What reading level is The Road to a Healthy Old Age book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In a normal state the heart is a very busy organ.
It has to contract and dilate about seventy times a minute, and that whether we sleep or wake.
Sir Lauder Brunton, in his " Therapeutics of the Circulation," says: " We are sometimes accustomed to speak of this ' unresting organ,' but this is a total mistake. The heart, in an adult, rests more than thirteen hours out of the twenty-four, the time of rest being the diastole, and the time of work being the systole or contraction. We may say, then, ...that the heart practically sleeps more than the brain or body; but the great distinction between the sleep of the heart and that of the brain is that the sleep is for so short a time. There are very few healthy men who could not walk a thousand miles in six weeks, walking a little over eight hours a day and resting for the remainder of the period ; but there are not many men who can emulate the feat of Captain Barclay, of walking a thousand miles in a PREMATURE SENILITY 107 thousand consecutive hours, because the fre- quent interruptions to their sleep would exhaust them completely.
