N. S. Pravdin. An Experimental Introduction to the Study of Pharmacology. Published by I Moscow State University. Moscow, 1926. Price 2 rubles. 131 pp.

The appearance in print of Dr. Pravdin's book is undoubtedly of interest already because we have extremely limited literature in this area. The author correctly points out the incompleteness of his work, as he has not touched upon all the provisions that could be, and even should be, carried out in practical classes with students, but in vain says in the preface that this book is not a manual for practical classes. First of all, it is admitted by GUS as such; on the other hand, the background to each work, illuminating its content, a detailed description of the equipment and making experiments, as well as conclusions and generalizations allow to recommend it as a manual for students at those universities, which conduct the program adopted by the author.
