About the author
Born in Aberystwyth, Richard Llewellyn Jones Llewellyn was a Welsh doctor and medical writer who built his reputation through the study of rheumatism, gout, and related disorders. He earned his M.B. degree in 1895, and from 1900 to 1902 served as resident medical officer at the Bath Royal Mineral Water Hospital, a notable center for treating these conditions.
He wrote a number of medical works, including Fibrositis (gouty, infective, traumatic), Aspects of Rheumatism and Gout, and Gout, with a section on ocular disease in the gouty. Contemporary sources described him as an authority on rheumatism and allied diseases, reflecting the standing he had won in that specialty.
Records located during this search identify him as dying on April 19, 1934. I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages available, so none is included here.
