What reading level is A Dictionary of Medicine Designed for Popular Use Containing An Account of Dis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is brought on by sud- den and violent emotions of the mind; jealousy, anger, love, pride, joy, disap- pointment ; though it is remarkable, that an unexpected flow of prosperity, or a sudden communication of joyful intelli- gence, is more frequently known to up- set the mind than the reception of disas- trous news. Madness is often the sequel of frequent intoxication, of violent ex- ercise, of the sudden drying up of accus- tomed drains or evacuation from the bo- dy. The injudicious use of me...rcury, and the occurrence of some febrile diseases, has been known to excite madness ; and some circumstances in parturition, though we cannot say in what constitutions these circumstances occur, seem to give rise to madness; but sometimes this last spe- cies, though it lasts very long, is at last got the better of.
Treatment. In the early and furious stage of madness, something is to be at- tempted by medical means, to allay the violent excitement. The head is to be shaved, and cold applied, either by pour- ing on cold water and vinegar, by laying on wet cloths, or, as has been sometimes done, a clay cap.
