No such permit shall be issued until there shall have been de- livered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be, a satisfac- tory written statement containing the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied. in case of ati original interment, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician, if any, as regulred by law, or in lieu thereof a certlacate 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 irsufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health. or employed hy it or by the selectmen for the pur- pose, shall upon application make the certificate required of the at- tending physician.

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 recltal shall appear upon the permit. The board of health, or its agent, upon receipt of such statement and certificate, shall forthwith countersign it and transmit it to the clerk of the town for registration.

Chap. 114, Sec. 46, G. L., (Tercentenary Edition)


RULES OF PRACTICE


The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observ- ance of the following rules of practice :


(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as these of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last Il1- ness 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 attendance or whose physiclan 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 septice- inla). and by the action of chemical (drugs or polsons). thermal. or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disenso resulting from injury or infection related to occupa- tion, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.


Statement of Cause of Death .- Cause of death means the disease, or complication which causes death, not the mode of dying, e. g., heart fallurc, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal cause namc the disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid con- ditions, if any, related to the principal eauss and any important complication of the principal cause.


Statement of Occupatien .- Precise statement of occupatlon 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 usual occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from busi- ness, report the usual occupation prior to retirement. Children not galnfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman whose only occupation was that of home housework, write housework. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however. designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupation whatever write nons.
