TYLES,
MYRON F., M. D., of Putnam, Conn., was born at Morristown, Vt.,
September 22nd, 1839 ; his parents, Nathaniel and Abigail Styles,
being both American.He was educated at the
University of Vermont. At the commencement of the war, in 1861, he
enlisted in the Army, serving through the whole of that protracted
conflict, being detailed for a part of the time on hospital duty.At the termination of
the struggle, he entered the office of Charles B. Packhurst, M. D., of
Strasburgh, Vt., where his opportunities of studying medicine were
favorable. He attended his first course of lectures at the Medical
College at Burlington, Vt., and completed his studies by following a
second course at the New York Homœopathic College, where he graduated,
in 1869.He first began practice
as a homœopathic physician at Northfield, Vt., where he remained four
years, obtaining the most satisfactory results. Leaving Northfield, he
removed to Putnam, Conn., where, at that time, homœopathy was very
imperfectly understood, although it is now regarded as a boon, and
gladly received by the people in place of the effete system of the
constant and systematic administration of drugs.Such radical changes of
opinion can only be wrought by men devoted to the cause of homœopathy,
and Dr. Styles is fully entitled to his share of our praise and
admiration.Source
