For neglect to comply with any provision of this section, such physician or officer shall forfeit ten dollars. For the purposes of this section and of sections forty-five. forty-six and forty-seven of said chapter one hundred and fourteen, the word "; war" shall include the China relief expedition and the Philippine insurrection, which shall, for said purposes, be deemed to have taken place between February fourteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight and July fourth, nineteen hundred and two, and the Mexican border service of nineteen hundred and sixteen and nineteen hundred and seventeen. G. L. Chap. 46, Sec. 10.


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 perniit 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 body and remove it from a town, from one cemetery to another, or froni one grave or tomb other than the receiving tomb to another in the same cemetery, until he has received a permit fron the board of health or its agent aforesaid or from the clerk of the town where the body is buried. No such perinit shall be issued until there shall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case niay be, a satisfactory written statement containing the facts required by law to be returned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original inter- ment, 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 sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early enough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board of health, or employed by it or by the selectnien for the purpose, xhall 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 perinit 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 mnade as above provided and in the possession of the undertaker desiring to niake 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-six hours after such removal, unless a perniit in the usual form for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained bereunder.

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


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 tosuch 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 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 fron 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.


Statement of Cause of Death .- Cause of death means the disease, or coniplication which causes death, not the mode of dying, e.g., heart failure, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal ennse name the disease causing death. As related causes, naine earlier morbid conditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important coniplication of the principal cause.


Statement of Occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very int- portant, 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 enusing 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 eniployed 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 none.
