Details:
Educated at the University, Dunedin (NZ), where his student career was exceptionally brilliant. In 1898, the year of his graduation, he held a house appointment in the Dunedin Hospital, and then came to England, where he qualified. Returning to New Zealand after obtaining the Fellowship, he was for a time Surgeon to the Timaru Hospital. He then settled in practice at Linakori Road, Wellington, and showed such surgical ability that he soon gained a reputation and a large practice. Failing health compelled him to come to London early in 1907, where he underwent a successful operation for gastric ulcer. He renewed his acquaintance with the London hospitals, had suppuration of the middle ear, and, despite prompt surgical treatment, died in London on December 21st, 1907, which cut short a career of much promise and of some achievement. "New Zealand", says his *Lancet* biographer, "has lost a typical example of the class of man of which any country might be proud."
