LIST OF INDEFINITE TERMS WHICH SHOULD BE AVOIDED IN GIVING CAUSES OF DEATH.


Acute gastritis.


State cause. Was it due to some irritant poison ?


Ascites. Name disease causing ascites. See "Dropsy."


Asphyxia.


How? Was it accidental? If so, state fully the nature of the accident. If by gases or poisonous vapors, give particulars. Was it a case of "overlying" (child) ? What disease caused this condition ?


Asthenla.


A practically worthless statement. See "Debility." What was the cause?


Atrophy. What caused the atrophy? Was it tuberculous wasting (phthisis) ? Was it syphilis? What organ or part atrophied ?


Biood poisoning.


Do you mean septicemia, syphilis, or any other definite disease? If septicemia, what was the cause? Was it puerperal ?


Chronic pneumonia.


Was this not pulmonary tuberculosis ?


Congestion of lungs.


Was it acute bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, or lobar- pneumonia? If so, state definitely. Was it passive or hypostatic congestion ? If so, name disease causing the condition.


Convulsions.


What caused the convulsions? Were they epileptic, puerperal, or caused by diarrhea or enteritis (infants) ? Name the disease in which the convulsions occurred. "Convulsions" are mere symptoms and should not be given as equivalent to a proper statement of cause of death.


Debility.


What caused the debility? Name the acute or chronic disease. Debility might follow typhoid fever, diph- theria, tuberculosis, Bright's disease, and a host of other causes. The return is worthless and should never be made.


Dentition.


What was the disease causing death of the teething child ? "Dentition" is not a proper cause of death, and, like "infantile" and "old age," does little except to mark the approximate age of decedents.


Dropsy. Name the disease in which the "dropsy" occurred.


Dyspepsia.


Was there organic disease of the stomach or other organs ? If so, name the disease causing death.


Eclampsia.


Give cause of convulsions. Were they puerperal?

"General paralysis" should be written only for "general paralysis of the insane," or paretic dementia, and the statement of the fact of insanity should always be included.


Heart failure.


What disease caused the "heart failure"? The heart always "fails" before death from any cause. Be par- ticularly careful that deaths from diphtheria, tubercu- losis, etc., are not so reported. If organic heart disease is meant it should be so stated.


Hemorrhage of lungs.


Was this not due to pulmonary tuberculosis? If so, the primary cause should be reported without fail.


Hypostatic congestion.


Name the disease causing the passive or hypostatic con- gestion.


State name of disease causing imperfect nutrition. Did it


follow some disease? If so, give name of disease.


This is a particularly pernicious term and is responsible for a multitude of worthless certificates. It sounds as if it meant something definite, but, in the majority of cases, it does not. What disease caused the inanition ? Was it syphilis, tuberculosis, cholera infantum? If inability to take food, state cause.


Infantile asthenia. See " Asthenia." The term "infantile" adds no to an indefinite statement.
