His political knowledge gave him great influence on the Parliamentary Bills Committee of the British Medical Association, at the branch meetings of which he was a constant attendant. He was for thirty years surgeon to the City of London School. He died of influenza on March 26th, 1898, and was buried in Norwood Cemetery.
