To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a result of this un- certainty of mind the efforts of the attending physician are characterized by a perfunctory observance which is apt to dispel the confidence of patients and friends alike. It is therefore necessary, above all things, to evoke confidence on the part of the patient. This is best accomplished by the adoption of a manner ex- pressive of firmness, but not necessarily devoid of feeling. Above all things, anything approaching ex- aggeration of manner should be carefully avoided.... If the physician be called during the progress of an hysterical attack, he should avoid alarming the friends of the patient by abrupt or unnecessarily harsh injunc- tions.
