FINDING MABEL: Mabel Palmer, First Lady of Chiropractic. Finding Mabel explores the life of the very public, yet private, First Lady of Chiropractic, Mabel Heath Palmer.

SHALL THE PSC SURVIVE? is a republishing of very rare and intimate writings of Chiropractic’s developer B.J. Palmer. Written at a time of great turmoil in Palmer’s life, Palmer solemnly contemplated closing the Palmer School of Chiropractic. Palmer wrote that if the next semester did not see an enrollment of three hundred students his school would not break even in finances and could not continue. The Fountainhead of Chiropractic sited various controversial actions that he had taken and defended for the principles of Chiropractic: The introduction of Spinographs, the introduction of the Neurocalometer and the NCM leasing program, the trip Round the World and the plan to purchase the world’s largest organ. B.J. reviews these points of antagonism to reveal the bigger idea behind his actions. This booklet was a desperate attempt to mend misunderstandings and win back support to the endangered Palmer School of Chiropractic. ORDER

THE LAW OF CAUSE AND CURE OF DIS-EASE, or THE LAW OF PRODUCTIONS AND REDUCTION OF VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION. Of late there has been a decided tendency of some of our best students to link a creed religion philosophy into the Chiropractic practice. The two are as inconsistent today as they were in the days of D. D. Palmer. Another of our adherents strongly endorses and supports a “scientific prayer” philosophy and supports his position with deep logic. Somewhere there IS a demonstrable and practical application of all truths that uderlie any and all religions. Somewhere there is a stability of fact weaving itself in and through this earnest desire of men. If any fact IS, then there is a practical explanation. It is that this talk aims to seek, solve, and explain. – B. J. Palmer ORDER

In 1924 THE HOUR HAD STRUCK. In 1931 THE HOUR HAS ARRIVED when the NCM is established and no one has successfully challenged its scientific service; whereas thousands have successfully proven it IS a Chiropractic necessity in Chiropractic service by a chiropractor. Verily, I say again unto ye: THE HOUR DID STRIKE in 1924; and THE HOUR HAS ARRIVED in 1931 for a complete vindication of the NCM and the man who invented it, as well as the man who endorsed it and stood hard by during those stormy and troublesome years to see that it come into its own. – B. J. Palmer ORDER

The purpose of this talk on A HOLE IN ONE (HIO) is to educate the patient about what Chiropractic is, what it is not; what it does, what it does not do and how it does it, so that patients may intelligently ascertain a competent chiropractor by what equipment he may have in his office and how he talks and with what he ascertains the subluxation and adjusts it. It is the patient’s right to insist upon Chiropractic and nothing more-if he desires to get well. -B.J. PALMER. ORDER

As a collector of Chiropractic relics I often come across old items that are unidentified, never categorized, nor placed into the cannon of our Chiropractic history. Such is the case when six leafs of very old hand-typed, newsprint came into my possession entitled “WHEN IS A SUBLUXATION?” by —“B.J.” This lecture from 1932 explores the question that had troubled B.J.’s mind: “The Periodicity of Disease and Subluxation.” Herein B.J. attempts to scientifically solve the problem “When is a Subluxation?” As such, I am pleased to present this rescued piece of Chiropractic history and preserve it for posterity. – Chiro-Picker ORDER
