(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 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 infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.

REVISED UNITED STATES STANDARD 'CERTIFICATE OF DEATH
[Approved by U. S. Census and American Public Health Association]
Statement of occupation. - Preciso statement of occupation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be kuown. The question applies to each and every person, irrespective of age. For many occupations a single word or term on tho first lino will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Compositor, Architect, Locomotive engineer, Civilengineer, 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 naturo of the business or industry, and therefore an additional line is provided for the latter statement; it should bo 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," "Mauager," "Dcaler," etc., without moro precise specification, as Day laborer, Farm laborer, Laborer - Coal mine, etc. Women at honio, who are engaged in the duties of the house- hold only (not paid Iousckcepers 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 tho 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 (rctired, 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 the same accepted term for the same disease. 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 ("Pneuinonia," unqualified, is indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, men- inges, peritoncum, etc., Carcinoma, Sarcoma, etc., of ...... .... (name origin; "Cancer" is less definite; avoid use of "Tumor" for malignant neoplasms); Mcaslcs; 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 (secoudary), 10 ds. Never report mere symptoms or terminal conditions, such as "Asthenia," "Anemia" (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Col- lapse,""Comna,""Convulsions,""Debility" ("Congenital,""Senile," etc.), "Dropsy,""Exhaustion,""IIcart failuro,""Hemorrhage,""Ina- nition," "Marasmus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia,""Weakness," etc., when a definito disease can bo 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- mittco ou 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 solo cause of death: Abortion, collulitis, childbirth, convulsions, hemorrhage, gangrene, gastritis, erysipelas, meningitis, miscar- riage, necrosis, peritonitis, phlebitis, pyemia, septicemia, tetanus.

[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 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. 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 material worked on may form part of the sccond statement. Never return "Laborer," "Foreman," "Manager," "Dealer," etc., 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 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 Servant, Cook, Housemaid, etc. If the occupation has been changed or given up on account of the nisEASE 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.
