One year later he was made director of the laboratories of histology, pathology and bacteriology. He was also pathologist to the New York Post-Graduate Hospital and the New York Infant Asylum. In addition, he did the pathological work of St. Luke's and the Presbyterian hospitals, during a part of the summer of 1889. In 1890 Dr. Linsley spent the summer in Berlin and took a course in bacteriology under Koch. He was also English secretary of the Section for Hygiene of the Tenth International Medical Congress Leid in Berlin in August, 1890. in the fall of the same year he again went to Germany ae representative of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and obtained some of Koch's lymph.

Returning to New York City, he gave the first address on the lymph treatment for tuberculosis in New York in the Academy of Medicine before the Medical Society of the County of New York. Later Dr. Linsley translated " Fraenkel's Grundries der Bakterienkunde." Later he was made professor of pathology and bacteriology at the University of Vermont, and in some capacity he was connected with the Medical Department of the university for many years.
