SUMMARY
English-language exposition of Poehl's organotherapy doctrine, published in London by J. & A. Churchill in 1906. It carried the spermine theory and its associated organotherapeutic and urine-diagnostic ('urosemiology') framework to an English medical readership, extending the reach of the St. Petersburg products beyond the German- and Russian-language literature. Catalogue record: Wellcome Collection work d3hsmgxt; authority-controlled author name 'Poehl, Aleksandr Vasilʹevich, 1850-1908.' Title, place, publisher, and year copied from the Wellcome catalogue record (the record dates the work 1906-).
NOTES

The 1906 English organotherapy volume documents the international promotion of Poehl’s doctrine. Published by J. & A. Churchill in London, it placed the spermine theory and Poehl’s urine-diagnostic system in front of an English-language medical audience, the same channel by which English materia medica manuals of the period came to summarize “spermin” and its claimed catalytic and antitoxic action. The Wellcome Collection holds the work (d3hsmgxt).
