Excerpt from On the Treatment of Pulmonary Consumption: By Hygiene, Climate, and Medicine, in Its Connexion With Modern Doctrines The first edition of this essay was published in 1866, and was purely clinical. Although deeply interested in the discussion then going on respecting the intimate nature and origin of Tubercle and of Pulmonary Consumption, I thought it best to confine myself entirely to the clinical aspect of the disease. I merely described therefore the hygienic or sthenic treatment, which gives such infinitely more favourable results than those obtainable by the antiphlogistic treatment generally adopted in my younger days. Such reticence, however, is no longer desirable or possible. Two doctrines are in presence, both based on minute histological research, and both exercising all over the world, a profound influence on the treatment of Pulmonary Phthisis. The one - that of Virchow and his followers - all but denies the tubercular origin of chronic Pulmonary Consumption - of the disease clinically recognised as Pulmonary Phthisis; in their eyes it is either a new growth or a mere form of chronic pneumonia.

Innes-Ker was the only surviving child of the 5th Duke of Roxburghe and was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford.
Bennet has been described by the Menton Tourist Board as the "Inventor of the Menton resort". Bennet went to the small coastal village of Menton in the South of France, close to the Italian border in 1859, wanting to "...die in a quiet corner, like a wounded denizen of the forest". Bennet's health greatly improved, and visited Italy the next year, but found the "unhygienic state of the large towns of that classical land undid the good previously obtained".
He returned to Menton and started a medical practice, and completely healed, returned to England in the Summer to see his patients. His routine would be to spend Winter in Menton, and take a holiday in April and May, to study the Mediterranean climate and vegetation, traveling to Genoa, in Italy, before returning to England in the Summer. Menton was connected by rail to Paris in 1869, which greatly increased the Alpes-Maritimes popularity as a destination for visitors.
The construction of a rail link in 1861 between Nice and Ventimiglia, in Italy, meant that the coastal road could be avoided, which had previously been subjected to dangerous mudslides. Bennet still advised his patients to come to Menton by road to "enjoy the wonderful spectacle." At the foothills of the Alps, Menton was sheltered from the winds, cold and heavy rain that characterised the regions weather. Enjoying a winter in mild weather provided a psychological boost for Bennet's patients, he wrote that they were "so charmed by the sun, the spectacle of nature and vegetation, they almost forgot their troubles." Bennet described the attractions of Menton and the South of France to his patients, finding that invoking the "...beauties of nature, the magnificence of the sun ...the intoxication of the ever-changing sea, they were able to face the long and difficult journey to the south".
Bennet felt that the hot and dry climate of the French Riviera as well as a proper diet cured tuberculosis sufferers. With the publication of Bennet's books, Menton's popularity as a destination greatly increased. His books were translated into German, and published in the United States.
From "two or three hotels" in Menton in 1861, over 30 hotels had been built by 1875. Notable patients of Bennet's included Robert Louis Stevenson and Queen Victoria. Bennet bought a ruined tower with land on the hills above Menton, creating an eight-acre garden.
He would also travel to San Remo and Marseille to meet experts in horticulture. A street, Rue J.H. Bennet is named after Bennet in Menton, and a monument was erected to Bennett in Menton's Rue Partouneaux.
