Davenport Doctor Fails to Convince
Committee

and the spinal column figured in a hot
discussion before the Senate committee
on public health yesterday when the
Morris bill relating to the practice of
chiropractic came uD for a hearing. The
bill will be reported for death.
DR.. Palmer of the Davenport Chiro-
practic school was on hand to advocate
the recommendation of the bill but his
efforts failed. Dr. J. 3. Stevens, secre-
tary of the state board of medical ex-
aminers, who halls from Jefferson, was
pitted against him III the hottest kind Of
a debate in which members of the COM
mittee entered occasionally. DR.. Palmer
insisted that chiropractOrS had discov-
cred new nerves which, with proper
treatment with the hands. cured victims
of many diseases. He maintained that
present medical knowledge was wrong i'll
theory and practice and said that chro-
practors would before long correct many
present mistakes. DR.. Stevens took is
sue with him when DR.. Palmer said that
he had traced new nerves their entire
length. He offered to furnish Dr. Palm
er with a cadaver and pay his board and
expenses for as long as he remained at
the job if he would come 20 Madison
and trace the nerves of which he spoke.
Dr. Palmer protested that he did not
have time 70 accept the offer, but offered
to produce photographs taken during
long periods of research.
DR.. Palmer'S bill sought to crea te a
special board of examiners appointed by
the governor, this board to have jurisdc-
ton over practitioners of the new medi-
cal science. 1t was to be separate from
the present board of medical examiners.
The discussion came to an abrupt end
yesterday when Dr. Palmer left to catch

voters toward liberation of all religions and
toward honest and efficient government in

This voluntary testimony may well be
accepted by the sons of Erin, who are
preparing to celebrate tomorrow the
memory of Ireland's patron saint. as
pleasant evidence of the high esteem in
