What reading level is Uric Acid: An Epitome of the Subject book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


I very soon found that my observation with regard to the excretion of urine in the uric acid headache was but one in- stance of a general law, that in every one the urine tends to be scanty in the morning hours because there is more uric acid in the blood, and profuse in the night 74 URIC ACID hours because there is less, and that just as I can control the excretion of water from the lungs, so I can absolutely control the excretion of water from the kidneys ; which is done merely by controlling
... the amount of uric acid in the blood, and con- sequently by bringing about the presence or absence of more or less obstruction in the capillaries of the kidneys. It must be fairly obvious that what I have said of the excess of uric acid in the blood and its excessive passage from the kidneys accounts for all the phenomena of the chief forms of gravel and calculus. Of albuminuria, glycosuria, cystinuria, I have nothing to say here, for they are not diseases of the kidney, but diseases of general metabolism and combustion ; and in so far as the structure of the kidneys eventually becomes diseased and degene- rated in these conditions, this is the mere result of the passage of the foreign albumen, or the excess of sugar through the urinary passages.
