Chiropractic goes to Washington: with Dr. Emmett J. Murphy, 1938-1964.

Articulate, urbane, naturally companionable, and always prepared, Dr. Emmett J. Murphy was perfectly suited to the office he created as chiropractic's first full-time national lobbyist. As labor relations director of the National Chiropractic Association from 1938 to 1964, he worked diligently to increase awareness of chiropractic among legislators, the federal bureaucracy, veterans organizations, labor and other groups equally concerned about the affairs of government. Many of his accomplishments, especially for chiropractic students, were pioneering efforts.
