“The Occasion for the Origin of the Name ‘Chiropractic’” By Theodore Schreiber, Ph.D., D.C.

Dean, Kansas-State Chiropractic College, Wichita, Kansas

“The oldest book on Chiropractic as published by the Palmer School of Chiropractic was copyrighted with the Library of Congress under date of October 29, 1906. Its title reads as follows: ‘The Science of Chiropractic, Its Principles and Adjustments.’ ‘Dr. D. D. Palmer, Discoverer and Developer of Chiropractic’ appears as the author of the volume and B. J. Palmer as the secretary of the P.S.C. and ‘the compiler’ of this work.

Much comment could be offered on these few historical facts, but the purpose of this brief study is to concentrate on the occasion for the origin of the name Chiropractic. Therefore, without further ado the writer will confine himself strictly to relating some facts pertaining to this feature only.

“According to the ‘compiler’ the story is simple and short:

“‘The Rev. Samuel H. Weed.... met Dr. D. D. Palmer in 1894, after his daughter had been wonderfully cured by magnetic healing by the doctor, of a sprained ankle that threatened her life. The doctor then relieved him by magnetic treatment of splenic trouble by which he had been laid aside from preaching. Mrs. Weed and little daughter took Chiropractic adjustments early in 1896 and were much benefited, after which Mr. Weed also received adjustments for sciatica and got relief. About this time the doctor asked him to suggest a name for the new science and art. He simply translated the doctor’s description of it, “done by hand,” into Greek, and thus originated the name Chiropractic.’ “It is of interest to learn that D. D. Palmer reprinted almost verbatim the above two paragraphs in the only book he ever published and copyrighted himself in ‘The Chiropractor’s Adjuster’ of 1910/11, page 105. On the pages 102 to 104 two letters written by Reverend Weed to D. D. Palmer are photostatically reproduced attesting to some of the claims as to origin and development of Chiropractic justly made by D. D. Palmer. Among other items we read that Rev. Weed credits D. D. Palmer with having ‘asked him to translate “done by hand” into Greek,’ and that he (Weed) ‘suggested two almost synonymous words of that meaning, of which the doctor chose one, namely, Chiropractic.’ The letter is dated ‘Monmouth, Illinois, March 27, 1908.’ The passages as underlined here appear so in the letter. “Ever since the writer became familiar with the two classics on Chiropractic, the one of 1906 and the other of 1910, he has tried to trace certain aspects of Chiropractic. ***** Two years ago he succeeded in locating two of the surviving daughters of Rev. Weed—both of whom were patients of the founder of our profession. Of course, the first step the writer undertook was a visit to Monmouth, Illinois, but the trip did not bring anything of great value to him. He found out that Rev. Weed had lived there and that one of his daughters had graduated from Monmouth College as the father had done before. Even so, his search continued, though the whereabout’s of the minister’s children were unknown there. To make a rather romantic story short, he contacted the sisters Georgia and Katharine, the only survivors of the family, while a third one, Martha by name, was largely responsible for her father’s acquaintance and lasting friendship with the discoverer of Chiropractic. “Two long hand-written letters were received, one from each, independently written and a thousand miles apart from one another, are in his possession to bear witness as to the occasion for the origin of the name Chiropractic. “‘In 1893 my sister Martha,’ writes Georgia Weed from Florida, ‘met with an accident in which the ligaments of one of her ankles were so badly turned and destroyed that her foot was left dangling. Five different M.D’s advised her to have it amputated as they said it was so badly injured that the ligaments would never grow back and gangrene would soon set in. Instead it was held in place with one hand while bathed with the other in very hot salt water; then bandaged from the toes well up the leg. This was done two or three times a day for eleven months; and still the foot would drop down unless held in place. Then someone advised her to try D. D. Palmer, who was a magnetic doctor. She did. And in a few weeks was walking without crutches. Although she wore a support on her ankle for a time, this too was eventually dispensed with. That was in 1894.

“‘My father had been an invalid for years with T.B. of the lungs, sciatic rheumatism and dropsy. My sister persuaded him to try Dr. Palmer. For some time Dr. Palmer came to the house to treat father. Then as he improved he went to Dr. Palmer’s office for his treatments. “‘Once when he went Dr. Palmer told him that he had developed a new method of treatment and explained it to father. Then after it proved so helpful, he asked father to name it. He wanted a word derived from the Greek meaning “done by hand”. Father made suggestions and finally Chiropractic was established as the name of the science and Chiropractor as the name of the practitioner. Thus two new words were coined.’

“Here a comment might be in place. In our 1906 source a ‘List of Greek Words’ appears on pages not numbered but covering two and a third pages. From it we can judge how thorough Rev. Weed was in finding a possible name for Daniel David Palmer’s ‘doing by hand.’ The last three named were ‘chiropractic,’ ‘chiropraxis’ and ‘chiropraxy,’ either one of them meaning ‘the science and art of doing by hand.’ Those having any of the later three editions of PSC Vol. I, cut as they are, will find the above retained. “The story as told above by Georgia Weed is substantially repeated by her sister Katherine. However, she recalls other data in this connection that might he worth our while. For instance she writes among other things the following: “‘I was a frail child always troubled with constipation, catarrh and croup. Father took me to Dr. D. D. Palmer when I was 3 yrs. of age.“‘Again when I was 7 I remember being taken to Dr. Sale, and having to swallow quinine capsules and taking other medicine. Then Father and I made a number of visits to Dr. Palmer in Davenport, again. Father had, at that time, dropsy. There was a sack of water, about 1/4 teacup full, on his knee. Again he recovered, and no doubt I was benefited.......“‘I remember Dr. Palmer’s apartment on the 4th floor of a building on, I believe, 2nd Street in Davenport, I remember the elevator in the building. Remember the alligators in a large glass tank of water; remember his large collection of rattlesnake rattles. Remember the deer-heads with locked horns, which adorned the living room. Remember Dr. Palmer’s kind, gentle manner of adjusting. He never charged for adjusting me; he said it was because I was good and took the adjustments well.“‘Mrs. Palmer (not the first one, and not the last one) gave me a couple of shells that she had picked up on the Gulf coast of Florida. She had B.J. who was then 17 years of age, and whom they called “Bart” come in and play the piano for us once.“‘In later years (we moved to Monmouth when I was 10 years old, and Father was 60) I remember that Father received a great deal of literature from the Palmers and a number of pictures. I remember one row of about a dozen photos of B.J. Father did some printing for Dr. D. D. Palmer in the early days, as Father had a printing office in Colona, too. I believe it was during the first course of treatment that Dr. Palmer asked Father to name his method of treatment, and so he formed the words “Chiropractor” and “Chiropractic”, etc.’ “This, then, is the story as it is recorded both by father and son, by Reverend Weed and two surviving daughters of the clergyman. In the annals of Chiropractic we must never forget the man who coined the very words by which he designated our profession.”
