The old sanitary organization with a sharply bourgeois bias of an official-sanitary doctor, who freely put up with the life of a worker in a basement, with smallpox in a university town, with prostitution on the street, with rotten meat and fish "cheaper" sold to the poor, with unsanitary conditions in cities surrounded by a ring of dumps, quietly and peacefully died. After her and for the edification of posterity, a trace remained in the form of printed works, from which one can glean how many basements there were, how many cases of smallpox and other statistical data were observed that were completely devoid of practical significance, divorced from life and causing a bitter smile from a modern doctor-prophylaxis. I repeat, such an organization died quietly and peacefully and it would seem that there is no need to cry about it, especially since life has put forward a new worker - a home care doctor, a district sanitary doctor, a dispensary doctor, who have gone into practical work in order to improve the health of the population, who have forgotten to time about scientific works, about the glory of a scientific specialist.
