This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Jacob da Silva Solis-Cohen was an American physician and physicist. During the Civil War he served as Assistant Surgeon in the Union Army.
Background
Jacob da Silva Solis-Cohen was born on February 28, 1838 in New York City, New York, United States. He was the eldest son of Myer David Cohen and his wife Judith Simiah da Silva Solis. His maternal grandmother was Charity Hayes, daughter of David Hayes, Jr. , of Mount Pleasant, New York, and of his wife Esther Etting, of Baltimore, so that Cohen was descended from an old Jewish family and from an old colonial family.
Education
In 1840 his parents moved to Philadelphia, where Cohen received his early education, graduating from the Philadelphia Central High School. During the session of 1857-1858 he attended the Jefferson Medical College. In 1858-1859 he spent a year in Memphis, Tennessee, returning to Philadelphia in 1859 and resuming his medical studies at the University of Pennsylvania, from which institution he graduated in 1860.
Career
Cohen was appointed one of the resident physicians of the Philadelphia Hospital, but resigned on the outbreak of the Civil War to enlist in the United States army as a private, soon being commissioned assistant surgeon in the 26th Pennsylvania Regiment. He served with this regiment in Hooker’s brigade, but resigned in September 1861 to accept an appointment as acting assistant surgeon in the United States navy. He accompanied Du Pont’s expedition to Port Royal and served in the South Atlantic Blockade Squadron, for a time as acting fleet surgeon. He resigned from the navy in January 1864 and was requested by the surgeon general of the United States to act as visiting surgeon to the two military hospitals in Philadelphia. The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion, part III, vol. II (1882), indicates that he successfully carried out this work. He resigned in 1865, and, after a brief residence in New York, returned to Philadelphia in 1866 and entered private practise.
Among his first patients was a young girl with an obscure disease of the throat, and this led him to make a study of the use of the laryngoscope, then just becoming known to the medical profession. He soon gained recognition as an expert in this work. In 1867 Cohen was appointed by the American Medical Association chairman of a committee to investigate the value of treatment by inhalation. He accumulated so much material on the subject that he decided to publish it in book form, which he did, as Inhalation; Its Therapeutics and Practice (1867).
In 1872 he published his well-known work Diseases of the Throat, which he revised in 1879, under the title, Diseases of the Throat and Nasal Passages. Subsequent to this he published a small monograph on croup. During the remainder of his life he contributed a number of articles to medical literature, the best known being his articles on the operative treatment of cancer of the larynx. He also contributed chapters to various medical encyclopedias and systems. During this period he taught in the Jefferson Medical College and in the Philadelphia Polyclinic, of which he was one of the founders.

Membership
Cohen was a member of the American Laryngological Association.
Interests
Cohen had two interests outside of his professional work, the scientific aspect of acoustics and the religious life of his sect. He gave many popular lectures on acoustics and taught that subject for many years at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. He was greatly interested in the traditional melodies of the Sephardic and Minhag, and for many years took part in the services of the Philadelphia synagogue which he attended.
Connections
On February 10, 1875, Cohen was married to Miriam Binswanger, by whom he had nine children.
