Thomas AddisonDied 29 Jun 1860 (born Apr 1793).English physician who was the first person to correctly connect the symptoms of what is now called Addison's disease to a functional deficiency of the adrenal glands (1855).

Distinguished for his zeal in the investigation of disease, Addison had a great reputation as a clinical teacher, and Guy's Hospital in London attained fame as a school of medicine during the time of his connection with it.
