What reading level is Occasional Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^sculapius was the mythological god of the art of healing, and it is represented that the sick were carried to his temples to be cured by ablutions, prayers and sacrifices. Indeed, in many countries, in the olden time, medicine was a mere appendage of religion, and a minor office of the priesthood was to heal the sick by prayers, incantations and other mystical rites and cere- monies ; but time and experience gradually dispelled these delusions, and led inquiry to more reasonable and practical ...methods of treating the diseases of the human system. Hippocrates, who lived before the Christian era, and who is called the father of medicine, is entitled to the credit of evolving from the religious mummeries of his day the doctrine that the maladies of the human family and their treatment were subject to natural laws, and not to supernatural agencies. His theory was that there were four humors in the human body, blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile, and that an undue predominance of one of these was the proximate cause of sickness ; and his labor and skill were devoted to the support of this theory : but he was ignorant of the dif- ference between veins and arteries, nerves, tendons and ligaments, and of the anatomical structure of the human system.
