Opinion of the Court

Sherwood, C. J.

The evidence adduced had no tendency to show authority on the part of Dr. Webber to bind defendant to pay for the boarding and nursing of Fleming, or any other of the items in plaintiff’s account. He certainly had no special authority to that effect, and his general authority only extended to contracts for medicines and things of that nature. Therefore, judgment reversed and cause remanded.

All concur.
