T. INGLES JANES,
M. D., whose office is at No.
643 McAllister street, San Francisco,
has been a resident of California since 1887, and engaged in the practice of
medicine since 1888. He was born in
Lambton, Canada, in 1864, and his early education was received in the public
schools of that city, and in the collegiate institutes of Strathroy
and Sarnia, graduating at the former after a two
years’ course and receiving a teachers’ life certificate. He then entered the college at Sarnia, where, after one year’s study, he grad-uated into the Toronto Medical College, where he
matriculated in 1884. Deciding to study
the homeopathic practice of medicine, Dr. Janes
entered the Cleveland (Ohio) Hospital College, where he attended two and a half
courses, being with his preceptor all this time. Coming to California early in 1887, he
entered the Hahnemann Hospital College of San
Francisco, where he graduated in 1888, receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine. The Doctor entered immediately into private
practice, which he has since continued at his present location. Soon after his graduation he was appointed to
a clinic in the Hahnemann Hospital, which position he
now holds. Early in 1889 he was
appointed to the Chair of Hygiene and Sanitary Science, which professorship he
still holds. He is a member of the
California State Homeopathic Medical Society.
Dr. Janes is of
English and Scotch descent, his father having been a native of England and his
mother of Scotland. They came to Canada
about fifty-five years ago, where the father engaged in farming for many
years. One of Dr. Janes’
brothers, Dr. S. W. Janes, is a practicing physician
in Detroit, Michigan, and his other brothers are engaged in mercantile and
farming operations in Canada. The father
died when Dr. Janes was but seven years of age, and
both he and his brother, who is now practicing medicine in Michigan, are
decidedly self-made men, both having earned by teaching and other occupations
the money necessary to carry themselves through college and into active
professional life.
