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.Source
