Carpenter syndrome is named for him. He was a medical student in London at St. Thomas's Hospital, where he won prizes, and at Guy's Hospital. He was prosector to the Royal College of Surgeons, and in 1885 became M.R.C.S. and L.S.A. In 1886 he graduated M.B. and in 1890 M.D. at London, having become M.R.C.P., London, in 1889. Carpenter at first was a psychiatrist. After holding a residential appointment at The Coppice, Nottingham, a private asylum, he returned to London in 1885, and began to specialise in children's diseases. Having served as house surgeon, registrar and chloroformist, he was elected physician to the Evelina Hospital, Southwark. In 1896 he acted as English editor to Pediatrics, (the work offered here), but the English edition did not last. In 1904 he founded, and edited for the rest of his life, the British Journal of Children's Diseases. In 1900 Carpenter, with Arthur Ernest Sansom, Henry Ashby and others, founded the successful Society for the Study of Disease in Children, the first British society of its kind. He acted as one of its secretaries for three years, as editor of its Transactions for eight years, and compiled eight volumes of Reports. When the society was incorporated in the Royal Society of Medicine in 1908, and became the section for the study of disease in children, he was elected its president. At the time of his death, Carpenter was physician to the Queen's Hospital for Children, Hackney.
