This condition of affairs carries with it the inference that none of the various preparations suggested has been quite satisfactory.Our communication deals with three substances: atropin and calcium chloride used in combination, and parathyroid preparations. Before proceeding further, it will not be out of place to state why our selection fell upon these...References(1) KYLIN E:Treatment of Essential Hypertension. Klin.
