Historia
The author was a surgeon in the Indian Medical Service. He was promoted to Assistant Surgeon in 1849, and Surgeon in 1864. After serving in Jamaica as a surgeon he joined the Indian Medical Service and was stationed in the State of Travancore. Returning to England he took his FRCS in 1864 and obtained his MD at Aberdeen the next year. He was an early advocate of 'Cottage hospitals' and in later life devoted himself to medical philanthropic work (cf. BMJ 1891, i pp. 264, 265).
