Dr. Frank Sandland Hone (1871 – 9 May 1951) was a medical doctor in South Australia, a specialist in the treatment of cancers and a lecturer at the University of Adelaide.
He studied medicine at the University of Adelaide, and graduated MB and ChB in 1894, winning the Everard Scholarship.
[1] Dr. Hone had his first practice in Morphett Vale, where he was appointed medical officer to aborigines and the destitute poor,[2] and from 1903 in Semaphore,[3] then established a specialist clinic in Adelaide in 1919.
In 1924 there was only one pathology laboratory in the State, which meant long delays in the diagnosis of infectious diseases in country areas.
[6] He was interested in preventive medicine, and was involved in research into typhus disease, which was endemic among grain workers.
