Excerpt from A Method of Estimating Adduction and Abduction of the Leg in Hip Disease Of course it is not assumed that the anterior superior epines are the same distance apart as the acetabula, but the practical centre of motion of the leg in adduction and abduction is not at the acetabu lum but outside of it, as can easily be seen in the skeleton. This is of course on account of the angle that the shaft makes with the neck of the femur. So far as could be determined. It was well enough represented by saying that it was in the lines of the anterior superior Spines. The only inaccuracy likely to be caused by this, would be possibly in the adult female pelvis where the flare was extreme and even here the error would be small and of little account.

Excerpt from Intubation Versus Tracheotomy: Being a Study of 858 Cases Operated on at the Boston City Hospital The Operation of intubation for the relief of croup is one that has excited the deepest interest in the last few years, and its merit is a question Of the greatest practical value. It comes into competition, of course, with the Older Operation of tracheotomy, and the question Of the comparative merits Of the two is one that has been the subject of many articles. At the end Of six years of trial, during which time the Operation has been performed upon thousands of cases, intubation stands in a position to be judged on its merits, and to be compared with the operation of tracheotomy as a life-saving measure. There are two methods of presenting this com parison to the reader: (i) By the relation of per sonal experience and by weight of authority1 (2) by the statistical method, which is open to the Objection pertaining to all statistical inquiries in medicine.

Excerpt from Late Excision of the Hip One may assume that Vincent, of Lyons,' is a fair exponent of this policy, to which he agrees in his writ ing; and it is interesting to note that in 233 cases of hip disease treated at the Charité Hospital, where this policy was followed, 52 were resected, being at the rate of per cent. Of all cases. At the Children's Hospital, Boston, in cases, 50 were resected, being at the 'rate of per cent. This comparison seems to indicate that French conservatism is about five times as Operative as is American conservatism. Menard probably represents French Opinion in general, in stating that, Resection ought not to be reserved for desperate cases; if one wishes to obtain good results the Operation must be done in time.

Robert Williamson Lovett was born on November 18, 1859 in Beverly, Massachusetts, United States. He was the only child of John Dyson and Mary Elizabeth (Williamson) Lovett, his ancestry running back through mariners and merchants to early colonial days. His boyhood seems to have been somewhat restricted because of a natural parental solicitude for the last male of his line. The woolen business in which his father was engaged brought the family to Boston winters.
Lovett was prepared for college at two famous old schools in Boston, Chauncy Hall and Noble's. He received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Harvard College in 1881 and that of Doctor of Medicine from the Harvard Medical School in 1885. Later he gained surgical experience from an eighteen months' internship at the Boston City Hospital.
Around 1887 Lovett had four months medical service at the New York Orthopedic Hospital. Afterwards he began his practise in Boston. Becoming connected with the out-patient department of the City Hospital he was at length appointed visiting surgeon. Early interest in crippled children became a controlling passion, which slowly drew him away from general surgery, until in 1899 he resigned from the City Hospital.
Thereafter the Boston Children's Hospital became his main clinic. The breadth of view which long surgical training had given him was now focused upon orthopedic surgery. He held many accessory appointments, was made chief surgeon of the Massachusetts Hospital School at Canton, and until his death was the guiding spirit in the development of the New England Peabody Home for Crippled Children.
In 1912 he became head of the department of orthopedic surgery at the Boston Children's Hospital and succeeded Edward Hickling Bradford as the John Ball and Buckminster Brown Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the Harvard Medical School. He organized the Harvard Infantile Paralysis Commission and became its chairman in 1916. The states of New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts sought his aid in their fights against the ravages of this disease. Holding the commission of major during the World War, he was in charge of the training of medical officers in military orthopedic surgery.
Lovett's contributions to medical literature were voluminous. Among his more important monographs are Diseases of the Hip Joint (1891), Lateral Curvature of the Spine and Round Shoulders (1907), The Treatment of Infantile Paralysis (1916). He was co-author with Edward H. Bradford of the leading early textbook in his special field, A Treatise on Orthopedic Surgery (1890), and his crowning work, prepared in co-operation with his friend Sir Robert Jones, Orthopedic Surgery, appeared in 1923.

Lovett was elected as a member and president of the American Orthopedic Association and of the Boston Surgical Society. He was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and of the American College of Surgeons, a member of the Society Internationale de Chirurgie, and honorary or corresponding member of British, French, and Italian orthopedic associations.
Lovett was subtle in approach, rarely polemic, quick of wit, often merry. This tall, spare aristocrat of medicine could compell men and women to work for him and with him and retain their loyalty. The controlling purpose of his life was to make contributions to his specialty which would outlive him. For this he successfully labored with an intensity which never dulled his intellect but proved his physical undoing.
In 1895 Lovett married Elizabeth Moorfield Storey, eldest daughter of Moorfield Storey. His wife and a daughter survived him.
