REVISED UNITED STATES STANDARD CERTIFICATE OF DEATH

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

Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of occupation 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 singlo word or term on the first line will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Compositor, Architect, Locomotive engineer, Civilengineer, Stationary fireman, cte. But in many cases, especially in industrial employments, it is necessary to know (a) tho 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) Forcman, (b) Automobile factory. The material worked on may form part of the second statement. Never return "Laborer," "Foreman," "Manager," "Dcaler," etc., without more precise specification, as Day laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer - Cocl mine, etc. Women at home, who aro engaged in the duties of the house- hold only (not paid Ilousckeepers who receive a definite salary), may be entered as Housewife, Hlouscwork, 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 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 DEATH (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always the same accepted term for the same disease. Examples: Cere- brospinal fever (tho 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}: Mcasles; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic interstitial nephritis, etc. The contributory (secondary or inter- current) affection need not bo stated unless important. Example: Measles (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 definito disease can be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all diseases 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- 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 disoases, without explanation, as the sole cause of death: Abortion, cellulitis, childbirth, convulsions, hemorrhage, gangrene, gastritis, erysipelas, meningitis, miscar- riage, 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 otlier 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. . . . - Reviscd 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 dicd; . . . no such permit shall be issued until there shall havo been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, . . . 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- cato as hereinafter 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 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. . . . The person to whom the per- mit is so given and tho 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, Scc. 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 mako 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 discase 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 tho 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 infoction related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.

CAUSE OF DEATH in plain terms, so that it may be properly classified. Exact statement of OCCUPATION is very N. B. - Every item of information should be carefully supplied. AGE should be stated EXACTLY. PHYSICIANS should state important. See Instructions on back of certificate.
