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, irre- spective of age. For many occupations a single word or term on the first line will be sufficient, e. g., Farmer or Planter, Physician, Com- positor, Architeet, Locomotive engineer, Civil engineer, Stationary fire- man, 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 second statement. Never return "Laborer," "Fore- man," "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 household only (not paid Housekeepers who receive a definite salary), may be entered as House- wife, Housework, or At home, and children, not gainfully employed, as At school or At home. Care should be taken to report specifically 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 occupa- tion 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. Exam- ples: Cerebrospinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis"); Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup"); Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia"); Lobar pneu- monia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneumonia," unqualified, is indefinite); Tuberculosis of lungs, meninges, peritoneum, 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; Chronie interstitial nephritis, etc. The contributory (secondary or intercurrent) affection need not be 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 symp- tomatic), "Atrophy," "Collapse," "Coma," "Convulsions," "Debility" ("Congenital," "Senile," ctc.), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Hemorrhage," "Inanition," "Marasmus," "Old age," "Shock," "Uremia," "Weakness," etc., when a definite disease ean be ascertained as the cause. Always qualify all discases resulting from childhirth or miscarriage, as "PUERPERAL 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.)

Bronchopneumonla: If primary cause, write the word "primary"; 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, menin- gitis, miscarriage, necrosis, peritonitis, phlebitis, pyemia, septicemia, tetanus.

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

A physician or registered hospital medical officer 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 stand- ard 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 as required by section one, where same was contracted, the du- ration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician or officer and the date of his death ....- Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.

No undertaker or other person shall hury a human body .. until he has received a perniit from the board of health or its agent. . or. from the clerk of the town where 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, in case of an original interment, by a satis- factory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thercof a certificate as hereinafter provided.

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 disahled by recognized discase unrelated to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physician is ahsent 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 poison), 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.
