To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In many cases, if we try to lessen the diarrhoea at once by the administration of chalk or opium, we only make matters worse, whereas a dose of castor-oil with a few drops of laudanum in it, just sufficient to lessen the irritation and not to interfere with the purgative action of the oil, will often put an end to the attack. It is interesting to notice here, also, how modern researches appear to explain the empirical use of cinnamon water in the chalk mixture with which the dose of castor-oil ...is so frequently followed up. Cinnamon water no doubt contains a small quantity of tannin, which may have a somewhat astringent action ; but the essential oil is probably its most important ingredient. This be- longs to the aromatic series, and is probably a good antiseptic ; while the oil of cloves, which along with cinnamon, is an important ingredient of aromatic chalk powder, is an antisep- tic of considerable power. Oil from one species of cinnamon (Cinnamomum Culilowan) is regarded in the Molucca Islands as a powerful astringent in cholera.
