What reading level is The Science And Practice of Medicine 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all the English wars (for "typhus fever is a disease as old as the disputes of nations ") there has always been plenty of typhus poison waiting for favourable conditions to assume activity. This arose from the peculiar system of recruiting. Commissions or commands of regiments were wont to be given to those who collected a certain number of men. Every low purlieu, every infamous haunt, every jail even, used to be ransacked for recruits. Wherever these men went they carried typhus, at that ti...me the constant scourge of our towns and our jails; and complaints of the introduction of typhus fever from this source are frequently found in the writings of army surgeons of the last century. In connection with this point, Dr. Donald Munro, in 1764?, gives the following caution: — "That particular regard be paid to those soldiers picked up in the streets, or who have been taken out of the Savoy or other jails. All dirty rags from such people should be thrown away or burnt," (Dr. Parkes, L c.) There is now ample proof that typhus fever may be communicated by fomites adhering to apartments, articles of clothing, and the like; and, provided fresh air be excluded, it is known that such articles will retain the poison for a very long time.
