A trained [[homeopath]], he began treating students under a [[banyan tree]] in the college campus. As his reputation grew, so did the number of patients. In order to accommodate them, he purchased land in Kankanady and started the Homoeopathic Poor Dispensary. He was recognized for his contribution to society by the [[British Raj]] with the [[Kaisar-i-Hind]] award. He started treating [[lepers]] in 1883, and founded the St. Joseph Leprosy Hospital at [[Kankanady]] in 1890.<ref>{{cite web|title=FMCI founder|url=http://www.fathermuller.com/page.asp?pagecategory=fmci_founder|accessdate=11 March 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306220401/http://www.fathermuller.com/page.asp?pagecategory=fmci_founder|archivedate=6 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=A museum in memory of Father Muller|url=http://www.hindu.com/2010/11/08/stories/2010110851220200.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101112024749/http://www.hindu.com/2010/11/08/stories/2010110851220200.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 November 2010|accessdate=12 March 2012|date=8 November 2010|author=Staff Correspondent|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|location=Mangalore}}</ref> He died on 1 November 1910 due to complications caused by asthma at the age of 69.
