STONE, HENRY E. – Biographies – History of Homeopathy

TONE, HENRY E., M. D., at Fairhaven, Conn., was born in Danbury, Conn., on July 10th ; 1820.

     He is of American parentage. His early education was obtained in the public schools, and the academy of
his native village.

     Completing his literary studies, he commenced that of medicine in May, 1844, entering the office of
Solomon Green, M. D., of Otego, Otsego county, N. Y. During three years under the able and valuable instruction of his preceptor he gained a thorough
knowledge of the theory of the allopathic practice, and of general medical literature. During this time he attended the Castleton Medical College,
taking in this institution three full courses of lectures, and receiving from it his degree of Doctor of Medicine, in the fall session of 1847. After
his graduation he commenced the practice of his profession at Otego, in company with his preceptor, Dr. Green, remaining with him in this relation until
the spring of 1850, when he purchased his interest. Being a progressive and liberal student, his attention was directed to the system of homœopathy,
then rapidly rising in popular regard.

     Putting himself under the instruction of Dr. I. S. Huett, of Milwaukee, who had brought the system to
his notice specially, for two or three years he made patient and complete observation of its practical benefits, and finally fully embraced its
teachings. Remaining in Otego until the spring of 1856, he sold his practice to Dr. S. C. Warren, and located at Fairhaven, Conn., where he continues to
reside, and where he ably expounds the law of Hahnemann, and practically illustrates it.

     He was married on September 3d, 1851, to Amanda, only daughter of Salmon Cunningham, of Otego, N. Y.
