He opened a free clinic in a small Elm Street building funded personally and partnered with his son Dr E Herbert Adams. The clinic served Toronto schoolchildren, revealing high rates of tooth decay and absence due to dental pain. Despite taxes blocking a charitable grant, the clinic operated for 29 years before closing in 1899 amid tax disputes.
