Syllabus

<p>1. Physicians and Surgeons — Negligence-Evidence.</p> <p>Two of the defendants were not the owners of, nor connected with the management of the sanitarium at the date of the accident of which plaintiff complains.</p> <p>Suit against them did not lie. They are not liable.</p> <p>2. Same.</p> <p>The attendant of the sanitarium was not sufficiently careful, and did not follow the prescription. The injury, if any, was very slight. There was pain caused to the patient. Nominal damages allowed.</p> <p>An attendant in a sanitarium should be careful, and it is the duty of those in charge to compel the nurse to be careful, and not neglect the patient who is under the care of the sanitarium, and to whom it must see, to some extent at least, that medicines are properly administered.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
