What reading level is The History of Medicine in Its Salient Features book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" No symptoms of brain abscess had been observed before the occur- rence of a diseased condition of the ear.
PATHOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY 187 Hydrophobia, in Morgagni's opinion, is caused by a virus insinuated into the body. " Whoever, therefore, professes to have found out the nature of this disorder, must demonstrate the nature of this poison. But I do not even see that the seat of this disorder is confirmed. " He mentions, however, one case of hydrophobia in which the vessels in the meninges were... extremely distended with blood. Tetanus was observed by Morgagni to result from apparently trivial injuries, such as the bite of a tame sparrow, or splinters driven into the hand. In one of the cases of tetanus he records, "A cart-wheel passed over the lower part of the left heel of a youth seventeen years of age; but no other injury was apparent except laceration of the common integu- ments. " The first seat of a virulent gonorrhoea, he asserts, is in the larger canaliculi of the urethra. The term "Morgagni's fossa" (fossa navicularis urethrse) and many similar terms preserve his memory as a careful anatomist.
