ADDISON'S DISEASE 311 



large doses of bismuth, as well as dietetic measures, have been advised. 

 Cardiac stimulants, such as camphor, ether, or digitalis, have been recom- 

 mended for the cardiac weakness, especially in the later stages of the 

 disease. Some observers have advised the administration of iron, arsenic 

 and strychnin to combat the debility. A remission of the symptoms has 

 been observed by some writers following the use of arsenic. For the coma 

 which precedes the exiius lethalis in a large proportion of the cases, all 

 remedial measures attempted have proven futile.
