RULES OF PRACTICE
The fulfillment 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 disabled by recognized disease un- related to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attend- ance 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 injury or infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.

Standard Certificate of Death
Statement of occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make some entry in this section for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupation had been given up or changed on account of the disease causing death, report the occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from business, report the occupation prior to retirement. Children not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman whose only occupation was that of home housework, write housework in answer to Question 8 and own home in answer to Question 9. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private
To be complete, an occupation return must state:
8 .- The trade, profession, or particular kind of work done.
9 .- The industry or business in which the work was done.
10 .- The month and year the deceased last worked at the occupation.
11 .- The number of years the deceased followed the occupation.
In stating the occupation, avoid the use of such indefinite terms as "employee," "worker," "operative," etc. Find out the parti- cular kind of work done and return that, as spinner. weaver, etc.
In stating the industry or business, avoid the use of such general terms as "store, "'factory,
'mili. ", etc. State the particular kind of store, factory, mill, etc., as grocery store, soap factory, cotton mill, etc.
Distinguish carefully the different kinds of engineers by stating the full descriptive titles, as civil engineer, mechanical engineer, mining engineer, stationary engineer, etc. Avoid the term "laborer" when a more precise statement of the occupation can be secured. Do not use the word "mechanic, " but give the exact occupation, as carpenter, painter, machinist, etc. Distinguish carefully between retail merchants and wholesale merchants. A person who sells goods should be called a salesman and not a clerk.
Statement of cause of death .- Cause of death means the disease, or complication which causes death, not the mode of dying, e. g., heart failure, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal cause name the disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid conditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important complication of the principal cause. Under contributory causes of importance not related to principal cause, name other important diseases.
Example
The principal cause of death and related causes of importance in order of onset were as follows:
Date of onset
Arteriosclerosis
10IS
Chronic interstitial nephritis
1021
Cerebral hemorrhage
July 5, 1927
Contributory causes of importance not related to principal cause:
In a group of causes containing the principal cause and related Causes, the causes should be given in the order of onset, so that in a group of three causes the principal cause may appear in either first. second, or third position. The principal cause in the above example happens to be the second cause given.
