[Approved by U. S. Census and American Public Health Association)

Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of oeeupa- tion 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, Compos- itor, Architect, Locomotive engineer, Civil engineer, Stationary fireman, ete. But in many cases, especially in industrial einployments, 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) Salcsman, (b) Grocery; (a) Foreman, (b) Automobile factory. The ma- terial worked on may form part of the second statement. Never return "Laborer,"

"Foreman," "Manager," "Dealer," ete., 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. Care should be taken to report spe- eifieally the occupations of persons engaged in domestie serviee 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 indi- eated thus: Farmer (retired, 6 yrs.). For persons who have no occupation whatever, write None.

Statement of cause of death. - Name, first, the DISEASE CAUSING DEATII (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"); Diphthcria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneumonia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unquali- fied, is indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, meninges, peri- toneum, ete., Carcinoma, Sarcoma, ete., of_

(name origin; "Cancer" is less definite; avoid use of "Tumor" for malignant neoplasms); Mcaslcs; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, ete. The contributory (secondary or inter- current) affeetion need not be stated unless important. Example: Mcasles (disease causing death), 29 ds .; Broncho- pneumonia (sccondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symp- toms or terminal conditions, such as " Asthenia," "Anemia" (merely symptomatie), "Atrophy," "Col- lapse," "Coma," "Convulsions,"" "Debility" ("Con- genital," "Senile," ete.), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Hemorrhage," "Inanition," "Maras- mus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia," "Weakness," ete., when a definite discase ean be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all diseases resulting from ehild- birth or miscarriage, as "PUERPERAL septicemia," "PUER- PERAL peritonitis," ete. 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 sueh, if impossible to de- termine definitely. Examples: Accidental drowning; Struck by railway train - accident; Revolver wound of hicad - homicide; Poisoned by carbolic acid - probably suicide. The nature of the injury, as fraeture 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, etc.

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

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

4. Deaths under eireumstances unknown, as A person found dcad, etc.
