Dr. Solis-Cohen, Poet,
Physician and Scholar,
Dies in Philadelphia
Ky th« Auo<iated Pr»t»
PHILADELPHIA, July 13. — Dr.
Solomon Solis-Cohen. 90, a prom
: inent physician, poet and scholar,
1 died last night in Jewish Hospital.
, Dr. Solis-Cohen, who had been ill
i for some time, was a native of Phil
adelphia and the oldest living mem
ber of a family prominent here since
before the Revolution.
After his graduation from high
1 school at the age of 15. he worked
: as a bookkeeper for eight years
before beginning his medical studies
at Jefferson Medical College. He
was graduated in 1883.
In later years he became a leading
authority on drugs and was credited
with being the discoverer of the
physical basis of allergies.
Despite his large practice, which
included such prominent patients as
former Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald of Great Britain, Dr. Solis
Cohen found time to teach at Jef
ferson Medical College, of which he
' was a faculty member for 43 years.
He also was a profound scholar
.of Hebrew, history and the classics.
While poetry was his hobby, his
works ,were widely published. His
mast famous poem, ‘‘When Love
: Passed By.” first appeared in Scrib
ner’s magazine, but later was re
printed in hundreds of other publi
cations through the years. It sub
sequently became the title of a col
lection of his poems published in
1929.
Another of his verses appeared in
an anthology edited by the poet,
John Greenleaf Whittier.
Dr. Solis-Cohen is survived by
three sons, D. Hays Solis-Cohen,
Dr. Leon Solis-Cohen and Francis
N. Solis-Cohen, and a daughter,
Emily Solis-Cohen, all of Philadel
phia.

Miss Perkins Urges
Clean Campaign
By th# Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, July 13—Miss
Frances Perkins called on the Dem
ocratic Party last night to “take
the lead in inaugurating a vigorous
campaign without mudslinging.”
Just as men could not live to
gether without mutual respect, she
told the convention, so also each
political party “must regard the
members of the other parties as also
manifesting truth and a desire for
service.”
The Civil Service Commissioner
and former Secretary of Labor con
tinued :
"Whispering campaigns, cynicism
about public activities, about politi
cal action, abuse and false accusa
tion have no place in a true politi
cal campaign and particularly at
this time when poltical affairs have
assumed a world importance never
before known in American life.”
She said the Democrats should
give the Republicans credit where
credit is due, and recognize also
that the Democrats have made mis
takes along with their achieve
ments.
“It fthe Democratic Party) has
had its full complement of error
and confusion,” she said, “but many
objectives have been achieved. Some
objectives have been only partly at
tained.’’
Miss Perkins said many Ameri
cans would like another Franklin
D. Roosevelt for President.
"But we have to face life as it is,”
she said. “There is no duplicate in
this or any other party.”
