- Lowell was neglected
- Faxon had no right to attempt anything without first consulting a doctor who was more qualified
- Dislocations were common, and any doctor should know how to diagnose and treat them
- The hip was never properly set by the defendants

- Faxon did all that could have been expected of a rural practitioner
- Faxon was frankly just as successful as the Boston contingent: Warren was not able to reduce the dislocation either
- According to testimony by Dr. Nathan Smith there was no dislocation
- Smith also added that though he had only treated one hip dislocation he was able to reduce it without the aid of pulleys
- According to Sir Astley Cooper there is no such thing as a downwards and backwards dislocation into the ischiatic notch
- There are no previous examples anywhere of a dislocation of that nature
- They brought in a witness to testify that Lowell walked a long distance home only 14 days after the accident when he ought to have been in bed
