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 descriptio. 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 sup- posed 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 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.

Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of occupation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Tho 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. Butin 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 material 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 house- hold only (not paid Ilousekeepers 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 persens engaged in domestic service for wages, as Servant, Cook, Housemaid, etc. If the occupatiou 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 havo no occupation whatever, write Nonc.

Statement of cause of death. - Name, first, the DISEASE CAUSING DEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always the sanie 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; "Canecr" 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) affectiou necd not be stated unless important. Example: Measles (disease causing death), 99 ds .; Bronchopneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symptoms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col- lapse,""Coma,""Convulsions,""Debility" ("Congenital,""Senile," etc.), "Dropsy,""Exhaustion,""Ileart failure,""Hemorrhage,""Ina- uition," "Marasmus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia,""Weakness," etc., when a definite disease can be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all discases resulting from childbirth or miscarriage, as "PUER- PERAL septicemia, " "PUERPERAL peritonitis," etc.

State cause for which surgical operation was undertaken.

(Recommendations on statement of cause of death approved by Com- mittce on Nomenclature of the American Medical Association.)

Certificates will be returned for additional information which give any of the following diseases, without explanation, as the sole cause of death: Abortion, cellulitis, childbirth, convulsions, hemorrhage, gangrene, gastritis, erysipelas, meningitis, miscar- rlage, necrosis, peritonitis, phlebitis, pyemia, septicemia, tetanus.

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

A physician shall 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, Sees. 10 and 1, as amended by Aets of 1910, Chap. 322.

If there is no attending physiclan, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, cr is insufficient, the chairman of the board of health, if a physician, or any physician employed by said board or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall 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. . ..

RULES OF PRACTICE

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

Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of occupation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known.

As examples: (a) Spinner, (b) Cotton mill; (0) Salesman, (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 Doy laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer - Cool mine, etc. Women at home, who are engaged in the duties of the house- hold 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 spc- 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 indicated thus: Farmer (retired, 6 yTs.). For persons who have no occupation whatever, write None.
