After a brief time in general practice,

Westminster Hospital Medical School he lectured on the principles and practice of medicine.

Although a specialist in throat diseases — his best known work was Diseases of the Nose and Throat (1894) — he displayed his all-round knowledge as an authority on
life assurance , being elected president of the Assurance Medical Officers’ Association.
