Abstract/Notes

From a landmark court verdict in 1907, fledgling chiropractic emerged with a distinctive philosophy and a newfound willingness to do battle in the courtroom and the state legislature.  Dr. B.J. Palmer assumed almost a dictatorial authority as the self-styled “developer” of chiropractic.  For the next two decades, the profession was dominated by a philosophy that many denounced as unabashed cultism.  The story of the court proceeding, in which the new profession would itself be on trial, is related in the case of Wisconsin vs Morikubo, Morikubo being an early graduate of the Palmer School whom became the focus for B.J. Palmer’s new survival mode.
