Syllabus

<p>1. Where in an action for damages the declaration when fairly considered as an entirety states facts from which it may reasonably be inferred that the negligence alleged was a proximate cause of the stated injury, a demurrer addressed to that point is properly overruled.</p> <p>2. A judgment will not be reversed for harmless errors in rulings on the admissibility of testimony.</p> <p>3. While the legal effect of evidence is a question of law to be passed upon by the court when properly presented, the credibility and probative force of conflicting testimony are for the determination of the jury.</p> <p>4. When there is substantial legal evidence to support the verdict, and there is nothing to indicate that the jury misapplied the law, and it does not appear by an overwhelming preponderance of the weight of the evidence or otherwise that the jury were not governed by the evidence in making their finding, the appellate court will not reverse the judgment on the ground that the verdict is not supported by the evidence.</p>
