Bartlett Joshua (B.J.) Palmer, D.C. Ph.C.,
 Primarily known as the developer of the science of Chiropractic, Bartlett Joshua (B.J.) Palmer, D.C. Ph.C., was an example of how one individual can reach outstanding personal and professional achievements throughout a lifetime. His early work and original research in the field of Chiropractic is the foundation upon the present day teachings of the science. A prolific writer, lecturer and world traveler, he was President of the Palmer School of Chiropractic from 1906 until his death in 1961. Being one of the first to realize the potential of radio broadcasting, he became a successful entrepreneur in the radio business in the early part of this century, and also followed the trend with successful enterprises in the early days of television in the 1950’s. A self-educated individual, Palmer was involved in over 70 businesses in the latter years of his life. His thoughts and actions stand as proof of how what one thinks, says or does today, may affect the lives of many tomorrow. B.J. Palmer was an example of a self-taught genius who understood and made strong use of the divine power that is within each of us–Innate Intelligence. Throughout his life and within his teachings are examples of how Innate had helped him and instructed him, and how it can help others. As the author of over 70 books, numerous booklets, speeches, research, and various printed material on the science of Chiropractic, Palmer’s writings are filled with a unique philosophy of human nature related to a healing profession that matches no other in history Most of B.J.’s philosophy is straight forward, simplistic, extremely educational, and remains timelessly adaptable to many past and present day situations. With that idea in mind, we have presented in this short volume a sample of Palmer’s direct but simple thinking as we feel it relates to many topics. These direct extractions from his many writings are from 1904 until his death ,in 1961; many of the words being in his own unique method of spelling. We have assembled these selected excerpts for their relation not only to Chiropractic, but to common topics of interest to anyone who studies truth, the inner spirit, and higher thought; all of which are a part the innate Intelligence within each of us, and the Universal Intelligence that surrounds us. |
