If physicians would return their births as promptly and fully as the law requires, the records would be more correct. Although they should be returned on or before the fifth of the following month, but very few conform to the law, while the most of the physicians delay until the January of the following year before they are returned to the town clerk, and one was received as late as January 29, 1895, from W. M. Babbitt, M. D.
