To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His local treatment is allowing or provoking the oozing as long as possible, and he finds that the soothing ointments used owe their value solely to the lard with which they are made. I have constantly pointed out to my patients that eczema is a natural ii8 PLEA FOR relief to the system, as it throws out safely on the skin some of the excess of plastic matter in the blood, which it cannot dispose of in the natural way through the kidneys. The next safest exit for this material is by the mucous ...surface of the throat and larynx and bronchia ; and the amount excreted from them in cases of chronic bronchitis, which are so common in gouty and rheumatic subjects, is sometimes very great. The phlegm coughed up is not mere watery fluid, but is more or less pure animal matter; as may be seen by putting it into spirit, when, like white of egg, it gets solid. Unfortunately both these skin and mucous exudations are treated as diseases per se, and are checked if possible. Surely it is better to allow the excess of material to escape from the blood in this way (if we do not cut down the excess of food which produces it) than to force the blood to relieve itself by depositing it in deeper and more important organs, as the A SIMPLER LIFE 119 liver, the nerve centres, or the heart.
