To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But suppose there resides in the place a watch- doctor who prescribes for symptoms, and who, among other things, has a remedy for the symptom of stop- ping ; and that this remedy consists in a certain kind of friction, shaking, or manipulation, an ointment applied to the outside, or an invisible particle of some nugatory substance inserted into the inside; and suppose that one or two watches in a hundred, which had stopped by accident, should by accident resume their motions under such treatmen...t, — could any thing but the most unmitigated folly draw the inference, that such a person is entitled to become the accredited horologer to the community? What is so conspicuously true in the common business of life, is only an example of what is more vitally true in the practice of medicine. If a man has had the misfortune to get a shot or a stab in his body, he does not need a doctor who administers a specific dose or a sovereign plaster for holes in the body : he wants a man who can tell him whether the wound has passed inside or outside of his peri- toneum, and whether it is requisite for him to make his will or to make arrangements for pursuing his journey.
