What reading level is A Manual of Military Surgery Or Hints On the Emergencies of Field Camp And Ho book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cit. , 67.
MILITARY SURGERY. 115 The number of sick that may be expected to be constantly on hand during any given campaign is estimated, on an average, at 10 per cent. ; but this proportion must neces- sarily be exceeded, especially in an invading army, with raw, undisciplined, and unaccli- mated troops. This was eminently true even in the Crimea, in a climate comparatively healthy, within a few miles of the sea. We may well imagine what would be the effects of the climate of the South upon th...e North- ern troops, if they were to pass far, during the hot season, beyond Mason and Dixon's line. Disease, in its worst form, would be sure to in- vade and thin their ranks at every step. Fever typhoid, typhous, remittent, intermittent, and yellow dysentery, diarrhoea, scurvy, pneumonia, and inflammation of the liver would accomplish more, infinitely more, for the Southern cause than all the weapons of war that could be placed in the hands of the Southern people. Typhoid, typhus, and yel- low fever, dysentery, diarrhoea, and scurvy would, in all human probability, soon become epidemic, and occasion a mortality truly ap- palling.
