He added to the essay and it was published as a Handbook of the Surgery of the Kidneys in 1911. "He was an expert boxer, whence he derived his name of 'The Bruiser' by which he was generally known to the students, and it is reported of him that after breaking the jaw of a rough who would have molested him, he admitted him into one of his own beds and cured him." - RCS.
