Abstract/Notes

One of the first “15 disciples” graduated under D.D. Palmer before he left Davenport in 1902, S.M. Langworthy may have been the most significant key to the survival of the fledgling and embattled profession. Before B.J. Palmer asserted leadership in the 1906-07 period, Langworthy had achieved several notable “firsts:” his American School of Chiropractic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, offered the first systematic curriculum; he and his early graduates obtained the first chiropractic licensing act in Minnesota in 1905; his "Backbone" was the first regular chiropractic publication; and he published the first textbook, "Modernized Chiropractic." Yet, by 1918, he seemed to have disappeared from the scene and descended into obscurity.
