About Archibald L. Hoyne
Dr. Archibald Hoyne was the initial user of meningococcic serum intravenously for the treatment of meningococcic meningitis – a daring procedure when the accepted route was intrathecal.  This pointed the way for the use of other drugs (antibiotic) intravenously, when they were developed.
