 As to Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Tyler. it seems unlikely that both, by reason solely of the bodily injuries sustained by them and the shock attending the same, have suffered disability, to the extent claimed by each, but it is clear that, taking into account and making allowance for other possible elements contributing to, or az gravatlng theirs condition, of health, the injuries and shock suffered by them be- , cause of and as 8 result of the defend ants negligence, proxii1ately caused them much physical pain, some degree of last ing disfigurement, severe and pretracted nervousness and mental suffering and
