 fendaut has held him up to public ridicule, humiliation and contempt as an object of inspection,' and further that the plaintiff lis engaged in a lawful business in the city of Hot Springs in an endeavor to maintain livelihood for himself and his family, and that the defendant in his effort to so advertise his business, as afore- said. has caused his place of business to be visited by people who were prospective purchasers of Lopez, who have in the presence of his customers and others, openly and without re- serve attempted to discuss with this plaintiff his physical misfortunes."
