6 later decisions quote this exact passage“"In the decision of workmen's compensation cases, each case must depend on its own peculiar facts, and from these facts as related we should apply what is prescribed in the statute.

On the facts, as applied to a liberal construction of the law, the case must stand or fall. We should not be bound by previous dicta of decided cases which relate in a general way to the issues at hand. The facts may be different. The utterings of courts of appellate jurisdiction in these cases are not sacrosanct; rather, we are obliged to weigh them in the light of all facts and circumstances, * * *."”
