In 1904 he began his work at the National Hospital, Queens Square where he remained for all his life and was on of a brilliant group of neurologists on the staff. He published heavily. Hepatoventricular degeneration was only an early contribution. He wrote on the old motor system and new, on disorders of mobility and motor tone, on the epilepsies, on aphasia, Aphasia, tics, pathologic laughing and crying.
