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.

Judaica. Mormon. Hill Ira.
Antiquities of America Explained.
Hagers-Town Hagerstown: Printed by William D. Bell 1831. First edition. Fragile roan somewhat rubbed; some scattered foxing; a good sound copy. 12mo original tree roan professionally rebacked with brown Fabrikoid cloth new endpapers and the hinges reinforced with library cloth tape 131 1 pages. Hill relies on petroglyphs and other evidence to argue that the Native Americans are descended from the Jews. Hill here joins the queue of those who had made similar arguments; Rafinesque makes an explicit connection in the columns of his Atlantic Journal Autumn 1832 between Hill and his Antiquities Explained and the recently published Book of Mormon: "This opinion based upon some religious prejudices and slight acquaintance with philology and antiquities has been entertained by Penn Adair Boudinot and several other superficial writers among which Ira Hill author of a late work Antiquities of America Explained. Hagerstown Maryland 1831. It is to me astonishing how in this enlightened age any such unfounded belief can be sustained; if greater absurdities still did not prevail as yet among a few. Two recent instances of egregious folly based upon this singular tenet have induced me to republish my letter of 1829 which if read by those laboring under this delusion cannot fail to shake their belief. A new Religion or sect has been founded upon this belief! the Mormonites thus called after a new Alcoran or Book of Mormon which is not a Jewish name. Supposed to be written in gold letters more than 2000 years ago by Mormon leader of the American Jews. This Book which no one has seen nor read but the founder of the sect the probable writer thereof has been made the Bible of a new sect. I have tried in vain to procure a copy of the translation wherein I could certainly detect a crowd of absurdities and incongruities. Meantime a Sect of Fanatics has arisen therefrom and wandered from New York to Ohio and Missouri." Howes H-482; Sabin 31828. Somewhat clumsy later repair with a strip of paper to the blank verso across the tenth leaf of a five-inch tear with a little darkening to the text from the glue. Printed by William D. Bell, unknown
