According to his advertisements in the Melbourne Morning Herald 1854 he had great experience in diseases of women and children, midwifery, rheumatic, chest and stomach diseases
In practice in Lonsdale Street for 20 years (ADB)
It is unclear whether the many letters in the Argus in the 1860s signed 'Medicus' were by him or only those about alcoholism (see ADB) |
