Career

Meldon became a Licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland in 1864.[1] He became a Licentiate of the King and Queen's College of Physicians in 1865. Meldon authored medical papers on cholera, diseases of the skin and gout.[1] He was a member of the British Medical Association and attended the annual meeting in Dublin in 1887.
