His chirurgical works were chiefly on the Venereal Disease; besides which, he presented the public with "De Morbis Cutaneis, or ancient Physicians' Legacy." He also sent to the Royal Society "The Cases of Insects voided by the Urinary Passage;" and some other papers. Turner was not regularly educated as a Physician, but as a Surgeon; for he is mentioned as a Licentiate of the College of Physicians, London, in 1726, and was then styled Mr. Daniel Turner.
