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

By the not too frequent absorp- tion of such small doses the defensive forces are encouraged to attack, and in this way a large proportion of mankind is cured of tuber- culosis without ever having any knowledge that the disease has been contracted. If a large dose of poison is absorbed, the effects are very different. This is especially so when the defensive forces have been weakened by disease or want of nourishment. A large dose of the poison 'paralyses the capacity of the body to produce the... necessary antidote. The defensive forces, instead of attacking, run 39 The Conquest of Consumption away. Consequently the bacilli are left un- disturbed, the local process extends, and poison is freely absorbed, producing high fever and the symptoms which unfortunately are so well known. It follows that it is of the first importance, if we are to effect a cure, that we should have some means of regulatmg the absorption, into the general circulation, of the poison manufactured by the tubercle bacilli.
