What reading level is War Time Nerves book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She is sent to the best physicians, who go over her with care. They find no organic disease. They advise a change of air, diet, a companion. They assure the parents and the girl that there is nothing the matter because they cannot find any of the usual signs of heart, kidney, liver, or brain disease. The patient is game; she un- dertakes to shake off her nervousness. Per- haps she succeeds for a while, but all the symptoms return with increased force because she naturally enough pushes beyond t...he lim- its of her strength.
The girl accuses herself; her friends and her family openly or covertly accuse her of being queer or a quitter. After a series of plunges and a like number of collapses she settles A WAY OUT 83 into chronic invalidism. Moral and physical strength are likely to go by the board together because there is nothing more discouraging than honest effort which is rewarded with con- tinued failure. Such a person needs desperately to go to a sanatorium, not for the continued pushing of an inadequate human machine, probably not for a further attempt to make her fit the conventional requirements; but for a careful and leisurely study of her limitations, for a considerable time of real rest with mini- mum effort of any kind, and, finally, for a build- ing-up of force and initiative within the natural and inevitable limitations.
