To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These stand in the relation of cause and ef- fect, no spirit being formed until these plants are produced, and which nourish themselves at the expense of some organic prin- •ciple, causing thereby the alcohol to be set free. The Torulct cerevisia, or yeast plant, consists of a number of small vesicles strung together in a moniliform or necklace-manner, one to the other. By the time that five or six vesicles are strung* together, the fermentation is sufficiently advanced, and the manufacturer ch...ecks it. The vegetation is then suspended, and the groups of vesicles separate into individuals, the mass of which thus con- stitutes the yeast. The same kind of plant is developed by the acetous fermentation ; and when paste turns sour, a small my co- derm, very closely resembling, if not perfectly identical, is found. It is a curious fact, that the plant which is found in tinea, or scald-head, is so very like the yeast plant, that little or no differ- ence is apparent, save that the vesicles of which it is composed are a little larger ; but the wonder ceases when we reflect that all vegetable growths composed of small rounded cells strung together must necessarily in a great degree resemble each other.
