In 1816 he took his M.D. degree, and began to practice at Yeovil, Somerset, also becoming minister at a chapel in that town, but removed in 182o to London, devoting himself principally to medicine . In 1824 he was appointed physician to the London Fever Hospital, and in .183o published A Treatise on Fever, which was at once accepted as a standard authority on the subject .
