On an appeal to the Circuit Court from the findings of the board of arbitrators and trial de novo before a jury, in proceedings for compensation under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act, evidence that claimant has no education is admissible on the question of what limitations there are on claimant\u2019s earning capacity after the accident and injury.\n3. Evidence, \u00a7 410*\u2014when physician may testify that later injury was caused by original injury. Where' there is no dispute as to the manner and cause of an injury, and no dispute that an injury has been sustained, it is competent for a physician to testify directly that a later malady was caused by the accident or original injury.\n4. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1316*\u2014when party cannot complain of any error in an instruction given for adverse party. A party cannot Complain of any error in an instruction given for the adverse party when it fails to set out its own instructions in the abstract, and it will be assumed that there may have been an instruction among those not set out which cured the error.\n5. Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act\u2014when claimant not estopped to recover compensation by doctrine of election of remedies. Where an injured employee files a petition for the appointment of arbitrators under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act, and later commences an action on the case in the Circuit Court, claiming that the employer is liable to him under section 3 of the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act (J. & A. j[ 5451), because of an intentional omission to comply with statutory safety regulations, but, before the conclusion of the trial, takes a nonsuit, he is not estopped by the doctrine of election of remedies from securing the reinstatement of the proceedings under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act, they having been, in the meantime, dismissed with leave to reinstate, and prosecuting them to a final conclusion.",

Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act, \u00a7 12 \u2014what evidence is sufficient to sustain general verdict for compensation for partial permanent disability. In proceedings for compensation under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act of 1911 (J. & A. If 5449 et seq.), it is unnecessary that the evidence, to sustain a general verdict by the jury, should be so clear and complete in a case of partial permanent disability that the amount of compensation can be figured therefrom with mathematical accuracy. \u2022\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Livingston county; the Hon. Geobge W. Patton, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the October term, 1917.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed April 9, 1918.\nCertiorari denied by Supreme Court (making opinion final).\nStatement of the Case.\nProceedings by Alonzo D.
