WEBER, MUSICIAN
,ENR0LLSAT
PALMER SCHOOL
Former President of Ameri.
can Federation of Musi-
clans Arrives.
Davenport Democrat.)

"Mr. Joe Weber, who up to q short
time ago was president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians, an or
ganization of 100000 members, and his
talented wife, Mrs. Geisla Weber, one
of the seven greatest lady violinists
in the world, arrived in Davenport at
2:10 this afternoon and have enrolled
at the Palmer School of Chiropractic
(Chiropractic Fountain Head), 1928
Brady street.
"The determination of Mr.. Weber
and his talented wife to become Chiro'
practors and give up their remunera'
tive work which has made them
world famous, is the result Of the won
derful good Chiropractic accomplished
for Mrs. Weber after specialists and
scientists Of this country had said
that she would never again have the
use Of her priceless arms. Mrs. Web
er lost the use of both of her arms
the arms which had played the violin
before the crowned heads of Europe
and had made great audiences all over
this country respond to her wonderful
taent. She consulted the greatest
physicians and always with the same
result: "You will never again have the
use of your arms" AS last resort
she went to Heinrich Dueringer, Chiro
practor, New York City, graduate Of
the Palmer School, and under his ad
justments life was restored in the
arms which had been pronounced
dead, and she was again able to re
sumo her concert work.
"Mr. Weber has been endeavoring
for a year to give up his work for the
musicians of this country and Canada
and take up Chiropractic, realizing
what a wonderful science it is and
what it accomplishes for the sick and
afflicted. Last July he rendered his
resignation as president of the great
organization, but it was not accepted
Instead his salary was raised from
$5,O 900 per annum to $500. This year
he again resigned and the organiza
ton raised his salary from $500 tc
So, 500 per year, but at this time Mr.
Weber stated that he would not con
sent to remain even for $4,000 pei
year; that he was going to become a
Chiropractor and go forth and do fol
the suffering the great good he knew
could be accomplished through Chiro
practic. Mrs. Weber brought with hel
the $4,000 "Strad" violin which she
possesses and will have the same de
posted in a safety vault"
At the school at this time rs differ
ent colleges and universities are repre-
scented by the student body.
Lewis e. coss, who has offices in the
Loney Block, graduated from the Pal
mer school the third of last month
with the degree of Doctor Of chiro
practic.
