Fontaine’s Clinics, Inc., 499 S.W.2d 87 (Tex.1973) this court held that an issue on actual damages was overly broad when it contained an inappropriate instruction that allowed recovery for “loss of monetary reward.” A proper instruction would have included net profits or another legal measure of damages.
