Pagina 55 - It is sufficient to say that an injury -is received 'in the course of' the employment when it comes while the workman is doing the duty which he is employed to perform.

Pagina 99 - First. As a rule an employer is more competent to judge the efficiency of the doctor employed and to provide efficient medical and surgical treatment. Second.

The- more serious the result of the injury, the more the employer must pay. Also by this means he obtains a complete knowledge of the exact condition of the...
