RULES OF PRACTICE
The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calls for the observ- ance of the following rules of practice :
(1) Altending physicians will certify to sueh deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last ill- ness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.
(2) Board of Health physicians will certify to such deatbs only as those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease un- related to any form of injury, have died witbout recent medical attendance or whose physician is absent from bome when the certificate of death Is needed.
(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths supposabiy due to injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or indirectly by traumatism (including resulting septice- mia), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deatbs from disease resulting from injury or infection related to occupa- tion, tbe sndden deaths of persons not disabied 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 failure, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal cause name the disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid con- ditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important complication of the principal cause.
Statement of Ocenpation .- Precise statement of occupation is very important, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursults 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 busl- ness, report the usual occupation prior to retirement. Children not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a womani whose only occupation was that of home bousework, write housework. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate tbe occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person wbo bad no occupation whatever write none.

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 as required hy section one, where same was contracted, the duration of his last illness, when last seen alive hy the physician or officer and the date of his death . . . Gen. Laws, Chap. 46, Sec. 9.
No undertaker or other person shall hury or otherwise dispose of a human hody in a town, or remove therefrom a liuman hody which has not been huried, 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 exhume a human hody and remove it from a town, from one cemetery to another, or from one grave or toinb other than the receiv- ing tomh to another in the same cemetery, 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.

If there is no attending physician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is In- sufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health, or em- ployed hy 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. If such a permit for the removal of a human body, not previously Interred, from one town to another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of the undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such removal; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was removed within thirty-slx hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual form for the re- moval of such body has heen sooner obtained hereunder.
