What reading level is Mental Derangements in India Their Symptoms And Treatment book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

A large percentage of them appear, how- ever, to be deaf and dumb, and strabismus is common among them, indicating probably some error in refrac- tion or other visual defect. They are capable of being taught simple employments, and are by no means immodest or indecent, and as a rule show none of the revolting tendencies or depraved appetites so commonly seen among other types of imbeciles. No- thing is known as to how they originate, in most cases no hereditary influence being traceable, and a ..." chuha" may often be found with absolutely normal parents and three or four healthy brothers and sisters. They appa- rently are almost, if not quite, all sprung from the lowest classes. It is possible they are due to the custom, pre- valent in those parts, of childless women going to pray and vow a dedication to the shrine if their prayers are heard and they are blessed with a child. Not that I fancy mental influence has anything to do with it, but, as the women stay there for several days, it is quite pos- sible that the guardians of the shrine every now and then have recourse to one of the male microcephalies to ensure that some of the childless women who spend the night at the shrine may reproduce a " chuha, " and so maintain the reputation of the tomb.
