This practical manual by E.B. Blumenau served as an essential daily reference for physicians in the 1920s USSR. Published during the New Economic Policy (NEP) period, it reflects the state of pharmaceutical science and standard clinical practice shortly after the formation of the Soviet healthcare system. The book's importance lies in its utilitarian role: it directly guided doctors in the accurate formulation and dosing of medications, consolidating the most relevant drug knowledge of the era into a single, portable volume. Its structure—an alphabetical drug directory followed by a therapeutic index organized by disease—made it a highly functional tool. The relatively small print run and the heavy use such a reference would endure contribute to its status as a bibliographic rarity today, offering historians valuable insight into the material realities of interwar Soviet medicine.
