Heart Failure.
IOeN Z . II 10 VI g
70 the Editor of the PRESS:

To the Editor of the PRESS:
In your issue of this morning you pub
lished the report TO our legislature of the
committee on legal affairs in re Health
Laws" Without commenting upon
other portions of the proposed law, allow
me to approve of one clause of section
49," which reads as follows:
1t is further provided that certificate
of death giving heart failure as the only
cause of death shall not he deemed sssuffi-
Gent upon which to issue burial per-
NIT and such certificate must be returned
to the physician who made it for the
proper correction and definition.
For physician to certify that man
has died of "heart failure" is as 1nane
and meaningless as for him to certify
that the man had died for want of
BREATH"
The provisions for recording the caus-
es of deaths among our people are most
valuable to our citizens and to their
physicians, but to allow a physician to
perform his duty to the State by simply
certifying that a man has died because
his heart ceased beating is an absurdity.
If the physician does not know what
caused his PATIENTS death let him say
so. If he does know let him also say
that, and not hide his ignorance under
the 6imsy shield of Heart Failure" OF
Act of God" S.
