Syllabus
<p>In an action against a physician for damages arising out of his unskillful treatment of a patient, the court below instructed the jury that if they believed that the plaintiff was injured by the unskillful treatment, ignorance, carelessness, or neglect of the defendant as a physician, they should find for the plaintiff. Meld, that it was error to instruct the jury as to carelessness or neglect, as no damages were sought on those accounts, and the decree of a court cannot exceed the prayer of the petition.</p>
