In the Matter of the Claim of Robert Bosdyck, Respondent, against Rochester Folding Box Company and Another, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.
   Claimant has an award for total disability caused by tuberculosis of the lungs. The first objective symptom was a pulmonary hemorrhage. This occurred directly after claimant had carried a bundle of paper or cardboard weighing about seventy-five pounds a distance and up a short flight of stairs. He had been engaged in the same work most of the day.' A physician testified that claimant had tuberculosis, or at least was predisposed toward it before the hemorrhage; that the strain of lifting the paper ruptured a blood vessel in the lungs and activated the previously dormant condition. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., McNamee, Crapser, Bliss and Heffernan, JJ.
