To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The mechanical treatment of hving plants and animals as if they were automatic machines has great attractions for a large number of enthusiastic modern physiologists. They pride themselves on obtaining what they are pleased to designate exact results. They are ambitious to measure, to weigh, to demonstrate, and consci- entiously record everything ; and they inconsistently, in many cases, resort to the employment of the most dehcate, complicated, and expensive instruments, which they use in a cl...umsy, careless, inexact manner. Their modes of experiment are inexact and crude to a degree. They profess to obtain the secrets of the most sensitive tissues and organs in plants and animals by the employment of every conceivable kind of stimulus, and by hacking them about with knives, scissors, needles, &c., and torturing them until they are abnormal to an alarming extent, in the vain hope that they are imitating nature. I have seen one of th* so-called exact mechanical physiologists constructing a chart of the power exerted by and the movements characteristic of the heart of a frog by partially detaching the organ from the body, by lacerating and displacing its nervous and muscular fibres, and by attaching the latter to a balance furnished with a stile or pen and connected with a recording cylinder.
