He was born in 1871 at Padiham, Lancashire, and was educated at the Burnley Grammar School and the University of Manchester, where he had a distinguished career as a student in science and in medicine. After graduating, he acted as housesurgeon in the Manchester Royal Infirmary and in the London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest. In 1895 he was appointed to the Indian Medical Service and for the next five years was on military duty, including service in the North West Frontier Expedition of 1897. During the following years he was on plague duty and held various appointments as civil surgeon in the Punjab until in 1906 he became professor of biology in Government College, Lahore, of which he was appointed principal in 1912.
