The Importance of securing burial per.
NIT from the health officer of the town pre-
vious to the interment of the dead seems to
be very imperfectly understood in some OF
our country towns. The physician in charge
must give a certificate of death within
thirty-six hours after the decease of his pa
tent, or be subject to fine, and a burial
permit must be obtained from the health
officer of the town before interment can be
made. A funeral was delayed in this town
recently and much trouble was caused by
the failure of the physician to meet the
above requirement in due season.
