Practical Medicine is a publishing house organized by Vasily Sergeyevich Ettinger. In the period from 1885 to 1928, the publishing house published a monthly magazine of the same name. Each issue was a separate medical monograph.

In addition, the publishing house "Practical Medicine" published the magazines "Russian Surgery" (1902-1916), "Therapy" (1904-1906), as well as individual medical publications: "Medical Calendar" (since 1891), medical atlases (since 1894), "Veterinary Calendar" (since 1907), etc. In 1891-1998, the "Real Encyclopedia of Medical Sciences" was published in 21 volumes.Before the revolution, the publishing house produced over 1,100 publications, mainly translated from German. After the revolution, the activity was revived in 1923. Translated works continued to be the main part of the products of "Practical Medicine" even after the revolution.
