STANDARD CERTIFICATE OF DEATH.

Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of oeeu- pation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits ean be known. The question applies to each and every person, irrespective of age. For many occupations a single word or term on the first line will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Compositor, Architect, Loco- motive engineer, Civil engineer, Stationary fireman, ete. But in many cases, especially in industrial employments, it is necessary to know (a) the kind of work and also (b) the nature of the business or industry, and therefore an additional line is provided for the latter statement; it should be used only when needed. As examples: (a) Spinner, (b) Cotton mill; (a) Sales- man, (b) Grocery; (a) Forcman, (b) Automobile factory. The material worked on may form part of the second statement. Never return "Laborer," "Foreman," "Manager," "Dealer," ete., without more precise specifieation, as Day laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer - Coal mine, ete. Women at home, who are engaged in the duties of the household only (not paid House- keepers who receive a definite salary), may be entered as Housewife, Housework, or At home, and children, not gain- fully employed, as At school or At home. Care should be taken to report specifically the occupations of persons engaged in domestie service for wages, as Servant, Cook, Housemaid, ete. If the oeeupation has been changed or given up on account of the DISEASE CAUSING DEATH, state occupation at beginning of illness. If retired from business, that faet may be indicated thus: Farmer (retircd, 6 yrs.). For persons who have no oeeu- pation whatever, write None.


Statement of cause of death. - Name, first, the DIS- EASE CAUSING DEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and eausation), using always the same accepted term for the same disease. Examples: Cerebro-spinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemie eerebro-spinal meningitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never rc- port "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneumonia; Broncho- pneumonia ("Pneumonia," unqualified, is indefinite) ; Tuber-


culosis of lungs, meninges, peritonaeum, cte., Carcinoma, Sar- coma, ete., of (name origin: "Caneer" is less definite; avoid use of "Tumor" for malignant neoplasms); Mcasles; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart discasc; Chronic interstitial nephritis, ete. The contributory (second- ary or intereurrent) affection need not be stated unless im- portant. Example: Mcasles (disease causing death), 29 ds .; Broncho-pneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report mere „symptoms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "An- aemia" (merely symptomatie), "Atrophy," "Collapse," "Coma," "Convulsions," "Debility" ("Congenital," "Senile," ete.), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Haemorrhage," "Inanition," "Marasmus," "Old age," "Shoek," "Uraemia," "Weakness," ete., when a definite disease ean be aseertained as the cause. Always qualify all diseases resulting from childbirth or miscarriage, as "PUER- PERAL septicaemia," "PUERPERAL peritonitis," ete. State eause for which surgical operation was undertaken. For VIOLENT DEATHS state MEANS OF INJURY and qualify as ACCI- DENTAL, SUICIDAL, Or HOMICIDAL, or as probably such, if impossible to determine definitely. Examples: Accidental drowning; Struck by railway train - accident; Revolver wound of head - homicide; Poisoned by carbolic acid - probably suicide. The nature of the injury, as fracture of skull, and consequences (e. g., sepsis tetanus) may be stated under the head of "Contributory."


Cases for the Medical Examiners. - Under the provi- sions of chapter 24 of the Revised Laws deaths under the fol- lowing conditions must be referred to the Medieal Examiners:


1. Deaths following injury or violence, as Burns, Falls, Drowning, Gas poisoning, Suicide, Homicide, ete.


2. Deaths supposedly caused by violenee, as Criminal abortion, Poisoning, Starvation, Suffocation, Ex- posure, ete.


3. Sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, as A death upon the street, or onc supposed to be duc to Alcoholism, ete.


4. Deaths under eireumstanees unknown, as A person found dead, etc,
