 While due care should be exercised by the trial court in seeing that spb stantial similarity Of conditions is
 proven as prerequisite to admitting the evidence as to the result of an sz- pertinent, care should also be sxer- kcised not to reject such evidence when it is manifest that 1t will tend to shed light upon the original trans- action especially when the real duss- ton is circumscribed by such narrow limits as in this ease.
