When from under the pen of one of the oldest and most experienced clinicians of our time, whose pupil and listener I also had the pleasure to be in 1897-98 at the Military Medical Academy, such book as Introduction to Clinic of Internal Diseases is published, it is natural that it is a holiday in the national literature. Here, it is necessary to think, the views and world outlook of the representative of Russian science and clinic are stated; moreover, as the preface says, the book is written for young doctors of our Union who, certainly, have a desire to learn both Russian and foreign science, new achievements, to find criticism of created views and doctrines. The Introduction promises to study the functional disorders, which the author quite correctly calls a key to understanding of the patient. It is a kind of Lesebuch for the beginner, where he will find an exposition and coverage of many pathological questions of the clinic.
