TAYLOR, Justice.
I concur with Justice McFadden. Having regard to the nature of hernia and the manner of its incidence when caused by an accident (In re Hillhouse’s Estate, 46 Idaho 730, 271 P. 459 [1928] Dissent p. 735), I am of the opinion that, by the 1927 amendment of I.C. § 72-316 and particularly the addition thereto of subsection 4, the legislature intended to make the requirement of proof that the hernia was reported to the employer within thirty days after the accident, a condition of compensability, without regard to the issue of prejudice under the old section 72-405.
