To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Therefore, we siiould not give pancreatic ex- tracts with the expectation that they would render desirable service in the stomach, but we should rely upon either increa- sing the supply of ptyalin by slowly masticating the food, or by giving a ferment having similar properties to ptyalin ; this we have in diastase. From the discovery of diastase in malt, until quite recently, many attempts have been made to produce it in an isolated form economically enough to be used freely in medicine; with- ...out having to give it in the form of the semi-solid malt extracts which have been the only reliable form of it readily obtainable by the profession, as the liquid malt extracts do not contain an appreciable amount of diastase.* The disadvantage in its use in malt extracts is tHat we have to give a large bulk of the ex- tract to get a very small quantity of diastase; then too, the ex- tract contains fermentable sugars and extractive matters which may not only be of no value, but may give rise to fermentation in the stomach or intestinal tract.
