The complaint alleges that on September 28, 1912, the plaintiff fractured the bone of her right arm and called Dr. MORRISON to set the injured limb, that the work was done so negligently and carelessly that the bones were not placed in juxtaposition and therefore did not knit or heal.

Plaintiff also asks for the sum of $4270 expended for medicine, operations, etc., and for the further sum of $2500, this representing the sum he would have earned as an attorney, had he not been injured.

Plaintiff was struck and thrown to the ground. His rig was demolished and he suffered a fracture of the ankle of the right let and was confined to his home for several weeks.
