Excerpt from The Immediate and Remote Results of Seventy-One Alexander and Seventy-One Suspensio-Uteri Operations Although the Alexander operation was primarily intended for cases of retroversion without adhesions, its field has been amplified in my hands by perform ing it in conjunction with posterior colpotomy in cases of moderate adhesions. This was done in nine of my cases with good results. The colpotomy proved especially useful where the uterosacral liga ments were tight. Where the ovaries were pro lapsed and free from adhesions the Alexander Opera tion, in certain cases, has restored them to a normal position, but when adherent, or when the ovarian ligaments have been long, it has not done so in a majority of cases even with the aid of colpotomy.

Walter Lincoln Burrage was born on October 26, 1860 in Boston, Massachussets, the son of Alvah Augustus and Elizabeth Amelia (Smith) Burrage. He was the fifth child and second son in a family of eight. His father, a descendant of John Burrage who settled in Charlestown, Massachussets, in 1637, was a merchant and served as alderman and in the state legislature.
Prepared for college at the private school of G. W. C. Noble, Walter entered Harvard in 1879, where he received the degree of A. B. in 1883, and those of A. M. and M. D. in 1888.
Before graduating from the medical department, he had served for two years, 1886-88, according to the prevailing custom, as house physician in the Boston City Hospital. A post on the house staff of the Woman's Hospital, New York, from 1888 until 1890 completed his training, and in February of the latter year he returned to Boston to private practice.
Here he became visiting gynecologist to the Carney and St. Elizabeth's hospitals (1890 - 1903); electro-therapeutist (1890 - 95) and surgeon to out-patients (1895 - 1901) in the Free Hospital for Women; and clinical instructor in gynecology at Harvard (1893 - 95). An attack of infantile paralysis in July 1903 resulted in the loss of use of his legs, and for the rest of his life he was confined to a chair with only occasional excursions outside his own home. This incapacity forced him to retire from active practice, but with keen mind and unflagging zeal he devoted himself to whatever professional pursuits he could undertake at his desk. Miscellaneous literary activities occupied much of his time.
He was secretary and editor of the publications of the Massachusetts Medical Society from 1909 until his death; in 1923, he published A History of the Massachusetts Medical Society 1781-1922, and in 1931, a Catalogue of Honorary, Past, and Present Fellows of the Massachusetts Medical Society, 1781-1931.
As member of the house committee and later as secretary, he served the Boston Medical Library from 1896 until 1926, when he was obliged to resign as a member of the governing board because attending the monthly meetings entailed too severe a strain.
In 1916 he became director of the Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children, the first day school in the United States (established in 1894) to train children partially paralyzed by infantile paralysis. This work, also, proved too exacting for his strength and after two years he gave it up.
During the World War, as secretary for the Massachusetts branch of the medical section of the Council of National Defense he rendered yeoman service to the men who came up for enlistment, keeping an accurate file of his findings.
A long-time friendship with Dr. Howard A. Kelly resulted in collaboration in some of Dr. Kelly's writings: two chapters for Medical Gynecology (1908); a section on senile appendicitis for the Appendicitis (1909); and biographies of Massachusetts worthies for the three editions of American Medical Biographies (1912, 1920, 1928), in the preparation of which he also helped editorially.
He died suddenly at home with his family in Brookline, Massachussets.
Dr. Walter Lincoln Burrage's contributed to the medical field of study through his numerous written works and publications, such as his "Gynecological Diagnosis", which appeared in 1910. Walter Burrage also wrote in part and edited "Guide to Boston for Physicians" (1921), prepared for the fifteen thousand visitors to the annual meeting of the American Medical Association held in Boston that year. He contributed a chapter, "Medicine in Massachusetts, " to the fifth volume of the Commonwealth History of Massachusetts (1927 - 30).

His keen interest in everything and everyone drew friends continually to his side. He bore his infirmity not only with fortitude but with cheer and was ever helpful to others. Books of biography, history, travel, and detective stories carried him out of his four walls to far-off lands and varied environments.
Quotations: On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation from Harvard he wrote that he was "still swirling around in the whirlpool of life, while some of my dear classmates and best friends have been caught by the main current and carried out to sea. A mostly shut-in life is not so bad as might be expected by one who has not been there. Friends drop in and there is much good conversation; a trip to Harvard College in a motor car serves to keep in touch ; my piazza, where I spend a good deal of time, looks out on both flower and vegetable gardens, and the bird bath under my window attracts an every varying group of feathered neighbors. A devoted family has helped to smooth the rough places".
Walter Burrage was a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society. He was also a fellow of the American Gynecological Society from 1898 and a member of other professional societies, to which he contributed frequent papers.
Walter Lincoln Burrage had married, October 3, 1894, Sally Swan, by whom he had one son, Walter Swan, and two daughters, Ruth and Sally.
