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., Former or Plonter, Physicion, Compositor, Architect, Locomotive engineer, Civilengineer, Stationary fireman, etc. But in many cases, especially in industrial employments, it is necessary to know (0) 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; (o) Forcmon, (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 loborer, Laborer - Coal mine, ete. Women at home, who aro 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 spe- cifically the occupations of persons engaged in domestic service for wages, as Servont, 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 yrs.). For persons who have no occupation whatever, write None.


Statement of cause of death. - Name, first, the DISEASE CAUSING DEATHI (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always tho same accepted term for the same disease. Examples: Cere- brospinol fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneumonio; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unqualified, is indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, men- inges, peritoneum, otc., Carcinoma, Sarcoma, etc., of ...... ... (name origin; "Cancer" is less definite; avoid use of "Tumor" for malignant neoplasms); Measles; Whooping cough; Chronic volvulor heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, etc. The contributory (secondary or inter- current) affection need not be stated unless important. Example: Meosles (disease causing death), 29 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,""Heart failure,""Hemorrhage,""Ina- nition," "Marasmus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia,""Weakness," etc., when a definite disease can be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all diseases resulting from childbirth or miscarriage, as "PUER- PERAL scpticemio," "PUERPERAL peritonitis," etc.


State cause for which surgical operation was undertaken.


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


Bronchopneumonia: If primary cause, write the word "pri- mary" ; if secondary, give primary cause.


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- riage, necrosis, peritonitis, phlebitis, pyemla, septicemia, tetanus.
