William J. Moldenhauer, Appellee, v. Joseph Moskalczuk, Appellant.
    Gen. No. 23,906.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Municipal Court op Chicago, § 13
      
       — when statement of claim is sufficient in action to recover for medical services. Where the statement of claim in an action by a physician to recover for medical services recites that the action was for medical services, that those services were rendered in specified years and that the amount of the claim is a stated number of dollars, the statement of claim sufficiently complies with the requirements of section 40 of the Municipal Court Act (J. & A. If 3352).
    2. Physicians and surgeons, § 28b* — when verdict for plaintiff in action for medical services is proper. In an action by a physician to recover for medical services, evidence held sufficient to support a verdict for plaintiff.
    3. Physicians and surgeons, § 28b* — when allowance of item of claim for medical services is not error. On an appeal from a judgment for plaintiff in an action to recover for medical services, where there is no evidence in the record of any cross-examination as to one of the items of service which is set up in the statement of facts nor of anything in rebuttal of the claim therefor, the Appellate Court cannot say that the allowance of the claim for such item was error.
