Joseph P. Alexander vs. Davol Rubber Company
    Pet. No. 167
    November 27, 1917
    For petitioner: E. P. B. Atwood.
    For respondent: Boss & Barnelield.
   TANNER, P. J.

We are of the opinion that the plaintiff has not proven that he was injured through an accident. We think it more reasonable that his trouble was the result of occupation disease. We think the neuritis from which he suffers is the result of the continuous pressure required in the occupation he was following rather than of any sudden twisting which he- describes.

The petition must therefore be denied.
