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 deatha 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 physlolans will certify to such deaths only as those of persons who, though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any form of Injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose phys- cian is ahsent from home when the certificate of death Is needed.


(8) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup- posably due to injury. These include not only desthe caused directly or in- directly by traumatiam (including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, aml deaths following shortion, but also deaths from diseass resulting from injury or Infection relsted to ocoupatlon, 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 causea death. not the moile 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.


Statement of Oooupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very Im- portant, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make some entry in this section for every persou aged 10 years or over. If the occupation had been given up or changed on account of the discase causing death. report the usual occupation prior to Illness. If the deceased had retired from business, report the usual occupation prior to retirement. Children not gainfully employed may be returned aa at school or at hoine. For a woman wbose only occupatiou waa that of home housework, write bousework. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation by the appropriate terms, as housekeeper-private faniily, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupation whatever write none.
