The article describes the life and professional activity of zemstvo doctor, a descendant of the Zaporozhian Cossacks Vasyl Fedorovych Leontovych (1842–1888). The young man was a graduate of the Yekaterynoslav Classical Gymnasium in 1862. The doctor managed to start a dynasty of outstanding domestic scientists. His son Oleksandr became a physiologist, academician. His grandson Mykhailo is a physicist and academician; granddaughter Tatiana and great-granddaughter Natalia are doctors of medical sciences. The Leontovych family is an example of the medical dynasty of Cossacks.
