From the Obitury Notices of the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Vol. XVII (1867), 8°, LXVIII pp. Henry Bence Jones (1813-1873), "the most prominent nineteenth-century medical chemist in England, was an enthusiastic follower of Liebig. Physician at St. George's Hospital, Secretary of the Royal Institution, Council Member of the Royal College of Chemistry, and Vice Chairman of the Chemical Society, Bence Jones had a high profile in nineteenth-century London. At University College George Fownes (1815-1849), who had been a pupil of Liebig in 1839, introduced him to Liebig's theories and analytical methods. and after obtaining his License at the Royal College of Physicians in 1841, Bence Jones spent 6 months in Liebig's laboratory at Giessen. "My first conversation with professor Liebig on his new views on physiology" he said, "had filled me with admiration and appeared like a new light where all had been confusion and incomprehensible before". Indeed Bence Jones became so convinced by Liebig's theories that he determined to base his future work on them. He argued that in urinary diseases the oxidation of uric acid should be encouraged and the degradation of muscular tissues reduced. Too much nonnitrogenous food led to the conversion of uric acid to ammonium urate, fat, and choleic acid instead of urea, and this was thought by Liebig to be the fundamental cause of gout. Bence Jones suggested that by promoting the circulation while moderating the diet this could be corrected, and it would be easy to monitor the progress of the treatment by regularly analyzing the urine. In general, he said, "the quantity of uric acid thrown out of the body varies inversely with the quantity which undergoes change in the body". Using this principle, coupled with chemical analysis of the urine, he thought that the physician could gain a clearer picture of a patient's health." "He was also keenly interested in the advancement of science generally, and while secretary of the Royal Institution devoted himself to making the newest scientific discoveries known to the public. He was a friend and loyal admirer of Faraday, whose life he wrote." Doseph Frank Payne DNB, 1885-1900, 30 (1892), p.110.…
