Abstract/Notes

The chiropractic profession has long been told that the first legislation seeking authorization of chiropractic practice was introduced in Minnesota in 1905.  In fact, the first such legislation was introduced in Iowa in 1904, under the name "psychiropathy," an umbrella to cover healing by hand (as chiropractic or magnetic) or mind (psychic or suggestive) or by other drugless means.  This article introduces the author of that legislation.  Osce P. Butters, a character previously unknown to chiropractic history; traces the fate of the bill; and explores how Butters and psychiropathy involved and may have influenced chiropractic practitioners B.J. Palmer and Solon M. Langworthy.
