Details:
Was apparently trained for the profession at the Westminster Hospital School of Medicine, where he was at one period Lecturer on Anatomy. Later he practised as a physician at 34 Dorset Place, Dorset Square. He was next appointed Physician to the Samaritan Free Hospital for Women and Children, of which he was one of the founders. He was well known as a gynecologist, and practised at this period at 7 (and then 3) Gloucester Place, Portman Square. He advocated the use of the curette long before its advantages as a therapeutic appliance were understood by the profession in general. About the year 1870 he was appointed Consulting Physician of the Samaritan Free Hospital. His address now was 45 Baker Street, W, and Ridgmount, Laurie Park, South Norwood, SE. From this time onwards he was a very active member, and for the greater part of thirty years Chairman, of the Committee of Management of the Samaritan Hospital. He became an Examiner at the Society of Apothecaries, and moved to 14 Bentinck Street, Manchester Square, W. After his retirement he resided at 38 Loudon Road, St John's Wood, NW, and died there on Wednesday morning, October 3rd, 1900. His photograph is in the Fellows' Album.
