To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The basis of the vast proprietary medicine business ispopular ignorance and credulity. And it needs to be pretty broad tosupport a traffic of such enormous proportions. During this generation certain branches of the life-saving andlife-prolonging art have made great advances out of empiricism onto thesolid ground of scientific knowledge. Of course I refer to surgery, andto the discovery of the causes and improvement in the treatment ofcontagious and epidemic diseases. The general practice has s...hared in thisscientific advance, but it is limited and always will be limited withinexperimental bounds, by the infinite variations in individualconstitutions, and the almost incalculable element of the interference ofmental with physical conditions. When we get an exact science of man, wemay expect an exact science of medicine. How far we are from this, we seewhen we attempt to make criminal anthropology the basis of criminallegislation. Man is so complex that if we were to eliminate one of hisapparently worse qualities, we might develop others still worse, or throwthe whole machine into inefficiency.
