Jones, John
, an old medical writer, was either born
in Wales, or was of Welsh extraction; studied at both
our universities, took a medical degree at Cambridge, and
practised with great reputation at Bath, in Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire. He mentions curing a person at
Louth in 1562, and the date of his last publication is
1759.
His principal pieces are, “The Dial of Agues,” 1556
“The Benefit of the antient Bathes of Buckstone,” 1572;
“The Bathes of Bath’s ayde,” 1572 “A brief, excellent,
and profitable Discourse of the natural beginning of all
growing and living things, &c.” 1574 perhaps this is
taken from “Galen’s Four Books of Elements,” which he
translated and printed the same year, or is the same book
with another title; “The Art and Science of preserving
the Body and Soul in Health,” &c. 1579, 4to. 2
