BIRTHS AND DEATHS
PHYSICIANS TOO CARELESS IN MAIx-
ING THEIR RETURNS.
Health Department Preparing for "a
General Spring Cleaning of the
City-Municipal Notes.

The Board of Health will issue instruc-
tions to physicians asking that more care
be taken with the filing of death and birth
return blanks. Occasionally blank is re-
turned which it is impossible to decipher.
Frequently physicians file returns which
are not made out in full. The law requires
that a physician shall fill out the blanks
in detail. giving the name, age. cause,
and other particulars regarding the death
and the name and age of parents with
residence in case of a, birth. One return
was made last week, in the case or
death, where the physician merely gave
the last name of the deceased without
giving the cause. residence or age. Some
doctors write out their returns so care
lessly that it requires a great deal OF time
to make out their meaning. 1t is said that
a large per cent. of the records are incor-
rect owing to the carelessness OF pnysi-
clans.
Many physicians would probably object
to having returns which they make pub
Iished. For instance, a well-known doctor
last week had patient dying of "cabilary
bronketous.' He no doubt meant capillary
bronchitis, but it took clerk Barnard some
time to make out what was meant. The
doctor is we'll educated and the return was
either made out by him carelessly or made
out by an assistant. Another physician
had a patient dying of 'abces of stomic."
Another said a child died of 'menengitus."
In the returns last week for births, one
child was said to be a mail, another
was said to be ''wthe' and another was
said 10 be the "seckond' of the mother.
but such mistakes as these are easily
remedied. The mistakes on such words is
proper names There are no rules govern
ing the spelling of proper names and often
time the clerk has TO guess at the meaning
of the physician making the return. Clerk
Barnard is drawing up a circular, which
he will submit to the board, in which physi-
cans are requested to take more care in
making death and birth returns.
