(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths supposably 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 in- jury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.
STATEMENT OF CAUSE OF DEATH
Medical Examiners in certifying to a death will state the cause and manner thereof, and will specify: (1) Under cause, the nature of an injury and of its consequences; and (2) under manner, the mode of its production together with the circumstances when these are known. For example: "Compound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gas bacillus) caused by a steam railway accident." "Pistol shot wound of the chest with associated hemorrhage, homi-
cidal." "Asphyxiation by suspension, suicidal." " Syn- cope while under the influence of ether administered as a surgical anæsthetic." "Fracture of the skull with associated internal injury sustained under circumstances unknown."
If investigation shows the death to have been due to dis- ease, specify: (1) Under cause, its known or presumable nature; and (2) under manner, indicate the circumstances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example: "Hemorrhage spontaneous, of the brain (basal gangloid) (found dead in bed)." "Heart disease, presumably coronary sclerosis. (Sudden death.)"
DESCRIPTION (for unknown person) ..
NOTICE TO UNDERTAKERS : No embalming fluid, or any substitute therefor, shall be injected into the body of any person supposed to have come to his death by violence, until a permit in writing, signed by the Medical Examiner, has first been obtained. - Revised Laws, Chap. 24, Sec. 20.

As examples: (a) Spinner, (b) Cotton mill; (a) Salesman, (b) Grocery; (a) Foreman, (b) Automobile factory. The material worked on may form part of the second statement.

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, tho DISEASE CAUSING DEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always tho samo accepted term for the same discase. Examples: Cere- brospinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneumonia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unqualified, is indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, men- inges, peritoneum, etc., Carcinoma, Sarcoma, 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 (secondary or inter- current) affection need not be stated unless important. Example: Measles (disease causing death), 29 ds .; Bronchopneumonia (sccondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symptoms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col- lapsc,""Coma,""Convulsions," "Dehility" ("Congenital,""Senile," etc.), "Dropsy,""Exhaustion,""Heart failure,""Hemorrhage,""Ina- nition," "Marasmus," "Old age," "Shock," "Urcmia,""Weakness," etc., when a definito disease can he ascertained as the cause.
