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 terin on the first line will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Compos- itor, Architect, Locomotive 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) Salesman, (b) Grocery; (a) Foreman, (b) Automobile factory. The ma- terial worked on inay form part of the sceond statement. Never return "Laborer," "Forcınan," "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 Housekeepers who receive a definite salary), may be entered as Housewife, Housework, or At home, and children, not gainfully employed, as At school or At home.

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: Cerebrospinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemie cerebrospinal menin- gitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fcver (never report "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneumonia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unquali- fied, is indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, meninges, peri- toneum, etc., Carcinoma, Sarcoma, etc., of_


(naine origin; "Cancer" is less definite; avoid use of "Tumor" for malignant neoplasms); Mcaslcs; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, etc. The contributory (sceondary or inter- current) affection need not be stated unless inportant. Example: Measles (disease causing death), 29 ds .; Broncho- pneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symnp- toins or terminal conditions, such as " Asthenia,"


"Anemia" (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col-


lapse," "Coma," "Convulsions,"""Dcbility" ("Con-


genital," "Senile," etc.), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Hemorrhage," "Inanition," "Maras- mus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia," "Weakness," etc., when a definite disease can be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all diseases resulting from child- birth or miscarriage, as "PUERPERAL septicemia," "PUER- PERAL peritonitis," etc. State cause for which surgical operation was undertaken. For VIOLENT DEATHS STATE MEANS OF INJURY and qualify as ACCIDENTAL, SUICIDAL, or HOMICIDAL, or as probably such, if impossible to de- terinine 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." (Recommendations on statement of cause of death approved by Committee on Nomenclature of the American Medical Association.)


Cases for the Medical Examiners. - Under the provi- sions 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, cte.


2. Deaths supposedly caused by violence, as Criminal abortion, Poisoning, Starvation,
