Summary/Abstract: This article is making a summary of Valeriu Lucian Bologa’s work in the field of medical folklore, as a subfield of research set right at the foundation of the University in Cluj-Napoca in 1919 in the frame of the Faculty of Medicine, one of the first four faculties that were initially forming the Superior Dacia University. During the interwar years he brought his contribution to the field through numerous articles of popularization where his main idea was that of verifying through pharmaceutical means the empirical folk healing methods.
