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

No such permit shall be issued until there hall have been delivered to such board, agent or clerk, as the case may be. satisfactory written statement containing the facts required by law to be turned and recorded, which shall be accompanied, in case of an original inter- ent, by a satisfactory certificate of the attending physician. if any, as required by w, or in lieu thereof a certificate as hereinafter provided. If there is no attending hysician, or if, for sufficient reasons, his certificate cannot be obtained early nough for the purpose, or is insufficient, a physician who is a member of the board f health, or employed by it or by the selectmen for the purpose, shall upon pplication make the certificate required of the attending physician. If death is aused by violence, the medical examiner shall make such certificate. If such a ermit for the removal of a human body, not previously interred, from one town another within the commonwealth cannot be obtained early enough for the urpose, the certificate of death made as above provided and in the possession of ne undertaker desiring to make such removal shall constitute a permit for such moval; provided, that such body shall be returned to the town from which it was moved within thirty-six hours after such removal, unless a permit in the usual rm for the removal of such body has been sooner obtained hereunder.

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 follow- ing 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 deathsonly 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 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.
Statement of Cause of Death .- Physicians: see explanatory instructions on face side of standard certificate of death.
Statement of Occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very import- ant, 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 occupa- tion had been given up or changed, or if the deceased had retired from business, report the kind of work done during most of working life even if retired. 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. 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.
