What reading level is Maladies Remedies And Physicians of Colonial Days in Burlington County And Oth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The human body was supposed to be under the influence of the sun, moon, planets, and zodiacal signs. So also the various plants and herbs. Thus the dandelion belonged to Jupiter; daisies were herbs of Venus; the peony was an herb of the sun and underthe Lion; hops belonged to Mars and so on. Only since medicine has been emancipated from this superstition has it been entitled to the name of science. Even yet how- ever a vestige of Astrology remains. The letter R with a line across the tail that ...heads the doctor's prescription is a variant form of the old astrological sign for Jupiter.
The entire kingdom of nature was ransacked for remedial agents, many of which are entirely inert and some could only have been selected for there superlative nastiness. Sir Theo- dore Mayerne who died in 1655, was an eminent physician. For hypochondriacal affections he recommended as an ungu- ent, his "Balsam of Bats" composed of snakes, bats, sucking whelps, earth worms, hog's grease and the thigh bone of an ox.
