STANDARD CERTIFICATE OF DEATH.
Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of occupa- tion is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can 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, etc. 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) Foreman, (b) Automobile factory. The material worked on may form part of the second statement. Never return "Laborer," "Foreman," " Manager,""Dealer," etc., without more precise specification, as Day laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer - Coal mine, etc. 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 domestic service for wages, as Servant, Cook, Housemaid, etc. If the occupation has been changed or given up on account of the DISEASE CAUSING DEATH, state occupation at beginning of illness. If retired from business, that fact may be indicated thus: Farmer (retired, 6 yrs.). For persons who have no occupation whatever, write None.
Statement of cause of death. - Name, first, the DISEASE CAUSING DEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always the same accepted term for the same disease. Examples: Cerebro-spinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemic cerebro-spinal meningitis") ; Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup") ; Typhoid fever (never re- port " Typhoid pneumonia ") ; Lobar pneumonia; Broncho- pneumonia (" Pneumonia," unqualified, is indefinite) ; Tuber-
culosis of lungs, meninges, peritonaeum, etc., Carcinoma, Sar- coma, etc., of .. (name origin: "Cancer" is less definite ; avoid use of " Tumor" for malignant neoplasms) ; Measles; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, etc. The contributory (second- ary or intercurrent) affection need not be stated unless im- portant. Example: Measles (disease causing death), 29 ds .; Broncho-pneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symptoms or terminal conditions, such as " Asthenia," " An- aemia " (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Collapse," "Coma," "Convulsions," "Debility " ("Congenital," "Senile," etc.), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Haemorrhage," " Inanition," " Marasmus," " Old age," "Shock," "Uraemia," "Weakness," etc., when a definite disease can be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all diseases resulting from childbirth or miscarriage, as "PUER- PERAL septicemia," " PUERPERAL peritonitis," etc. State cause for which surgical operation was undertaken.
Cases for the Medical Examiners. - Under the provisions of chapter 24 of the Revised Laws deaths under the following conditions must be referred to the Medical Examiners:
1. Deaths following injury or violence, as Burns, Falls, Drowning, Gas Poisoning, Suicide, Homicide, etc.
2. Deaths supposedly caused by violence, as Criminal Abortion, Poisoning, Starvation, Suffocation, Ex- posure, etc.
3. Sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, as A death upon the street, or one supposed to be due to Alcoholism, etc.
4. Deaths under circumstances unknown, as A person found dead, etc.
N. B. - Every item of information should be carefully supplied. AGE should be stated EXACTLY. PHYSICIANS should state CAUSE OF DEATH in plain terms, so that it may be properly classified. Exact statement of OCCUPATION is very
