About the author

Born in Calcutta on October 10, 1862, and educated in Aberdeen, he went on to become a respected British physician specializing in dermatology. His professional life was closely tied to Charing Cross Hospital, where he served as consultant physician, and he also became a fellow of major medical colleges.

During the First World War, he served as a colonel in the Army Medical Services in France. His wartime and medical work brought national recognition, and he was knighted by King George V in 1918.

He died in London on October 18, 1922. Although not a literary figure in the usual sense, his published medical writing and public career made his name well known in British medicine of his time.
