To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Just as the native children in Africa form the source of the supply of the malarial parasite with- out appearing to suffer much, so the big game of the country abound in Trypanosoma without appearing to be any the worse. They are, in Lankester's phrase, 'tolerant' of the parasite, and a harmony between them and the parasite has been established, so that both live together without hurting one another.
Under a more natural condition of things than at present obtains in South Africa, the big game
...formed the natural prey of the tsetse; and, indeed, so dependent is the fly on the antelopes, etc., that, in places where the game has been exterminated, the fly has also disappeared. It is from the big game that Digitized by Google SLEEPING-SICKNESS 169 the disease has spread. In their bodies the harmful effect of the parasite has through countless genera- tions become attenuated, but it leaps into full activity again as soon as the Trypanosoma wins its way into the body of any introduced cattle, horse, or domesti- cated animal.
