From 1859 to 1875 he was Physician at the Royal Hospital for Diseases of the Chest. He later moved to Bournemouth, where he was consulting physician at the Mont Dore sanitorium for patients with chest diseases. He authored a number of medical works, including On Diet and Regimen in Sickness and Health: And on the Interdependence and Prevention of Diseases and the Diminution of Their Fatality (1870), On Coughs, Consumption, and Diet in Disease (1877) and The Medical Aspects of Bournemouth and Its Surroundings (1885).
