To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The effect is mechanical ; the watery juice contained in the cells and intercellular spaces, expands in the act of freezing, and by this means ruptures and isolates the cells, and destroys the organization of the tuber. It does not appear, however, that any chemical change is produced in the first instance either on the starch or the other constituents, for Girardin* obtained the same proportions of water, fecula, woody fibre, albumen, sugar, and saline matteps, from frosted, as from unfrosted ...potatoes. But it is obvious that when the organ- ization and life of the potato is destroyed, decomposition must soon sdfcceed ; though even then the fecula or starch seems but little altered. I have already slightly alluded to the antiscorbutic property of the potato, and which I have in part ascribed to the contained citric acid. The importance of the subject de- mands a more specific reference to it. Sir Gilbert Blanef mentions that ra\v potatoes sliced, with vinegar, had been found beneficial in scurvy.
