contented with a tame routine of old notions, relying 
upon authority, but to seek, wherever practicable, for addi- 
tional light. 
The necessity of a reformed school of medicine is suffi- 
ciently obvious to all who have observed the present state of 
medical science. The great numbers who have lost confi- 8 
donee in their old profession, and either abandoned it in disgust, 
or turned aside to Homoeopathy, Hydropathy, or some other 
method of practice which they consider less empirical and 
dangerous, constitute sufficient evidence that a regeneration 
is needed. Indeed there are few candid physicians who will 
not readily admit the fact. The new school, therefore has the 
merit of attempting this reform in a decisive manner. The 
old school may be gradually reforming in the same direction, 
but with so little progress that it would probably require a 
century for them at their present rate of progression to attain 
the position which we have already attained. Our investiga- 
tions have given us We believe a better knowledge of the pro- 
perties and applications of the materia medica than is exhib- 
ited in'the practice of the old system. We believe that no 
one acquainted with 'the resources of medicine as taught in 
the Eclectic Medical Institute would ever find it necessary to 
sanction the prevalent method of using mercury and of deple- 
ting the blood vessels by the lancet, in cases which an ample 
experience in Europe and America has proved can be better 
treated without than with such measures. We believe there 
is not a more groundless and pernicious species of empiricism 
in existence than the universal prescription of mercury, the 
great panacea of those who neglect the best resources of the 
healing art. Nor is anything better demonstrated by experi- 
ence and by physiological chemistry than the fact that general 
bleeding is one of the least successful methods of treating in- 
flammation. 
The Eclectic Medical Institute represents the only scientific 
system of medical reform now before the world, which is not 
based upon theory and not marked by ultraism or exclusive- 
ness. It teaches a system of medical science, matured in this 
country by its faculty, based upon observation and experiment, 
and legitimately entitled to be called the American System. 
This American or Reformed System possesses four distin- 
guishing merits. 
1. It is practical-being founded upon experience and not 
upon pre-determined theories. 9 
2. It is eclectic and not exclusive. It comprehends all and 
rejects nothing of medical science excepting that which expe- 
rience has proved to be false or useless. 
3. It is safe and successful. It preserves the vital forces 
and aids nature instead of exhausting the vis medicatrix by the 
medical treatment. It substitutes an efficient treatment in the 
place of much that is empirical in the old system; and for 
these reasons it has received the public approbation and spread 
through the United States, notwithstanding a powerful and 
organized opposition. 
4. It is liberal and progressive, its cardinal principle being 
to seek medical improvement in every direction, and submit 
to no professional trammels. 
Without public assistance, and in the face of concerted 
opposition, we have given our professional labors and our pri- 
vate means for the establishment of an independent medical 
school, free from all bigotted influences, and consecrated to 
medical improvement, which we hope to render worthy of the 
cause, and beneficial to mankind. 
In this enterprise we ask the co-operation of all patriotic 
citizens and of all liberal minds in the medical profession. 
Especially do we ask those who have not yet decided upon 
their course in the medical profession, to weigh well the com- 
parative merits of the old superannuated system of practice 
and of the ever progressive American system-the system 
of Eclectic Reform for which the signs of the times indicate 
a certain triumph. 
By order of the Faculty, 
T. V. MORROW, Dean 10 
ANNUAL REPORT. 
In making a second annual announcement of the Eclectic Medical 
Institute, it is not deemed necessary by the Board of Trustees to refer 
again to the merits or abilities of the Faculty, which have been suf- 
ficiently illustrated in their success during the past sessions, and in the 
emphatic testimony as to the merits of the Institute and the talents of its 
Professors as medical teachers, which has been given by the intelligent 
young gentlemen who have attended their lectures. 
We would congratulate the friends of medical reform on the success 
of the Institute. The erection of a commanding and appropriate edifice 
in a few weeks time and immediate delivery of the most practically val- 
uable and original course of instruction which has been heard in any 
Medical College in the United States, have been accomplished under the 
most embarrassing circumstances by the Faculty, and constitute a suffi- 
cient evidence of an energy and ability which cannot fail of success. 
The pecuniary affairs of the Institute are in a safe and prosperous con- 
dition. The apparatus and material of instruction with which it has been 
already liberally supplied will be hereafter increased on the largest pos- 
sible scale by the private resources of the Faculty. 
A portion of the Library (the whole of which is expected before the 
next session) will soon be in possession of the Faculty, and every thing, 
which can be accomplished by their devoted zeal and energy, will be 
done, so as to render the Institute worthy in all respects of taking the 
highest rank among Medical Colleges.

Any student, by the payment of $100. on or before the lirst Monday 
in November next, will be entitled to the privilege of attending as many 
courses as are necessary for the completion of his studies, (graduation 
and matriculation fees not included,) $50 paid by the the 1st of October 
next, will secure the tickets for a single session. In either of the cases 
of payment of Fees in advance, the student will have the right to transfer 
his claim to another, should circumstances prevent his attendance. The 
commodious College Edifice of the Institute, at the corner of Court and 
Plum streets, is completed in all its parts, and is admirably adapted to 
the accommodation of a large class, which it is confidently anticipated 
will be in attendance at the ensuing session. 
This Institution has received a liberal charter from the Legislature of 
Ohio, and is under the control of an able and efficient Board of Trustees. 
It may be regarded as a continuation, on a larger scale, of the enter- 
prise commenced in the Reformed Medical College of Ohio at Worthing- 
ton. The course of instruction in each of the departments will be full 
and complete, embracing every thing of much value known and taught 
in the old Medical colleges, as well as in the Reformed and Botanical 
schools of Medicine. There will be six or seven lectures daily, with as 
many examinations; interesting cases of disease will frequently be ex- 
hibited to the class, and students will be exercised in clinical examina- 
tion and prescription. 
The theory and practice of Homceopathy and also of Hydropathy will 
be discussed by the Professors of the Theory and Practice and of the 
Institutes. 
Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must have attained 
the age of 21 years; and. in addition to the preliminary study, attended 
two courses of lectures on each of the departments of the science in this 
or some legally incorporated Medical School, the last of which shall be 
in this, and shall be competent to sustain a thorough examination before 
the Faculty. Four years' reputable practice and an attendance on one 
full course of this Institute, also entitles the student to become a candidate 
for graduation. 
One student from each judicial district in the State of Ohio, will be
