Extremely rare collection including 83 issues of 99 of this journal of the Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine. This is one of the seven important periodicals published starting in 1916 by the Istanbul Darülfünun which was the first Turkish academic institution in the modern sense. Due to World War 1 this journal was published at irregular intervals and after the Alphabet Reform 1928 it switched to the new script starting from the January-June 1929 issue. Therefore this collection consists entirely of early issues printed in Ottoman Turkish using the Arabic script. The journal published by the professors of the Faculty of Medicine included many prominent figures in its editorial board: Ziya Nuri Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Laryngeal and Otic Diseases Ismail Dervis General Secretary of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Obstetrics and Midwifery Tevfik Recep Professor of Histology and Embryology and Sevki Professor of Philosophy. In the same issue Sadettin Vedat Assistant Professor of Surgery is also recorded as the Secretary. Over time these names underwent some changes. For example in Year XV No. 1-2 1933 under the heading of Editorial Board Nasir Heyeti the names Akif Sakir Akil Muhtar Hamdi Suat Ihsan Hilmi Kenan Tevfik M. Hayrullah Necmettin Rifat Neset Ömer Server Kamil Süreyya Ali Tevfik Recep Ziya Nuri Fazil Serafettin and Tevfik Remzi appear. In this issue Behçet Sabit and Muzaffer Esat Bey are also listed under the title of Editors-in-Chief Tahrir Müdürleri. Again on the inner title page of this issue there is a list of the Editorial Board Tahrir Heyeti composed of 36 members. Some examples of articles in the collection that can be considered scientific contributions to the literature: The first article published in the first issue How Digitalis Takes Effect by Akil Muhtar 1877-1949 immediately draws attention. In this important study known as the "Usskof Experiment" and recorded in Turkish medical literature Akil Muhtar Özden proved for the first time in the world that digitalis when taken orally begins to take effect after one and a half hours and reaches its maximum effect after three and a half hours. A summary translation by Mustafa Hakki of Celal Muhtar Özden's 1865-1947 famous article titled On the Trichophytosis of the Hands and Soles Rahatü'l-yed ve ahmasü'l-kadem trikofisisi originally published in Annales de Dermatologie et de Syphiligraphie No. 8 August 1892 was printed in AH 1340 Issue 78. In this renowned article Celal Muhtar identified the Trichophyton fungus as the cause of a skin lesion observed on the hands and feet and presented the cases of trichophytosis he had followed.
