What reading level is The Non-Heredity of Inebriety book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
INEBRIETY means a lesioii of the nerve centres of a peculiar character, and, perhaps, of the cells and nuclei of other tissues, which is caused by- alcohol. The symptoms caused by this lesion are a craving for alcoholic drink, which is periodical in character and which leads to times of drunkenness, followed by seasons of total abstinence and sobriety.
I regard the period of sobriety as a part of the dis- ease, or as a symptom of the disease.
The lesion of the tissue cells and nuclei is the imm...ediate and direct effect of alcoholic poisoning.
It is true that there are further and remote lesions due to alcoholic poisoning, as various degenera- tions of organic nature, of nerve centres, nerves, and other organs ; but these lesions form no part of the craving for drink, or the inebriety. The craving is due to the law that a poisoned tissue demands more of the poison, or its continued or periodical presence.
The lesion of inebriety is not demonstrable by microscopic tests or examination. The remote lesions, or the alcoholic degenerations, are verifiable by the microscope.
