The appearance of this brochure is quite timely. In the preface, K. V. Volkov emphasizes the authors' desire to find out the role of internal secretion in the general system of interrelations, interactions with other systems and organs of the human body, and they emphasize the fundamental recognition of the primacy of the social moment in understanding the pathogenesis of all human diseases. K. V. Volkov hopes that the authors will take further steps towards the practical application of this imperative principle' in the study of specific topics of their future works. The brochure has another great advantage: strict scientific objectivity and cultural criticism of other people's views. Apparently, the authors are inspired by a sincere desire to find out the truth, and not to show that only they are right, and everyone else does not understand anything. Then, however, they also switch to the feuilleton language: "if these glands were decomposed in pairs on a pathologic-anatomical plate", "shoots at the hormone"-such "jokes" could be avoided in a scientific work, especially since they concern precisely those objections of the authors in which they are weakest.
