To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is sometimes really surprising to observe as a consequence of this measure the rapid and complete restoration to health from a state of extreme emaciation. In certain cases the breast-milk, either of the mother or wet- nurse, disagrees with the infant, and its use aggravates the intes- tinal disease. In the country, or in the city in the cool months, weaning may be proper under such circumstances. Certainly weaning or the employment of another wet-nurse is required. In the city in the summer... months, for reasons elsewhere fully stated, weaning is a very injudicious if not fatal measure, and, if the entero-colitis is aggravated by the character of the mother's milk, a wet-nurse should be engaged. If the breast-milk is susjDected as the cause or one cause of the infant's sickness, it should be examined by the microscope, before a change in diet or in nursing is recommended. It has been ascertained by the microscoj)e, that the elements of colostrum which have a purgative effect may return at any period of lactation.
