Abstract
PROF. B. I. SLOVZOV, professor of biochemistry in the University of Saratov, and later in the Medical School for Women, Petrograd, whose death is announced, was a pupil of A. Kossel and A. Danilevsky and is known mainly for his contributions to the study of tissue enzymes. Another Russian man of science who has died recently is Prof. N. P. Kravkov, professor of pharmacology in the Medical Academy, Petrograd. Prof. Kravkov was a pupil of Schmiedeberg, and his chief work was performed on isolated organs which he used mainly for investigating the action of drugs upon blood-vessels. His method of the isolated rabbit's ears for testing vasoconstrictor and vasodilator substances is known universally and used in every pharmacological laboratory. Lately he contributed interesting observations upon the coronaries of the human heart and the isolated human fingers. He had been interested in the past few years in the action of drugs in highly diluted solutions.
