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

(name origin; "Cancer" is less definite; avoid use of ""Tuinor" for malignant neoplasms); Measles; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, etc. The contributory (secondary or inter- current) affection need not be stated unless important. Example: Measles (disease causing death), 29 ds .; Broncho- pneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symp- toms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (increly symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col-

(“Con- lapse," "Coma," ""Convulsions,"" "Debility" genital," "Senile," etc.), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Hemorrhage," "Inanition," "Maras- inus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia," "Weakness," ctc., 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- termine 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,

under the head of "Contributory." (Recommendations on statement of cause of deatlı approved by Committee on Nomenclature of the American Medical Association.)

Casos 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, 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.

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, Locomotive engineer, Civilengineer, 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.

Care should be taken to report spe- cifically the occupations of persons engaged in domestic service for wages, as Servant, Coak, 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.

EXTRACTS FROM THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNING THE 'RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH

A physician shali forthwith, after the death of a person whom he has attended during his last illness, at the request of an undertaker or other authorized person or of any member of the family of the deceased, furnish for registration a standard certificate of death, stating to the best of his knowledge and belief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the disease of which he died [defined so that it can be classified under the international classification of causes of death], where contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician, and the date of his death. . .. - Revised Laws, Chap. 29, Secs. 10 and 1. as amended by Acts of 1910, Chap. 322.

No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body . . . until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent, . . . or .. . from the clerk of the city or town in which the person died; . . . no such permit shall be issued until there shall have been delivered to such board, agent or cierk, . . . a satisfactory written statement con- taining the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which ... shall be accompanied by a satisfactory certificate of the at- tending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a certifi- cate as hercinafter provided. If there is no attending physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, the chairman of the board of health, if a physician, or any physician employed Sby said board or by the selectmen for the purpose, shail upon application make such certificate as is required of the attending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical examiner only shall make such certificate. . .. The person to whom the per- mit is so given and the physician who certifies to the cause of death shall thereafterfurnish for registration any other necessary information which can be obtained as to the deceased, or as to the manner or cause of the death, which the clerk or registrar may require. - Revised Laws, Chap. 78, Sec. 38.

Medical examiners shall, in all cases, certify to the city or town clerk or to the city registrar in the place where the deceased died, his name and residence, if known, otherwise a description of such person as full as may be, with the cause and manner of his death, and shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have come to their death by violence. - Revised Laws, Chap. 24, Sec. 8.

RULES OF PRACTICE

The fulfilment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observance of the following rules of practice:

(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last illness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.

(2) Board of Health Physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physician is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.

(3) Medical examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup- posably due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from injury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persone found dead.
