What reading level is Diversions of a Naturalist book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has been found 298 DIVERSIONS OF A NATURALIST that domesticated birds (pigeons and fowls) fed on this polished rice become ill with symptoms like those of " Berri-berri," and even die. And it has been further discovered that these same birds can be cured by mixing some of the separated outer coat of sound rice grains with the " polished rice." The result of this observation on birds has been applied to human patients suffering from " Berri-berri." It is found that they are rapidly cured by g...iving them rice " outsides " to eat, and that those who are feeding on " polished rice " can be pre- vented from acquiring the disease " Berri-berri " by mixing rice " outsides " with the polished rice. The study of the subject has gone further.
A crystallizable substance allied to proteids has been separated by the chemist in quite minute quantity (one part by weight in 10,000 parts of rice) from the outer coat of rice grain, and is called " vitamine." It is this substance which prevents the " whole " rice grain from causing " Berri-berri " in men and birds who feed on it, and it has been ^hown experimentally that it prevents the development of " Berri-berri " when taken with " polished rice," and cures it when administered to man or bird suffering from that disease.
