OYNE,
TEMPLE S., A. M., M. D., of Chicago, Ills., was born in that city,
on October 16th, 1841. He is the eldest son of the Hon. Thomas Hoyne,
LL. D., one of the eldest members of the Chicago bar. He is the grandson
of Dr. John S. Temple of St. Louis, Mo. He received his education in the
University of Chicago, where he graduated in 1862, receiving the three
degrees of B. S., M. S., and A. M. On his graduation, he attended two
courses of lectures in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York,
receiving the degree of M. D. in February, 1865, Previously to this, in
1862, he took a partial course in the Hahnemann Medical College of
Chicago. His father having expressed a wish that he should pursue the
practice of the law, he entered his office, but finding the study
exceedingly distasteful, he gave himself to the study of medicine as the
profession of his life. Dr. Hoyne’s father, impressed with the belief
that all boys should be taught a trade, encouraged his son to learn the
art of printing. In accordance with this wish, he worked in the printing
office of the Chicago
Democrat half
a day while attending school in his boyhood. He then procured a small
font of type, and, in 1858, printed a volume of one hundred pages -a
novel written by his mother- and bound by his uncle. The edition
numbered one hundred copies, and was printed on a common letter press.
The knowledge he thus acquired has always since been of great value to
him, besides the recreation it affords him after the arduous labors of
his profession. In 1864, during the war, he had charge of a hospital in
Fredericksburgh, Va., in company with Dr. F. H. Hamilton of New York.
The hospital contained three hundred men wounded in the Battle of the
Wilderness. Resuming his practice at the close of the war, he was
elected, in 1869, Professor of Materia Medica in the Hahnemann Medical
College of Chicago, and has delivered four courses of lectures before
that school. This position he still maintains, with credit to himself,
and with honor to the college. In addition to his other duties, he has
also the charge of the venereal patients in the Scammon Hospital. Dr.
Hoyne is also the business manager and registrar of the college. His
literary contributions to his profession are a treatise on the use of
Carbolic Acid ; “Hoyne’s Materia Medica Cards ;” and
a “Repertory to the New Remedies.” He has contributed to the Hahnemann
Monthly ;
the United
States Medical and Surgical Journal,
the Medical
Investigator,
and the American
Homœopathic Observer ;
and is at this time one of the editors of Raue’s
Annual Record.”He was married in 1866.
In all the departments he has filled, Dr. Hoyne has acquitted himself to
the general approval. In his present position as professor in the
college he is earning for himself an exalted reputation, while his
publications upon various subjects have added largely to his renown as a
physician thoroughly conversant with his subject. He is perfectly at
home in both the theory and practice of homœopathy, and enjoys largely
the confidence of his professional brethren.Source
