At the time of his description nothing was known of the functions of the suprarenal glands although they had been described by Eustachius in 1563 and had been the subject of anatomic studies for three centuries. Addison's description not only established a new clinical entity but gave the first stimulus to modern physiologic studies on the function of these glands. An enormous volume of literature has grown up...Bibliography1 ADAMS EW: The results of organotherapy in Addison's disease. Practitioner, London, 1903, lxxi, 472-502.
