Court listed the elements to be proven in an occupational disease case and an exposure case. Court ruled that although an occupational disease was not shown there was sufficient evidence to establish an exposure case. This was an occupational bronchitis case. This case mainly dealt with the requirement of showing a causal connection between the employment and the resulting bronchitis and the evidence needed to establish this causal connection. There was medical testimony establishing causal connection. Court ruled that this was a compensable exposure case.
