To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A specific remedy easily ad- ministered, attended with no unpleasant accompani- ments, and generally successful, would never be thrown aside, even a moment, for the sake of try- ing experiments with new remedies. We never hear the efficacy of sulphur in the Itch doubted. It is true, new remedies are sought for, not be- cause sulphur is an uncertain, but because it is a disagreeable remedy. There could be no such rea- son, if opium were a specific, or a tolerably successful remedy in Delirium Tr...emens. Its exhibition is easily managed. Practitioners have not been disap- pointed in its efficacy because they have failed to administer it rightly, but because they have not found it to answer the expectations which the representa- tions of its advocates excited. The uncertainty of opinion among physicians, therefore, concerning the use of opium, and indeed generally concerning the proper treatment of Delirium Tremens, is a practical proof that no one method has any superior or exclu- sive claim to our confidence ; or at any rate, that opium does not command the great success which has been attributed to it.
