This 1948 monograph by the eminent pediatrician and Academician Yulia Fominichna Dombrovskaya is a foundational work in Soviet nutritional science, published during the critical post-war years of medical reconstruction. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of vitamin metabolism in the developing child, including the arrangement of clinical observations and biochemical data regarding the prevention and treatment of avitaminosis and rickets. Dombrovskaya explores the complex interplay between specific vitamins and the child's immune response, offering rigorous guidelines for dietary supplementation in various clinical settings.  As a vital primary source, this volume documents the transition of Soviet pediatrics toward a more proactive, preventative model of healthcare following the nutritional hardships of World War II. Published directly by the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, the book reflects the high academic standards and the state's prioritization of maternal and child health during the late Stalinist period. This softcover edition is a significant bibliographical rarity for historians of medicine, pediatric specialists, and collectors of mid-century Soviet academic literature.
