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, Civil engineer, Stationary fireman, etc. But in many cases, es- pecially 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 ex- amples : (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 re- turn "Laborer," "Foreman," "Manager," "Dealer," etc., with- out 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 Housewife, House- work, 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 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 Caus- ing Death (the primary affection with respect to time and causation), using always the same accepted term for the same disease. Examples : Cerebrospinal fever (the only definite synonym is "Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis") ; Diphtheria (avoid use of "Croup") ; Typhoid fever (never report "Typhoid pneumonia") ; Lobar pneumonia; Bronchopneumonia ("Pneu- monia," 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) ; Measles; Whooping cough; Chronic valvular heart disease; Chronic 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 "Asthe- nia," "Anemia" (merely symptomatic), "Atrophy," "Collapse," "'Coma,' "Convulsions," "Debility" ("Congenital," "Senile." etc. ), "Dropsy," "Exhaustion," "Heart failure," "Hemorrhage," "Inanition," n "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 "PUERPERAL septicemia," "PUERPERAL peri- tonitis," etc.

State cause for which surgical operation was undertaken.

(Recommendations on statement of cause of death approved by Committee on Nomenclature of the American Medical Associa- tion. )

Bronchopneumonia: 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, meningitis, mis- carriage, necrosis, peritonitis, phlebitis, pyemia, septicemia, tetanus.

EXTRACTS

FROM THE LAWS OF THE

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS

GOVERNING THE

RETURN OF CERTIFICATES OF DEATH

A physician or registered hospital medical officer shall forth- with, 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 de- ceased, 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 as required by section one, where same was contracted, the dura- tion 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 bury or otherwise dispose of a human body in a town, or remove therefrom a human body which has not been buried, until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the person died; and no undertaker or other person shall ex- hume a human body and remove it from a town, or from one cemetery to another, until he has received a permit from the board of health or its agent aforesaid or from the clerk of the town where the body is buried. No such permit shall be issued until there shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be, a satisfactory written statement con- taining the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original interment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as required by law, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending physician, or if, for suffi- cient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a mem- ber of the board of health, or employed by it or by the select- men for the purpose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is caused by vio- lence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If the death certificate contains a recital, as required by section ten of chapter forty-six, that the deceased served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States in any war in which it has been engaged, such recital shall appear upon the permit. The board of health or its agent, upon receipt of such state- ment and certificate, shall forthwith countersign it and trans- mit it to the clerk of the town for registration. The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying 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 .- Chap. 114, Sec. 45, G. L., as amended.

Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence .- Gen. Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.

No undertaker or other person shall bury a human body or the ashes thereof which have been brought into the common- wealth until he has received a permit so to do from the board of health or its agent appointed to issue such permits, or if there is no such board, from the clerk of the town where the body is to be buried or the funeral is to be held, or from a person appointed to have the care of the cemetery or burial ground in which the interment is made .- Chap. 114, Sec. 46.

EXTRACTS

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 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 inter- national classification of causes of death), where same was contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive by the physician or officer and the date of his death. . . . - General Laws, Chapter 46, Section 9.

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 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 containing the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied . . . by a satis- factory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as re- quired by law, or in lieu thereof a certificate 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, a phy- sician who is a member of the board of health, or em- ployed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is caused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate . . The person to whom the permit is so given and the physician certifying the cause of death shall thereafter furnish for regis- tration 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. - General Laws, Chap: 114, Sec. 45.

Medical examiners shall make examination upon the view of the dead bodies of only such persons as are supposed to have died by violence. If a medical examiner has notice that there is within his county the body of such a person, he

shall forthwith go to the place where the body lies and take charge of the same. . . . Gen. Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 6.

. . . He shall in all casos certify to the town clerk or regis- trar in the place where the deceased died his name and resi- dence, if known; otherwise a description as full as may be, with the cause and manner of death. - General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 7.

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 discase 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 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 poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from in- jury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.

STATEMENT OF CAUSE OF DEATH

Medical Examiners in certifying to a death will state the cause and manner thereof, and will specify: (1) Under cause, the nature of an injury and of its consequences; and (2) under manner. the mode of its production together with the circumstances when these are known. For example: "Compound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gas bacillus) caused by a steam railway accident." "Pistol shot wound of the chest with associated hemorrhage, homi- cidal." " Asphyxiation by suspension, suicidal." "Syn- cope while under the influence of ether administered as a surgical anæsthetic." "Fracture of the skull with associated internal injury sustained under circumstances unknown."

If investigation shows the death to have been due to dis- ease, specify: (1) Under cause, its known or presumable nature; and (2) under manner, indicate the circumstances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example: "Hemorrhage spontaneous, of the brain (basal ganglia) (found dead in bed)." "Heart disease, presumably coronary sclerosis. (Sudden death.)"

DESCRIPTION (for unknown person)

NOTICE TO UNDERTAKERS: No embalming fluid, or any substitute therefor, shall be injected into the body of any person supposed to have met his death by violence, until a permit, signed by the Medical Examiner, has first been obtained. - General Laws, Chap. 38, Sect. 14.
