Some of the first x-ray machines were simply tubes suspended by the wires connected to each end of them. I live in Davenport, Iowa where Dr. Palmer developed his manipulation techniques that came to be called Chiropractic care. He experimented with X-rays, care for mentally ill etc. It is rumored that he gave his wife Mabel cancer from taking so many X-rays of her. That is what she died of. He also spent several stints in the county jail for practicing medicine without a license.
