ï~~ MORTALITY DETAILED FROM INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF CAUSES OF DEATH Notice to the Medical Profession The atltention of the prpfession is called to three additional charts in OTr monthly bulletin,: One-referring to contagious diseases, tabulated as to the different wardis7 the second, the number of deaths reported, tabulated as to wards, and the third, showing the number of births reported, tabulated as to.wards. In this connection, I am again obliged to emphasize the importance of promptly reporting births to this of ce, properly filling out death certificates, and the prompt reporting of contagious diseases. Our physicians have been very derelict in this regar~d. As you may know, we are obliged to report these statistics to the State Board of Health and are blamed for any errors on your part. It has become necessary, on account of carelessness oui'the part of the,physlciaain these matters, for us to start a campaign of arresats for non-reporting of any 'of these three items. Roping that the additional charts will prove of interest, I am, Fraternally yours, GUSTAV A. BENZ, M.
