noon was one which materially effects
the medical profession. It was held
that it is not enough for the plain

ed by a physician, but he must show
that the injury was due to lacking
skill in the treatment OF the case. In
this case it was not shown that Brock
licked in the skillful treatment of the
patient. Mrs. wilkins and the testi.
mony only shows that she was injured.
