The Great Undertow:
Lost B.J. Palmer Book (1929) Published by Dr. H. T. Hughes
by Rob Sinnott, D.C.
I had the pleasure of preparing this text for publishing for the great chiropractor
Dr. Harold Hughes (PSC '47) over the past 18 months. Dr. Hughes passed from the
physical plane days before this text went to print here, but thankfully his sons
have completed the final steps and made it available to a profession in desperate
need for the words etched across these pages.
Dr. Palmer's last revision of this text was never published. It was dated weeks
before the Great Depression struck America, and I suspect this to be the reason
it was set aside for so long. As an avid historian of the profession, I promise
you that this is without question the most important book written by BJ Palmer.
It is a book for TODAY. It speaks to the issues we face today with clarity, if
we would but learn from these pages.
Dr. Hughes had made arrangements for the proceeds of this text to go 100% to
his student scholarship trust fund. It has my wholehearted endorsement to any interested
in the future of the profession. No chiropractic book collection is near complete
without this book and it should be required reading in our schools!
