In 1840 his family moved to Philadelphia. There he attended Jefferson Medical College and the University of Pennsylvania from which he received his medical degree in 1860. During the Civil War he served as assistant surgeon with the 26th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and served in Hooker's Brigade defending Washington D.C. He later transferred to the Navy serving under Admiral DuPont in the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron as Acting Assistant Surgeon in the Navy. After the war he became a pioneer in throat diseases and the founder of laryngology. Through his efforts Solis-Cohen professionalized a field earlier perceived as quackery and his education became a model for the training of head and neck surgeons. In 1866 he was the first in the United States to provide regular lectures on laryngology at the Philadelphia School of Anatomy. In 1875 he married Miriam Binswanger with whom he had eight daughters and three sons. He was a founder of the Philadelphia Polyclinic which would become the Graduate Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania and was its first professor of throat and chest diseases. Solis-Cohen also helped found the American Laryngologic Association and served as its president from 1880 to 1882. In 1892 he was the first surgeon in the United States to perform a complete laryngectomy successfully.</p><p><b>Henry M. Richards</b>1837-1873 was born in Mobile Alabama.
