What reading level is Curiosities of Medical Experience book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When it is injured, remembrance is impaired ; and, on the other hand, an accident has been known to improve the recollective faculties. A man remarkable for his bad memory fell from a considerable height upon his head ; ever after he could recol- lect the most trifling circumstance. The effects of different maladies will also produce various results on this faculty. In some instances names of persons and things are completely forgotten or misapplied; at other times, words beginning with a vowel... cannot be found. Sudden fright and cold have produced the same effects. An elderly man fell off his horse in|crossing a ford in a winter's night ; ever afterward he could not bring to his recollection the names of his wife and children, although he did not cease to recognise and love them as fondly as before the accident. Cold has been at all times considered injurious to memory; hence Paulus /Eginus called Oblivion the child of Cold.
In fevers, and a state of great debility, in a disordered con- dition of the digestive functions, and various affections of the head, we generally find that the attention cannot long be ap- plied to any one subject or a continued train of thoughts; all past circumstances are readily forgotten, while passing oc- currences arc most acutely observed and felt, excepting in cases of delirium, when we have the perception of surround- ing objects or receive an erroneous impression of their nature and agency.
