Alfred Baring GARROD

1819–1907

Sir Alfred Baring Garrod of London was an eminent physician. Most of his professional life was devoted to the study of gout. His first book in 1859 established his interest in the field, but his views were established in the more readable third edition of 1876. Gout was known to the ancients and to physicians in all subsequent centuries.

Garrod reviews the history of the great writings

quite comprehensibly in the first chapter of this

book. It was with the publications of this classic

volume that the modern concept of gout began. It

was Sir Alfred’s son, Sir Archibald Edward

Garrod (1857–1936), who later started modern

rheumatology theories with his division of the

arthritic syndrome into rheumatoid arthritis and

osteoarthritis.
