Statement of occupation. - Precise statement of occupa- tion is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. The question applics to each and every person, irrespective of age. For inany occupations a single word or term on the first line will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Compos- ilor, 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. Ncvcr return "Laborer, "Foreman," "Manager," "Dcalcr," etc., without more precise specification, as Day laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer -Coal minc, etc. Women at home, who are engaged in the dutics of the household only (not paid Housekeepers who receive a definite salary), may be entered as Housewife, Houscwork, or At home, and children, not gainfully employed, as At school or At homc. Care should be taken to report spe- eifically the occupations of persons engaged in doincstic service for wages, as Servant, Cook, Housemaid, etc. If the occupation has been changed or given up on account of the DISEASE CAUSING DEATII, state occupation at beginning of illness. If retired from business, that fact may be indi- catcd 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 diseasc. Examples: Cerebrospinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidcinic cerebrospinal nienin- 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- toneum, 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 (sccondary or inter-


current) affection need not be stated unless important. Example: Measles (discase causing death), 29 ds .; Broncho- pneumonia (secondary), 10 ds. Never report mere symp- toms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col-


lapsc," "Coma," "Convulsions,"""Debility"


("Con-


genital," "Senile," etc.), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Hemorrhage," "Inanition," "Maras- ItIs," "Old age," "Shock,"" "Uremia," "Weakness," etc., when a definite discase can be ascertaincd as the cause. Always qualify all discases 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, and consequences (e. g., sepsis, tetanus) may be stated


on statement of cause of death approved by Committee on Nomenclature of the American Medical Association.)


Cases 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, ctc.


2. Deaths supposedly caused by violence, as Criminal abortion, Poisoning, Starvation, Suffocation, Exposure, etc.


3. Sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized discase, as A death upon the street, or onc supposed to be duc to Alcoholism, etc.

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 helief the name of the deceased, his supposed age, the disease of which he died [defined so that it can he classified under the international classification of causes of death], where contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive hy 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 hody . . . 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 clerk, . . . a satisfactory written statement con- taining the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which ... shall he accompanied hy a satisfactory certificate of the at- tending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a certifi- cate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtainsd 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 the physician who certifies to the cause of death shall thereafter furnish 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 he, with the cause and manner of his death, and shall make examination upon the view of the dead hodies of only such persons as are supposed to have come to their death by violence. - Reviscd Laws, Chap. 24, Sec. 8.


RULES OF PRACTICE


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


(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as thoss of persons to whom they have given hedside 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 disahled by recognizsd disease unrelated to any form of injury, have dicd 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 hy ths action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following ahortion, 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 persons found dead.
